Tenants of a luxury apartment building blocks from the White House were furious this week after they discovered the building's management company fired all front desk workers and replaced them with Amazon delivery lockers.
Journalist Samuel Breslow of the media outlet The Forward wrote on X about tenants of CityCenterDC, a mixed-use development consisting of two condominium buildings, two rental apartment buildings, two office buildings, and a luxury hotel, on 10th St NW, or about a five-minute walk to the White House, "protested the surprise decision to fire front desk staff, replacing them with Amazon delivery lockers."
The building described the move to replace human workers with Amazon lockers as a "technology advancement aimed at enriching your stay."
Apartments.com shows that CityCenterDC's rent ranges from $2,500 a month for a studio to $15,300 for a luxury apartment.
On Instagram, user washingtonianprobs posted Breslow's story. Folks there weren't thrilled:
