Centry-Old DC Building Brings New Dimension To Contemporary Living

Yale Steam Laundry Condominium offers progressive, breathtaking design and luxurious amenities in flourishing metropolitan community

Washington DC – In the city where political dirty linen is often aired, a century-old laundry plant could not be a better place to live. Built in 1902, the Yale Steam Laundry washed the linens for many of D.C.’s hotels and government buildings—including the Congress and White House—until its 1976 closing. Now this legendary site has found new life as part of the Yale Steam Laundry Condominium Community.

Timeless in design and style, the historic Yale Steam Laundry offers 16 unique, loft residences designed by renowned Chicago architect, John Ronan. Each residence combines the best of historic architecture with cutting-edge contemporary design. Features include dramatic 14 -foot ceilings with exposed beams, over-sized double-hung windows, and custom maple cabinets with surrounding wood paneling. Architectural surprises abound -- like entry doors made from hot-rolled steel, frosted glass bathroom doors, and Avonite countertops. Some units include two-level floor plans with dramatic interior stairways trimmed with maple paneling.

The 16 lofts in the historic laundry are the newest release within the Yale Steam Laundry community. Phase 1, known as Yale East, combines the original laundry building with a new 133-unit tower. The Yale East tower has an exciting variety of one and two-bedroom floor plans as well as a limited number of New York loft-style units with modern and unique finishes. The two buildings that make up Yale East share a large decorated lobby and great amenities. Phase 2 includes a planned Yale West tower with 210 units.

The Yale Steam Laundry is literally steps away from the Gallery Place shops, restaurants and Metro. Residents can catch a movie or see Cold Play at the Verizon Center. They can also shop at the new Safeway at 5th and K Streets or grab a Starbucks on the way to work. Both are only a block away. The area is also home to several headquarters of high-impact organizations, including XM Satellite Radio, National Public Radio, the Securities and Exchange Commission, CNN, and the Department of Education. Transportation is a snap with three metro stations within walking distance, multiple bus routes, nearby Union Station, and easy access to I-395, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

Residents can chill in the rooftop pool or relax on the expansive sundeck. The historic laundry also houses a state-of-the-art fitness center – one of the largest and most comprehensive of any condominium in town. Adjacent to the fitness center is a billiard lounge with two 10-foot Brunswick pool tables.

Located at 5th and New York Avenue NW, and starting in the $400, 000’s, Yale Steam Laundry’s 16 loft units are the new gem of DC living and will go quickly. To stake your claim in a place where innovation still lives, call 202-628-0460 visit www.yalelofts.com.
