$2.5 Million: The Priciest Condo in Columbia Heights History Finds a Buyer

  • July 13th 2017

by Nena Perry-Brown

A condo that delivered earlier this year is setting records in Columbia Heights.

The largest residence at the Helicopter Factory listed for $2.5 million — the highest price ever for a condo in Columbia Heights — has gone under contract.

The 5,077 square-foot, three-story unit, dubbed a “mansion warehouse”, was carved out of a factory building at 770-774 Girard Street NW (map) and has an industrial aesthetic that harkens back to its previous life as an inventor’s workshop.

The unit boasts a 50-by-50 foot layout, 15 foot-high ceilings, a wrap-around roof deck and a nearly 1,500 square-foot courtyard/parking area. Interior details inside the unit include exposed wooden beams, joists and brick walls, as well as two fireplaces.
