Hopefully the finished product somehow looks much, much better.

I’m not a fan.

They tore off a newer addition in the back, and built the new structure with the floors lined up with the old warehouse. Even the addition’s columns are the same diameter and round shape.

No retail for this, but they will have public exhibits and large theaters to have live studio audiences for some of their shows. Overall, a great addition to NoMa!

Also, the tower cranes visible in the backgrounds of pictures #2 & #3 are actually for different projects… the first is for 2 M Street NE, and the second is for Camden NoMa. Each is a ~350 unit apartment building.
