The $60 million American Pharmacists Association Headquarters Building built by Tishman Construction added a new 10-story, 335,925-sq-ft building to an existing 17,182-sq-ft historic building in a highly visible spot: the National Mall grounds.
It’s one of the few non-government buildings on the National Mall, so all elements of the building were subject to stringent review by various government and historical agencies.The building, which has successfully fit in with its neighbors, features a cast-stone façade, bronze window grilles and standing-seam metal mansard roof.
