The Watergate complex is a group of six buildings in the <a href="Foggy_Bottom" title="Foggy Bottom">Foggy Bottom</a> neighborhood of <a href="Washington%2C_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a>, United States. The complex includes a development of <a href="Housing_cooperative" title="Housing cooperative">cooperative apartment</a> residences. It also includes a hotel and an office building, which was the location of the <a href="Watergate_scandal" title="Watergate scandal">Watergate burglary</a> on June 17, 1972, which led to the <a href="Richard_Nixon's_resignation_speech" title="Richard Nixon's resignation speech">resignation</a> of U.S. president <a href="Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> two years later, on August 8, 1974 and serves as the basis for the complex's infamy. The complex covers a total of 10 acres (4 ha) just north of the <a href="John_F._Kennedy_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts" title="John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts">John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="History">History</h3></div>

For over a century, the land now occupied by the Watergate complex belonged to the Gas Works of the <a href="WGL_Holdings" title="WGL Holdings">Washington Gas Light Company</a>, which produced "<a href="Coal_gas" title="Coal gas">manufactured gas</a>", a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and other flammable and nonflammable gases, for heating, cooking, and lighting throughout Washington, D.C.<a href="#cite_note-Penczer-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-Spot-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> Gas production ceased at the site in 1947, and the plant was demolished shortly thereafter.<a href="#cite_note-Penczer-4">[4]</a>

During the 1950s, the <a href="World_Bank" class="mw-redirect" title="World Bank">World Bank</a> considered building its international headquarters here and on the adjacent site (which now houses the Kennedy Center), but rejected the site for unspecified reasons. It constructed its headquarters at its current location at 1818 <a href="H_Street_(Washington%2C_D.C.)#H_Street_NW" title="H Street (Washington, D.C.)">H Street NW</a> in Washington, D.C.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

Built between 1963 and 1971, the Watergate became one of the most desirable living spaces in <a href="Washington%2C_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a>, popular with members of <a href="United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> and political appointees of the <a href="Federal_government_of_the_United_States" title="Federal government of the United States">executive branch</a>.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> The complex has been sold several times since the 1980s. During the 1990s, it was subdivided and its component buildings and parts of buildings were sold to various owners.<a href="#cite_note-Haggerty-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-Sale-10">[10]</a>

In 1972, the headquarters of the <a href="Democratic_National_Committee" title="Democratic National Committee">Democratic National Committee</a>, then located on the sixth floor of the Watergate Office Building, was <a href="Burglary" title="Burglary">burgled</a>; private campaign documents were photographed and telephones were wiretapped.<a href="#cite_note-LewisPlot-11">[11]</a> The <a href="United_States_Senate_Watergate_Committee" title="United States Senate Watergate Committee">U.S. Senate investigation</a> into the burglary revealed that high officials in the administration of President <a href="Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> had ordered the break-in and later tried to cover up their involvement. Additional crimes were also uncovered. The <a href="Watergate_scandal" title="Watergate scandal">Watergate scandal</a>, named after the complex, resulted in <a href="Richard_Nixon's_resignation_speech" title="Richard Nixon's resignation speech">Nixon's resignation</a> on August 9, 1974.<a href="#cite_note-Kilpatrick1974-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-WoodwardBernstein2005-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-Genovese1999-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kutler-15">[15]</a>

The name "Watergate" and the <a href="Suffix" title="Suffix">suffix</a> "<a href="List_of_-gate_scandals_and_controversies" title="List of -gate scandals and controversies">-gate</a>" have since become synonymous with and applied by journalists to controversial topics and scandals in the United States and elsewhere, even extending to contexts where English is not a major language.<a href="#cite_note-Trahair1994-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-SmithRichter1993-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-LullHinerman1997-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hamilton1992-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-Marirrodriga2008-20">[20]</a>

The Watergate <a href="City_block#Superblock" title="City block">area</a> is bounded on the north by <a href="Virginia_Avenue" title="Virginia Avenue">Virginia Avenue</a>, on the east by <a href="New_Hampshire_Avenue" title="New Hampshire Avenue">New Hampshire Avenue</a>, on the south by F Street, and on the west by the <a href="Rock_Creek_and_Potomac_Parkway" title="Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway">Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway</a> which is along the Potomac River.<a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a> It is in the <a href="Foggy_Bottom%2C_Washington%2C_D.C." class="mw-redirect" title="Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C.">Foggy Bottom</a> neighborhood, next to the <a href="John_F._Kennedy_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts" title="John F.

The complex sits near the eastern terminus of the <a href="Chesapeake_and_Ohio_Canal" title="Chesapeake and Ohio Canal">Chesapeake and Ohio Canal</a>, which operated from 1831 to 1924 and is now a <a href="Chesapeake_and_Ohio_Canal_National_Historical_Park" title="Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park">National Historical Park</a>. The remains of the gravity dam across <a href="Rock_Creek_(Potomac_River_tributary)" title="Rock Creek (Potomac River tributary)">Rock Creek</a>, as well as <a href="Waste_Weir" class="mw-redirect" title="Waste Weir">Waste Weir</a> #1 are at this site.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Land once owned by the canal company was part of the 10-acre (4.0 ha) site purchased in 1960 by the project's developer, Rome-based <a href="Societ%C3%A0_Generale_Immobiliare" title="Società Generale Immobiliare">Società Generale Immobiliare</a> (SGI).<a href="#cite_note-projectsite-23">[23]</a>

In his 2018 book The Watergate: Inside America's Most Infamous Address, author <a href="Joseph_Rodota" title="Joseph Rodota">Joseph Rodota</a> gave three accounts of the origin of the name, based on sources inside the development team: Author and playwright <a href="Warren_Adler" title="Warren Adler">Warren Adler</a>, while working as a publicist for the developers, came up with the name; Nicolas Salgo, a New York financier who suggested the original site to Societa Generale Immobiliare, acquired the name from Marjory Hendricks, owner of the Water Gate Inn; and three local executives—Giuseppe Cecchi, an employee of Societa Generale Immobiliare, Nicolas Salgo and Royce Ward—came up with the name, inspired in part by the Water Gate Inn, and recommended it to executives in the Rome office for approval. According to Rodota, the earliest use of the name Watergate in the surviving files of Societa Generale Immobiliare is a June 8, 1961, memorandum authored by Giuseppe Cecchi, summarizing an early meeting with officials of the future <a href="John_F._Kennedy_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts" title="John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts">John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts</a> about the proposed project.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

In his 2009 book Presidential Power on Trial: From Watergate to All the President's Men, William Noble wrote that the Watergate "got its name from overlooking the 'gate' that regulated the flow of water from the <a href="Potomac_River" title="Potomac River">Potomac River</a> into the <a href="Tidal_Basin" title="Tidal Basin">Tidal Basin</a> at flood tide."<a href="#cite_note-noble-25">[25]</a> That gate (near the <a href="Jefferson_Memorial" title="Jefferson Memorial">Jefferson Memorial</a>) is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) downriver from the Watergate complex.

Another namesake, the "Water Gate Inn" restaurant (1942–1966), operated on the site for more than two decades before the Watergate complex was built.<a href="#cite_note-saharch-26">[26]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Watergate_steps_performance_stage">Watergate steps performance stage</h3></div>

In 2004, <a href="The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">Washington Post</a> writer John Kelly argued that the name was most directly linked to the "Water Steps" or "Water Gate", a set of ceremonial stairs west of the <a href="Lincoln_Memorial" title="Lincoln Memorial">Lincoln Memorial</a> that led down to the Potomac.<a href="#cite_note-Kelly-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-steps-29">[29]</a> The steps had been originally planned as a ceremonial gateway to the city and an official reception area for dignitaries arriving in Washington, D.C., via <a href="Water_taxi" title="Water taxi">water taxi</a> from Virginia, though they never served this function.<a href="#cite_note-Kelly-27">[27]</a> Instead, beginning in 1935, a floating performance stage on the Potomac River was anchored to the base of the steps. It was the site for open-air concerts and the audience could sit on the stairs.<a href="#cite_note-Kelly-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a> Up to 12,000 people would sit on the steps and surrounding grass to listen to symphonies, military bands, and operas. The barge concerts ended in 1965 when jet airliner service began at <a href="Ronald_Reagan_Washington_National_Airport" title="Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport">National Airport</a> and the noise impaired the venue's viability.<a href="#cite_note-Spot-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kelly-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

The music venue was depicted in scenes in the motion pictures <a href="Houseboat_(film)" title="Houseboat (film)">Houseboat</a> (1958)<a href="#cite_note-Spot-5">[5]</a> and <a href="Born_Yesterday_(1950_film)" title="Born Yesterday (1950 film)">Born Yesterday</a> (1950).<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Planning">Planning</h3></div>

The Watergate complex was developed by the Italian firm SGI.<a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-RomanGiant-35">[35]</a> The company purchased the 10 acres (40,000 m2) that belonged to the defunct <a href="Chesapeake_and_Ohio_Canal" title="Chesapeake and Ohio Canal">Chesapeake and Ohio Canal</a> in February 1960 for <a href="United_States_dollar" title="United States dollar">$</a>10 million.<a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-RomanGiant-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-Willmann-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> The project was announced on October 21, 1960.<a href="#cite_note-Willmann-36">[36]</a> <a href="Luigi_Moretti" title="Luigi Moretti">Luigi Moretti</a> of the <a href="Sapienza_University_of_Rome" title="Sapienza University of Rome">University of Rome</a> was the chief architect, and Milton Fischer of the D.C.-based firm of Corning, Moore, Elmore and Fischer the associate architect.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-Willmann-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-EisenTouch-38">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-WillmanShudders-40">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> The apartment buildings included two-story units on the first and second floors, while the top-floor units had private rooftop <a href="Terrace_(building)" title="Terrace (building)">terraces</a> and <a href="Fireplace" title="Fireplace">fireplaces</a>.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> The design for the entire complex also envisioned an electronic security system so extensive that the press claimed "intruders will have difficulty getting onto the grounds undetected."<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> Boris V. Timchenko, a noted D.C.-based <a href="Landscape_architect" title="Landscape architect">landscape architect</a>, supervised the design of the grounds, which included more than 150 planters, tiers of fountains designed to create sounds like a waterfall, landscaped rooftop terraces, swimming pools, and a 7-acre (28,000 m2) park.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> Landscape features such as planters would also be used to create privacy barriers between apartments.<a href="#cite_note-EisenTouch-38">[38]</a> The complex was the first <a href="Mixed-use_development" title="Mixed-use development">mixed-use development</a> in the District of Columbia,<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> and was intended to help define the area as a business and residential rather than industrial district.<a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> The Watergate complex was intended to be a "city within a city", and provide so many amenities that residents would not need to leave. Among these were a 24-hour receptionist, room service provided by the Watergate Hotel, health club, restaurants, shopping mall, medical and dental offices, grocery, pharmacy, post office, and liquor store.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> At the time, it was also the largest renewal effort in the District of Columbia undertaken solely with private funds.<a href="#cite_note-Clopton-44">[44]</a>

Initially, the project was to cost $75 million and consist of six 16-story buildings comprising 1,400 apartment units, a 350-room hotel, office space, shops, 19 luxury "villas" (<a href="Townhouses" class="mw-redirect" title="Townhouses">townhouses</a>), and three-level underground parking for 1,250 vehicles.<a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-Willmann-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-EisenTouch-38">[38]</a> The Watergate's curved structures were designed to emulate two nearby elements. The first was the proposed <a href="Inner_Loop_(Washington%2C_D.C.)" title="Inner Loop (Washington, D.C.)">Inner Loop Expressway</a>, a curving freeway expected to be built just in front of the Watergate within the next decade.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-52">[a]</a> The second was the nearby Kennedy Center, then in the planning stage and whose original design was supposed to be curvilinear.<a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-34">[34]</a> Although the Kennedy Center later adopted a rectangular shape for cost reasons, the Watergate complex's design did not change.<a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-53">[52]</a> Incidentally, the curved structures would also give apartment dwellers an excellent view of the Potomac River.<a href="#cite_note-EisenTouch-38">[38]</a> Because of the curves in the structure, the Watergate complex was one of the first major construction projects in the United States in which computers played a significant role in the design work.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[53]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Approval_controversies">Approval controversies</h3></div>

Because the District of Columbia is the seat of the United States government, proposals for buildings in the city (particularly those in the downtown area, near federal buildings and monuments) must pass through an extensive, complex, and time-consuming approval process. The approval process for the Watergate complex had five stages. The first stage considered the proposed project as a whole as well as the first proposed building.<a href="#cite_note-GoAhead-55">[54]</a> The remaining four stages considered the four remaining proposed buildings in turn.<a href="#cite_note-GoAhead-55">[54]</a> At each stage, three separate planning bodies were required to give their approval: The <a href="National_Capital_Planning_Commission" title="National Capital Planning Commission">National Capital Planning Commission</a> (NCPC), the District of Columbia Zoning Commission (DCZC), and the <a href="United_States_Commission_of_Fine_Arts" title="United States Commission of Fine Arts">United States Commission of Fine Arts</a> (USCFA) (which had approval authority over any buildings built on the Potomac River to ensure that they fit aesthetically with their surroundings).<a href="#cite_note-White-56">[55]</a>

In December 1961, 14 months after the project was publicly announced, the NCPC voiced its concern that the project's 16-story buildings would overshadow the Lincoln Memorial and the proposed "National Cultural Center" (later to be called the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts).<a href="#cite_note-Clopton-44">[44]</a> At the time, the District of Columbia had a 90-foot (27 m) height limit on all buildings except for those located exclusively along business streets.<a href="#cite_note-Clopton-44">[44]</a> To obtain a height waiver, SGI would have to include retail office space in the complex, but the site was then zoned only for apartment buildings.<a href="#cite_note-Clopton-44">[44]</a> Thus, initial approval first had to be won from the District of Columbia Zoning Commission.<a href="#cite_note-Opponents-57">[56]</a>

By the time the DCZC met to consider approval in mid-April 1962, the cost of the project had been scaled back to $50 million.<a href="#cite_note-Opponents-57">[56]</a> Because the District of Columbia lacked <a href="District_of_Columbia_home_rule" title="District of Columbia home rule">home rule</a>, DCZC planners were reluctant to act without coordinating with agencies of the federal government.<a href="#cite_note-Opponents-57">[56]</a><a href="#cite_note-GoshkoChange-58">[57]</a> Additionally, many civic leaders, architects, <a href="Businessperson" title="Businessperson">business people</a>, and <a href="Urban_planner" title="Urban planner">city planners</a> opposed the project before the DCZC because they feared it was too tall and too large.<a href="#cite_note-Opponents-57">[56]</a> By the end of April, DCZC had announced that it would delay its decision.<a href="#cite_note-Isaacs-59">[58]</a> The Commission of Fine Arts also had concerns: it felt some of the land should be preserved as public space<a href="#cite_note-Clopton-44">[44]</a> and objected to the height of the proposed buildings as well as their <a href="Modern_architecture" title="Modern architecture">modern</a> design.<a href="#cite_note-FineArtsDelay-60">[59]</a> Three days after the DCZC meeting, the USCFA announced it was putting a "hold" on the Watergate development until its concerns were addressed.<a href="#cite_note-FineArtsDelay-60">[59]</a> To counter this resistance, SGI officials met with members of the USCFA in New York City in April 1962 and defended the complex's design.<a href="#cite_note-Isaacs-59">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-61">[60]</a> SGI also reduced the planned height of the Watergate to 14 stories from 16.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a> In May 1962, the NCPC reviewed the project. Additional revisions in the design plan pushed the cost back up to $65 million, even though only 17 villas were now planned.<a href="#cite_note-RomanGiant-35">[35]</a> Based on this proposal, the NCPC approved the Watergate plan.<a href="#cite_note-62">[61]</a>

With the support of the NCPC, SGI dug in its heels: It declared it was not interested in developing the unsightly, abandoned commercial site unless its basic curvilinear design (now called "Watergate Towne") was approved, and it lobbied DCZC commissioners in late May, lecturing them on the District's architectural heritage and the beauty of modern architecture.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-GoshkoMay1962130Feet-63">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[63]</a> SGI officials also lobbied the USCFA. Meanwhile, <a href="White_House" title="White House">White House</a> staff made it known that the <a href="John_F._Kennedy" title="John F. Kennedy">Kennedy administration</a> wanted the height of the complex lowered to 90 feet (27 m).<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> Three key staff were opposed to the project on height grounds: <a href="Arthur_M._Schlesinger%2C_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.">Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.</a>, Special Assistant to the President; August Heckscher III, Special Consultant on the Arts; and William Walton, a Kennedy family confidant.<a href="#cite_note-SternWH-65">[64]</a> The three briefed President <a href="John_F._Kennedy" title="John F. Kennedy">John F. Kennedy</a> on the issue, but it was not clear who made the decision to request the height reduction or who made the request public.<a href="#cite_note-SternWH-65">[64]</a> The White House announcement surprised many, and offended federal and city planners, who saw it as presidential interference in their activities.<a href="#cite_note-SternWH-65">[64]</a>

SGI's chief architect, <a href="Gabor_Acs" title="Gabor Acs">Gábor Ács</a>, and Watergate chief architect Luigi Moretti flew to New York City on May 17 and defended the complex's design in a three-hour meeting with USCFA members.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-GoshkoChange-58">[57]</a> SGI agreed to shrink three of the planned buildings in the development to 13 stories (112 ft), with the remaining building rising to 130 feet (40 m).<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-GoshkoChange-58">[57]</a> SGI also agreed to add more open space by reducing the size of the Watergate to 1.73 million square feet (161,000 m2) from 1.911 million square feet (177,500 m2) and by reorienting or re-siting some of the buildings.<a href="#cite_note-GoshkoChange-58">[57]</a> The USCFA gave its assent to the revised construction plan on May 28, the White House withdrew its objections, and the DCZC gave its final approval on July 13.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Isaacs-59">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-GoshkoWins-66">[65]</a><a href="#cite_note-67">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-68">[67]</a><a href="#cite_note-FinalDCApproval-69">[68]</a> The final plan broke one building into two, creating five rather than four construction projects.<a href="#cite_note-GoshkoWins-66">[65]</a><a href="#cite_note-FinalDCApproval-69">[68]</a> Moretti later admitted he probably would have lowered the height of the buildings anyway,<a href="#cite_note-EisenTouch-38">[38]</a> and thought that the approval process had gone relatively smoothly.<a href="#cite_note-WillmanShudders-40">[40]</a> Construction was expected to begin in spring 1963 and last five years.<a href="#cite_note-FinalDCApproval-69">[68]</a>

The Watergate project faced one final controversy. The group <a href="Americans_United_for_Separation_of_Church_and_State" title="Americans United for Separation of Church and State">Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State</a> began a national letter-writing campaign opposing the project, alleging that the zoning waivers would not have been given had <a href="Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">the Vatican</a> not been a major investor in SGI.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-Protestants-70">[69]</a> By mid-November 1962, more than 2,000 protest letters had been sent to Congress and another 1,500 to the White House.<a href="#cite_note-Protestants-70">[69]</a> But the group's attempt to stop construction failed, and the project went forward.

The project won its $44 million financial backing in late 1962, and its construction permits in May 1963.<a href="#cite_note-White-56">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-72">[71]</a> Construction began on the first building, the Watergate East apartment, in August 1963.<a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-WGEast-73">[72]</a> The builder was Magazine Bros.

The U.S. Commission on Fine Arts attempted once more to revise the project. In October 1963, the USCFA alleged that the height of the Watergate complex, as measured from the parkway in front of it, would exceed the agreed-upon height restrictions.<a href="#cite_note-White-56">[55]</a> SGI officials, however, contended that architects are required by law to measure from the highest point on the property on which they are to build; using this measurement, the building met the May 1962 agreement stipulations.<a href="#cite_note-White-56">[55]</a> On January 10, 1963, SGI and the USCFA agreed that the height of the complex would not exceed 140 feet (43 m) above water level (10 inches below that of the nearby Lincoln Memorial), that fewer than 300 apartment units would be built (to reduce population congestion), and to eliminate the proposed luxury villas (to create more open space).<a href="#cite_note-GoAhead-55">[54]</a> Luxury penthouse apartments, however, could extend above the 140-foot (43 m) limit if they were <a href="Setback_(architecture)" title="Setback (architecture)">set back</a> from the edge of the building and the 14th floor was foregone.<a href="#cite_note-GoAhead-55">[54]</a> With these adjustments, the total cost of the first apartment complex (excluding plumbing, electricity, and decoration) was estimated at $12,184,376.<a href="#cite_note-GoAhead-55">[54]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Construction">Construction</h3></div>

Construction proceeded. The foundation and basement of the first building, the 110-foot (34 m) Watergate East, were completed by September 1964, and the metal and concrete superstructure rose in October.<a href="#cite_note-WGEast-73">[72]</a> In September 1964, the Watergate's developers signed a first-of-its-kind agreement under which the Washington Gas Light Co. would provide the entire complex with its heating and air conditioning.<a href="#cite_note-74">[73]</a> The Watergate East was completed in May 1965, and a month later the first model apartment unit was opened to the public for viewing.<a href="#cite_note-75">[74]</a> The building formally opened on October 23, 1965, and the first tenants moved in a few days later.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-76">[75]</a> Prices for the 238 <a href="Housing_cooperative" title="Housing cooperative">cooperative apartment</a> units ranged from $17,000 for efficiencies to more than $250,000 for penthouses, and were almost completely sold out by April 1967.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> The average apartment contained two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a dining room, and a kitchen, and cost $60,000.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a> Each parking space in the underground garage cost $3,000.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a> The tenants took title to their building on April 8, 1966.<a href="#cite_note-77">[76]</a> In November, a <a href="Safeway_Inc." class="mw-redirect" title="Safeway Inc.">Safeway</a> supermarket, a <a href="Peoples_Drug" title="Peoples Drug">Peoples Drug</a> (now known as <a href="CVS/pharmacy" class="mw-redirect" title="CVS/pharmacy">CVS pharmacy</a>), beauty salon, barber shop, bank, bakery, liquor store, florist, dry cleaner, post office, upscale shops, and high-end restaurant took up residency in the retail space on the ground floor.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-InPlace-78">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-79">[78]</a> Riverview Realty was the leasing agent for the complex.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a>

Construction began on the second building, the 11-story office building and hotel, in February 1965.<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a> Both opened on March 30, 1967; the Watergate Hotel welcomed its first guests the same day.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-81">[80]</a> The 12-story hotel initially included 213 rooms, while the 12-story office building, attached to the hotel by a <a href="Colonnade" title="Colonnade">colonnade</a>, had 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of office space.<a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> The combined hotel/office building included a health club, space on the ground floor for shops, and a restaurant, the Roman Terrace, on the top floor.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> Later in April, the <a href="Democratic_National_Committee" title="Democratic National Committee">Democratic National Committee</a> leased office space in the building's retail office portion.<a href="#cite_note-Democrats-82">[81]</a>

The third building in the complex, Watergate South,<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> opened in June 1968. It contained 260 residential units, more than any other building in the complex.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a>

Construction on the fourth building in the complex, the Watergate West apartments, began in July 1967.<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a> Apartments in the unfinished building, priced from $30,000 to $140,000, began selling in October 1967, an indication of how popular the complex was with District residents.<a href="#cite_note-InPlace-78">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-85">[84]</a> The Watergate West <a href="Topping_out" title="Topping out">topped out</a> on August 16, 1968, at which point the cost of the project had risen to $70 million.<a href="#cite_note-Spreads-86">[85]</a> Construction was completed in 1969.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fifth_building">Fifth building</h3></div>

Controversy arose over the construction of the Watergate Office Building, the complex's fifth and final structure. Its original design called for a 140-foot (43 m) structure with the upper floors set back to create more space and light.<a href="#cite_note-Morgan-87">[86]</a> But in June 1965, as excavation and clearing began for the Kennedy Center, its advocates began agitating to lower the planned height of the final Watergate building.<a href="#cite_note-Morgan-87">[86]</a> The <a href="General_counsel" title="General counsel">general counsel</a> for the Kennedy Center told the USCFA that the Watergate Town (the development had dropped the "e") was planning a 170-foot (52 m) building that would harm the aesthetics of the Kennedy Center and intrude on its park-like surroundings.<a href="#cite_note-Morgan-87">[86]</a> The Watergate's attorneys responded that their building would stay within the agreed-upon 140-foot (43 m) height.<a href="#cite_note-Morgan-87">[86]</a>

The disagreement continued for nearly two years,<a href="#cite_note-88">[87]</a> delaying the planned fall 1967 start to construction.<a href="#cite_note-89">[88]</a> Watergate apartment residents such as Senator <a href="Wayne_Morse" title="Wayne Morse">Wayne Morse</a> lobbied the USFCA, DCZC, and NCPC to force SGI to accede to the Kennedy Center's wishes.<a href="#cite_note-90">[89]</a> In November 1967, the USCFA reaffirmed its approval of the Watergate project.<a href="#cite_note-91">[90]</a> When the DCZC appeared on the verge of giving its approval as well, the Kennedy Center argued that the DCZC had no jurisdiction over the controversy.<a href="#cite_note-WestZoners-92">[91]</a> The DCZC disagreed, and re-asserted its jurisdiction.<a href="#cite_note-WestZoners-92">[91]</a> The Kennedy Center then argued that the DCZC had not properly considered its objections, and should delay its approval pending further hearings.<a href="#cite_note-RulingDueSoon-93">[92]</a> The District's legal counsel disagreed, giving the DCZC the go-ahead to reaffirm (or not) its approval ruling,<a href="#cite_note-RulingDueSoon-93">[92]</a> which the Zoning Commission did on November 30, 1967.<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a>

Although it appeared that SGI was winning the legal battle over the fifth building, D.C. city planners attempted to mediate the dispute between the Kennedy Center and the Watergate and achieve a contractual rather than legal solution. Three separate proposals were made to both sides on December 7, 1967.<a href="#cite_note-95">[94]</a> On April 22, 1968, SGI agreed to turn its fifth building slightly to the southwest in order to open up the Watergate complex a little more and give the Kennedy Center a bit of open space.<a href="#cite_note-96">[95]</a> Although the Kennedy Center accepted the proposal, it demanded that the fifth building include apartment units, rather than be completely devoted to office space, to maintain the area's residential nature.<a href="#cite_note-Compromise-97">[96]</a> The fight now moved to the NCPC. In June 1968, the NCPC held a hearing at which more than 150 Watergate apartment residents clashed with SGI officials over the nature of the final building.<a href="#cite_note-98">[97]</a> On August 8, 1968, SGI and the Kennedy Center reached a resolution, agreeing that only 25 percent of the fifth building's 1.7 million square feet (160,000 m2) would be used as office space and that the remaining space would become apartment units.<a href="#cite_note-Compromise-97">[96]</a> The NCPC approved the revised plan in November 1968, and the DCZC did so five weeks later, specifically zoning the building for nonprofit and professional use only.<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a>

The fifth building was completed in January 1971.<a href="#cite_note-Wheeler-21">[21]</a> Its first tenant was the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which secured occupancy in February 1971, and its first major tenant was the Manpower Evaluation and Development Institute, which leased the entire eighth floor.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> In October 1972, several high-end fashion boutiques, jewelers, and a restaurant opened in a retail space named "Les Champs".<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a>

The total cost of the project was $78 million.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Critical_reception">Critical reception</h3></div>

The Watergate's initial reception was poor, but the complex soon became recognized as one of D.C.'s finest examples of modern architecture. When models of the Watergate were unveiled in 1961, critics said the structure "would ruin the waterfront".<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> Other critics denounced it as "nonconforming" and decried it as "Antipasto on the Potomac".<a href="#cite_note-Isaacs-59">[58]</a> As noted above, many individuals also felt the complex blocked views of the Potomac River, tended to overshadow nearby monuments and other buildings, and consumed too much open space. Some residents even felt the construction of the units was substandard.<a href="#cite_note-Titanic-101">[100]</a> Architectural critics called the detailing "clunky".<a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a>

The <a href="Washington_Star" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Star">Washington Star</a> newspaper, however, was an early proponent of the Watergate. In May 1962, it editorialized: "It is true that the so-called 'curvilinear' design is at variance with most commercial architecture in Washington. But in our opinion the result, which places a premium on public open space and garden-like surroundings, and which proposes a quality of housing that would rank with the finest in the city, would be a distinct asset."<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> The curving design has continued to draw praise. A noted 2006 guidebook to the city's architecture concluded that the Watergate brought a "welcome fluidity" to the city's boxy look.<a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a> Others praised the complex's internal public spaces. When the Watergate East opened in 1965, The Washington Post called these areas opulent and evocative of the best in Italian design.<a href="#cite_note-102">[101]</a> The New York Times characterized the design as "sweeping", and complimented each building's spectacular views of the Potomac River, Virginia skyline, and monuments.<a href="#cite_note-NewHotel-41">[41]</a> Many residents later said the flowing lines reminded them of a graceful ship.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Watergate_II">Watergate II</h3></div>

In 1970, as the Watergate was nearing completion, SGI proposed building a "Watergate II" apartment, hotel, and office complex on the waterfront in <a href="Alexandria%2C_Virginia" title="Alexandria, Virginia">Alexandria, Virginia</a>, several miles down the Potomac River from the original Watergate.<a href="#cite_note-103">[102]</a> Although the project initially received support from Alexandria city officials and business people, residents of the city's <a href="List_of_neighborhoods_in_Alexandria%2C_Virginia" class="mw-redirect" title="List of neighborhoods in Alexandria, Virginia">Old Town</a> strongly objected.<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-Swap-106">[105]</a> The project stalled for two years due to protests from residents and a land dispute regarding title to the waterfront land on which the project was to be sited.<a href="#cite_note-Swap-106">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-WillmanSecurity-107">[106]</a>

The Watergate II project was eventually abandoned in favor of a much larger complex near <a href="Landmark_Mall" title="Landmark Mall">Landmark Mall</a> in Alexandria (a site nowhere near water).<a href="#cite_note-WillmanSecurity-107">[106]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Watergate_buildings">Watergate buildings</h2></div>

The entire Watergate complex was initially owned by Watergate Improvements, Inc., a division of SGI.<a href="#cite_note-WillmanShudders-40">[40]</a> In 1969, the Vatican sold its interest in SGI and no longer was part-owner of the Watergate.<a href="#cite_note-108">[107]</a> Although the Watergate was considered one of the most glamorous residences in the city, as early as 1970 residents and businesses complained of substandard construction, including a leaking roof and poor plumbing and wiring.<a href="#cite_note-Titanic-101">[100]</a>

The three Watergate Apartment buildings have a total of about 600 residential units.<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a> Notable occupants over time have included: <a href="Alfred_S._Bloomingdale" title="Alfred S.

The Watergate complex changed hands in the 1970s, and each building was sold off separately in the 1990s and 2000s (decade) (see below). Strict lease agreements, however, have kept the apartment buildings in residents' hands: In the Watergate South, for example, owners cannot rent their unit until a full year has passed, and no lease may last more than two years.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> In 1977, one of the Watergate's financiers (Nicholas Salgo) and Continental Illinois Properties bought SGI's stake in the development for $49 million.<a href="#cite_note-147">[146]</a><a href="#cite_note-148">[147]</a> Two years later, Continental Illinois sold its interest to the <a href="National_Coal_Board" title="National Coal Board">National Coal Board</a> Pension Fund in the U.K.<a href="#cite_note-149">[148]</a> Salgo did the same in 1986.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a> The coal board pension fund put the Watergate complex up for sale in 1989, and estimated the complex's worth at between $70 million and $100 million.<a href="#cite_note-Haggerty-9">[9]</a> Several buildings were sold in the 1990s (for details, see below).<a href="#cite_note-Haggerty-9">[9]</a> The property was valued at $278 million in 1991.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> Efficiency units in that year sold for $95,000, while penthouse apartments went for $1 million or more.<a href="#cite_note-Sanchez-6">[6]</a> Various buildings were sold again in the early 2000s (decade).<a href="#cite_note-Sale-10">[10]</a> In 2005, all of the retail space in the complex was put up for sale.<a href="#cite_note-Hedgpeth-3">[3]</a>

The Watergate East apartment building is probably the second-best known of the five buildings in the development. It became the most sought-after living location in the city when it opened in 1966.<a href="#cite_note-MacPhersonStatus-2">[2]</a>

Problems with the building's construction became apparent shortly after its occupancy. The roof was leaking by 1968.<a href="#cite_note-Blackmail-151">[150]</a> In October 1968, <a href="The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a> published reports that SGI refused to fix the leaks unless residents dropped their opposition to the construction of the complex's fifth building.<a href="#cite_note-Blackmail-151">[150]</a> By 1970, problems at Watergate East led the press to dub the building the "Potomac Titanic",<a href="#cite_note-Titanic-101">[100]</a> and its residents filed suit against the developer in 1971 to correct the structure's problems.<a href="#cite_note-InPlace-78">[77]</a> Another lawsuit, filed in February 1970, sought exclusive access to the underground parking garage the cooperative claimed as its own, and demanded that the developer stop selling spaces in the residents' parking area.<a href="#cite_note-InPlace-78">[77]</a> SGI filed a $4 million counterclaim alleging "malicious embarrassment" and five years later paid residents $600,000 to settle the cases.<a href="#cite_note-Livingston-8">[8]</a>

The Watergate East was also the site of a major protest in 1970. In the weeks before the jury verdict in the Chicago, Illinois, trial of the <a href="Chicago_Seven" title="Chicago Seven">Chicago Seven</a>, political activists began planning and then advertising that a protest would occur at the home of <a href="United_States_Attorney_General" title="United States Attorney General">United States Attorney General</a> John N.

The Watergate Hotel and Office Building is one of the five buildings in the Watergate development.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Watergate_Hotel">Watergate Hotel</h4></div>

Management and ownership of the hotel have changed several times since the mid-1980s. In 1986, <a href="Cunard_Line" title="Cunard Line">Cunard Line</a>, the cruise ship company, took over management of the hotel and began redecorating and refurbishing it.<a href="#cite_note-158">[157]</a> The British Coal Board pension fund sold the hotel portion of the building to a British-Japanese consortium in 1990 for $48 million.<a href="#cite_note-Haggerty-9">[9]</a> Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, the real estate affiliate of the <a href="Blackstone_Group" class="mw-redirect" title="Blackstone Group">Blackstone Group</a>, bought the hotel for $39 million in July 1998.<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a> For a few years in the late 1990s and early 2000s (decade), the Watergate Hotel was operated by the <a href="Swiss%C3%B4tel" title="Swissôtel">Swissôtel</a> hotel group.<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a> But the hotel underperformed other Swissôtel operations of similar size, location, and price.<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a> <a href="Jean-Louis_Palladin" title="Jean-Louis Palladin">Jean-Louis Palladin</a>'s <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eponym" class="extiw external" title="wikt:eponym">eponymous</a> restaurant in the building closed in 1996.<a href="#cite_note-EislerBait-114">[113]</a><a href="#cite_note-159">[158]</a> The hotel subsequently underwent a renovation in 2000.<a href="#cite_note-AIAGuide-28">[28]</a> Swissôtel was purchased by <a href="Raffles_Hotels_and_Resorts" class="mw-redirect" title="Raffles Hotels and Resorts">Raffles Hotels and Resorts</a>, and Raffles' management contract ended in May 2002.<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a>

Blackstone began managing the hotel, and put it up for sale in the fall of 2002 (with an asking price of $50 million to $68 million).<a href="#cite_note-Cube1-42">[42]</a> Monument Realty bought the hotel for $45 million in 2004 and planned to turn it into luxury apartment co-ops.<a href="#cite_note-Rein-160">[159]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a> But many residents in other parts of the complex (some of whom owned the 25 percent of the hotel not sold to Blackstone)<a href="#cite_note-EislerBait-114">[113]</a> argued that a hotel would better enhance the livability of the area and challenged the conversion in court.<a href="#cite_note-162">[161]</a><a href="#cite_note-Lengel-163">[162]</a> The hotel closed on August 1, 2007, for a $170 million 18-month renovation, during which the hotel rooms were intended to be roughly doubled in size to 650 square feet (60 m2).<a href="#cite_note-Lengel-163">[162]</a> But the renovation never occurred, and the building sat empty—consuming $100,000 to $150,000 a month in security, heating, electricity, water, and other costs.<a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a> Lehman Brothers, Monument Realty's financing partner, went bankrupt in 2008 and Monument was forced to attempt to sell the property.<a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a> No buyer emerged and the Blackstone Group regained ownership of the hotel.<a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a>

The Blackstone Group transferred the Watergate Hotel to its Trizec Properties subsidiary. Trizec did not pay the hotel's property taxes for 2008 (which amounted to $250,000), and estimated that it would take $100 million to make the hotel habitable due to the stalled 2007 renovation.<a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a> The hotel was put on the market in May 2009, but once again no buyer emerged. The hotel was auctioned off on July 21, 2009 (with the minimum bid beginning at $25 million), but there were no buyers and <a href="Deutsche_Postbank" title="Deutsche Postbank">Deutsche Postbank</a>, which held the $40 million mortgage on the property, took over ownership.<a href="#cite_note-Rein-160">[159]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wilted-161">[160]</a> The bank began marketing the property for sale, and Monument Realty submitted a bid in October 2009 to buy the hotel back.<a href="#cite_note-ReinBuyBack-164">[163]</a> Monument was outbid by developer Robert Holland and the <a href="Jumeirah_(hotel_chain)" title="Jumeirah (hotel chain)">Jumeirah Group</a> (a luxury hotel chain based in <a href="Dubai" title="Dubai">Dubai</a>), but the deal collapsed in November 2009 when financing fell through.<a href="#cite_note-ReinBuyBack-164">[163]</a> Euro Capital Properties purchased the hotel in May 2010 for $45 million, with plans to rehabilitate it over the next two years.<a href="#cite_note-165">[164]</a>

Euro Capital announced its year-long, $85 million renovation of the hotel in January 2013. Among the improvements it wished to make were the addition of six outdoor "summer gardens" where liquor may be served. The plan would require the approval of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission, which voted to protest the liquor licenses unless the company reached an agreement with all the tenant associations in the Watergate cooperative.<a href="#cite_note-166">[165]</a> A year later, the company said its design team, led by the architectural firm <a href="BBGM" title="BBGM">BBGM</a>, had completed a plan to increase the number of luxury hotel rooms from 251 to 348, renovate the lobby to add a bar and lounge, add a restaurant with some outdoor seating, and add a rooftop bar with a small water feature. Euro Capital also said it would seek a hotel management company to continue to operate the Watergate Hotel as an independent hotel. Construction on the new interior elements was planned to start in March 2014.<a href="#cite_note-167">[166]</a>

Euro Capital received the construction permits for its now $100 million renovation in May 2014. Architect Bahram Kamali of BBGM said the renovation would completely replace the electrical, <a href="HVAC" class="mw-redirect" title="HVAC">HVAC</a>, mechanical, and plumbing (fresh water and sewage) systems. The renovation now featured two new restaurants, upgraded ballrooms, and a new spa and fitness area.<a href="#cite_note-grunelytapped-168">[167]</a> The meeting space, which was quite small by industry standards, was expanded to 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2), and the <a href="Ballroom" title="Ballroom">ballroom</a> enlarged slightly to 7,000 square feet (650 m2). Watergate officials said the new rooftop bar will seat 350, and other internal structural changes will add nearly 100 guest rooms.<a href="#cite_note-reopenhotel-169">[168]</a> Kamali said the interior would feature expensive, high-quality plaster, stone, and wood finishes, but the exterior's iconic textured concrete balconies would remain unchanged except for repairs, repainting, and new windows. Grunley Construction would oversee all the renovations.<a href="#cite_note-grunelytapped-168">[167]</a> Israeli artist and interior decorator <a href="Ron_Arad_(industrial_designer)" title="Ron Arad (industrial designer)">Ron Arad</a> designed all the metal sculptures and other work that would be featured in the hotels' bar, lobby, and other interior space.<a href="#cite_note-reopenhotel-169">[168]</a>

The cost of the renovation was pegged by Euro Capital at $125 million in November 2014. The 336-room hotel reopened in 2016, nine years after it had closed.<a href="#cite_note-170">[169]</a>
