For Sale: HUD’s D.C. Headquarters Building

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., is up for sale, with the Trump administration adding what HUD Secretary Scott Turner calls the “ugliest building in D.C.” to its list of federal properties being sold in a push to reduce the government’s real estate holdings.

The HUD headquarters is in the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building, and was added to a list of federal properties Thursday that the General Services Administration has targeted for “accelerated disposal,” Bloomberg reported.

The property is in a prime location, sitting just two blocks from the National Mall and atop the L’Enfant Plaza metro station, but a buyer will need deep pockets to restore it for modern needs.
