building

Owned by TIAA and managed by Hines, 1900 K Street is a distinctive 13-story, 345,781-square-foot Class-A office building in the heart of downtown Washington's central business district. Designed by the acclaimed firm of Cesar Pelli & Associates, 1900 K Street features a distinctive curtain wall system, utilizing contrasting bands of glass and raised mullions. The property is further distinguished by a semicircular corner entrance that leads to a glass-walled rotunda and an impressive three-story lobby atrium. Tenant amenities include 6,000 square feet of on-site retail, a rooftop terrace, and a location near numerous fine-dining restaurants and convenient access to the Washington Metro system.

1900 K Street earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance as a result of retrofits to building systems and improvements to building energy management made possible by using the existing building automation system to its fullest potential. The major retrofit performed was the installation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) on building chillers, enabling them to operate at speeds commensurate with actual demand. In addition, the building management team plans to install a VFD on the tenant condenser pump, and is exploring improving energy efficiency through the use of occupancy sensors to control lighting in tenant spaces.

Hines has been recognized with multiple ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence and Partner of the Year awards.  For a summary of the firm's participation in the ENERGY STAR program and other sustainability information, visit www.hines.com/sustainability.

TIAA is a seven-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award winner whose Global Real Estate Sustainability Initiative (GRESI) reflects the firm’s strong commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. The GRESI is a portfolio-wide initiative that sets goals for strategic energy management, emphasizes operational excellence and continual improvement, and acts as an expanded fiduciary framework to better serve the needs of clients, investors, tenants, and communities.
