1111 Pennsylvania Avenue is a highrise office building in Washington D.C.. It sits on the former site of the historic Raleigh Hotel, which operated from 1893 until 1964. The building was developed by Jerry Wolman, designed by Edmund W. Dreyfus and Associates, and was constructed from 1965 to 1968. Originally named the Presidential Building, it was originally designed in the Brutalist style with 12 floors, a height of 135 ft (41 m), and a floor area of 253,000 sq ft (23,500 m), and its address was 415 12th Street NW. The building is set back from Pennsylvania Avenue by 50 ft (15 m).

The building underwent a $40,000,000 renovation from 2000 to 2002, designed by Shalom Baranes Associates, and the address was changed to the current one. Redesigned in the Postmodern style, it now has 14 floors, a height of 180 ft (55 m), and a floor area of 334,000 sq ft (31,000 sq m).
