The Pennsylvania Building, a Willco Companies development, is undergoing a third generation reincarnation. Originally built in the 1950’s and later redeveloped in the 1980’s by the Willco Companies, the building is being once again re-imagined and re-positioned to exceed the high standards set by its high profile address at 1275 Pennsylvania, NW. The Pennsylvania Building flanks the east end of Freedom Plaza and is prominently located along the Presidential Inaugural Parade Route between the US Capitol and the White House. Renovation plans for the 250,000 SF building include re-skinning the lower three floors of the exterior stone façade, a new metal and glass office entry marquee, improvements to the garage entry ramp, gutting and redesign of the office lobby and entry sequence including a two-story domed volume, and renovation of the typical floor elevator lobbies and restrooms. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2012.
