I wondered if you had any updates on the construction site at 1725 K Street? I work near there (used to work in the building) and since the completion of the demolition I haven't seen any sign of construction. Other buildings in the area have been demolished later and construction has already begun on those projects (i.e., the one at 17th and I where Riggs Bank used to be). Daniel Macy Hi.

Also at least from street level you can only see the ceiling each floor, so it doesn't look so messy. Yeah I prefer the glass walls that are so shinny you can’t really see into them!

But what are they really going to look like when the interiors are cluttered with office furniture and window treatments are installed. My office building has rather large windows and the clutter within makes the whole building look shabby.
