400 Mass Ave Condominiums

Located at 400 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20001 | Penn Quarter

With a fascinating footprint in the heart of Downtown DC, 400 Mass Ave is one of the area’s recent addition to the luxury condominium market. Completed in 2005 by Douglas Development, the 13-story mixed-use building is parked on a narrow strip of land at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue, 4th Street, and H Street NW. The ambitious design by Esocoff & Associates in partnership with Weinstein Studio resulted in a long and narrow obelisk-like structure that is somewhat akin to the Streamline Moderne architectural movement of the 1930s. In this case, however, the building is a contemporary success story with full service amenities.

Named for its street address, 400 Mass Ave is generally regarded as being in the Penn Quarter neighborhood. However, Washington, DC is made up of some 131 different communities, with boundaries that often overlap. In this case, 400 Massachusetts Avenue is also associated with the small Judiciary Square enclave, home to various court buildings and museums as well as some condos. Meanwhile Penn Quarter is the name given to the Old Downtown neighborhood by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation in the 1970s, during a period of transition and revitalization. Today, the area is vibrant and thriving, with a number of recently built or redeveloped condominiums such as Clara Barton, The Lafayette, 555 Mass, Ventana, and Residences at Market Square. The neighborhood is hopping!
