Penthouse Addition Approved for 1899 Pennsylvania Ave.
MRP Realty has won approval for the expansion of the penthouse at 1900 Pennsylvania Ave. The building at 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., was constructed in two phases approximately 90 years apart. Its structural skeleton dates from 1913-14 when an 11-story building known as the Commerce Building was constructed on the site prior to the enactment of the District’s first zoning regulations in 1920. The building underwent a major renovation in 2001-02 when all but the structural framing was demolished. Now plans call for the expansion of the penthouse area with approximately 2,215 square feet of new space.
