One Street Commercial Properties' plans to convert the office building at 3333 K Street NW (map) into a 30-unit residential project. The five-story property is formerly the home to the headquarters for Legal Services which moved to space at 18th and Eye Streets NW.

The plan for the conversion is to gut the interiors to create two retail spaces on the ground floor with 30 apartments or condos on floors 2-5. The current penthouse level will be removed, and two new floors will be added, including a new penthouse with a pool, roof terrace and garden areas. Rich Markus Architects is in charge of the design.
