Brokered by Cushman & Wakefield and powered by RealINSIGHT Marketplace, 450 H Street NW is a 31,340 SF, ten-story Class B office building in Washington, DC's East End, offered as an REO sale and delivered entirely vacant. The property sits on the north side of H Street between 4th and 5th Streets NW, two-tenths of a mile from Judiciary Square Metro, a quarter mile from Gallery Place-Chinatown, and roughly two blocks from Capital One Arena, where an $800 million renovation backed by a $515 million District investment is underway. Zoned D-4-R, the downtown district with a high-density residential emphasis, the building supports four paths to value: an owner-user seeking a self-contained Washington address, a value-add investor leasing into the East End's flight-to-quality market, a converter tapping the District's office-to-residential momentum, or a developer reimagining the site. The existing improvements represent an 8.87 FAR under a 110-foot height limit, well above the 3.5 FAR available for new office construction without credits. Built in 1986, the reinforced-concrete building features a side-core layout suited to full-floor users, two elevators, central HVAC, full sprinkler coverage and four below-grade parking spaces. Chinatown's 7th and H Street dining corridor, CityCenterDC and the Walter E. Washington Convention Center are all within a half-mile walk.
