1333 H Street is a high-rise building in Northwest Washington, D.C. The building rises 12 floors and in height.

History

1333 H Street contains two connected buildings; the older west tower and the more recent east tower that was built in 1912 and 1982, respectively. Therefore, they have different architectural styles; the west tower exemplifies Beaux-Arts architecture, while the east tower is an example of modern architecture. Additionally, the building's entire facade incorporates glass, granite, and limestone as its material.
The building's ownership has changed several times. The first owner of the building was George Washington University. In 2008, it was bought by Miller Global Properties LLC, co-chaired by Myron Miller and Eyal Ofer of Global Holdings, who paid $130.7 million or about $486 per square foot to acquire it. It later sold the office to the MRP Realty and Rockpoint Group in 2014. After less than a half year ownership, the company sold the building for $162.5 million to the TA Realty, a company under Rockefeller Group in late 2015. Following the acquisition, the building was renovated in 2017. The renovation project included the new lobby, facade, and transition change between the towers. It was overseen by the previous owner, MRP Realty and managed by Davis Construction.
