The Cairo - DC's Tallest Condo Building

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010 at 6:59am. 2230 Views, 0 Comments.

the_cairo_400  

Towering over Dupont Circle the way Manute Bol used to man the low post for the Bullets, the Cairo is DC's tallest residential building.  At 12 stories, the Cairo would seem more like Muggsy Bogues in high-rise centric markets like Manhattan, Miami or Chicago, but in the District it is a giant.

The Cairo was designed by architect Thomas Franklin Schneider who was inspired during a trip to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.  He fashioned the Cairo after the Fair's Transportation Building.  The Dupont neighborhood didn't like the new skyscraper and soon afterward the DC Board of Commissioners enacted DC's stringent Heights of Buildings Act to prevent another "skyscraper" from being built in the District.

In its early life, the Cairo was the most glamorous…

Have you heard about the new mezzanine-level people watching perch at the P Street Whole Foods?  Now you can sit high above the action and watch health-conscious mid-city-ites shake melons, squeeze oranges and occasionally sneak a grape or two. People watching doesn't get any better than this!

For those who like to people watch.....and who doesn't in DC...how about a DC condo with a prime-time people watching balcony?  What could be better than checking out the scenery from your private balcony?

Much of the DC housing stock has outdoor balconies and space orientated away from the action towards the rear property.  After much introspective thought, here are our picks for the best people watching balconies in the District:

 dumbarton_buffalo_240In the upper-crust Georgetown social circles, a friendly rivalry exists between residents of the East Village and West  Village enclaves.  Although not fortified like the Maginot Line during World War II, Wisconsin Avenue serves as the dividing line between these two urban villages.  East Village is home to the rich and famous including Ben Bradlee, Sally Quinn and Bob Woodward and has also been featured in several movies over the years.

One of the key attractions to East Village residents is the close proximity to both Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom and their Metro Stations.  With Walk Scores in the mid 80s, the East Village is classified as a "very walkable" neighborhood.  East Village residents enjoy the greenery, natural beauty and serenity of…
