[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Intelsat building sits on a ground lease from the federal government. So DC wouldn't be owning the ground, just the 45 year old, highly inefficient but classified historic, buildings which sit on them, plus whatever term remains on the lease. Each of the fifteen "pod" towers contains a highly inefficient central atrium. [/quote] Good lord this is a ridiculous system. The federal government needs to raze the site and sell off parcels (to the city, developers for housing, etc.) It could become a whole new neighborhood right on top of a transit hub. [/quote]
