And now a soon-to-open D.C. apartment building has a novel amenity to attract deep-pocketed millennials: a waiting room for those using ride-hailing services. And, yes, there’s a room where people can hang out while they wait for their Uber, Lyft or other car service to arrive. Bous said that referring to it as an Uber Waiting Room is just a friendly moniker, and the room is meant to serve residents waiting for all sorts of car services and rides. At about 260 square feet, the ride-hailing room will be smaller and have its own entrance from outside the building. There will be couches, a TV to watch the news and an outside view where people can spot their Uber car pulling up.
