Poland has secured a prestigious new location for its embassy in Washington, D.C. The newly acquired building, situated on Massachusetts Avenue, was previously home to Johns Hopkins University’s School of Political Science. Its proximity to key landmarks such as the White House, Capitol, and State Department highlights its strategic importance. Purchased for just over $20 million, the investment benefits from both a discounted local market and favorable currency exchange rates.
Comprehensive Facility Plans
The multi-story building will house the embassy, consulate, and military attaché offices, consolidating operations that were previously scattered across the city. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a four-year renovation plan to adapt the facility to its new purpose. This move is seen as a major step in strengthening Poland’s diplomatic presence in the United States and represents a significant investment in future bilateral relations.
