I have a soft spot for The Whitman, an expensive condo complex built in 2006 that I've walked by on every recent D.C. visit. It seems to have been intended as straightforwardly neotraditional, but it comes across as similar to monumental trope-reinterprative PoMo from 20 years earlier.

An approximately ten story building with a very ornamented stone and brick facade on the bottom half, and a set-back upper facade terminating in brick columns that stick up past the roof
A view of one portion of the lower facade shows sculpted curved column tops extending outward from the building's walls
