Town Center Plaza is a renovation of two existing 9 story apartment towers in Southwest Washington, DC and conversion to condominiums. Designed by I.M. Pei and built in 1960, the all glass and concrete towers are a popular example of Modernism in this area of the city. Located near the Waterfront/SEU Metro Station, the site has a large central courtyard, with existing parking lots on the north and south ends of the site. The buildings are set back at the first floor, creating a loggia wrapping around the buildings. Site improvements include reorienting the building entrances towards the courtyard, adding a drop-off area, and new landscaping. New curved glass storefront at the lobby, as well as new mail, office, and great room spaces have been designed at the first floor, and a new fitness room is being added at the basement level. In the units, kitchen, bathroom, and closet walls have been reconfigured to open up the floor plans. The units will also receive new finishes, fixtures, and appliances. Renovation work also includes a new mechanical system, replacement of existing windows, and cleaning and restoration of the concrete façade.
