20 Mass earns GADA award

The Global Architecture Design Awards have honored the LEO A DALY-designed 20 Mass with a silver award for mixed-use development.

The former federal office building at 20 Massachusetts Ave. in Washington D.C. was reimagined and rebuilt, becoming a 427,000-SF mixed-use development with office space, a luxury hotel — the Royal Sonesta Capitol Hill at 20 Mass — amenities and retail. The adaptive reuse re-stitched the existing building into an evolving urban context and created a vital new social and cultural hub for the neighborhood.
