The Axis Condominium - luxury modern condos in washington, dc

Modern Living at the the Axis Condominium on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

Located at 245 15th Street SW, Washington, DC 20003, Axis is a contemporary boutique condominium building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Set along a lovely treelined street south of Massachusetts Avenue, the handsome red brick structure is home to  20 units spread over four stories. Initially planned as The Venetian and later renamed Axis, the project from Macy Development was completed in 2008 with a design that combines traditional elements with newer cubist flavors, adding up to a modern and contemporary look that does not conflict with the historic nature of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Positioned between C Street and Kings Ct in an area primarily devoted to older row houses, the new construction project took the place of two adjoining properties. As a result, the entrance to the Axis building reads 243-245 15th Street. Other condominium buildings in the area include Car Barn, and the C&P Telephone Company.
