Rumors regarding WC&P's plans to double its workspace began circling the real estate industry late last year. Real estate services firm Julien J. Studley orchestrated the transaction on behalf of WC&P.

The firm currently operates from two offices in the Washington, DC region. Lawyers work from the firm's space in the District's Foggy Bottom area at 2445 M St, and at a Tysons Blvd. locale in McLean, VA. With the new lease signings, WC&P will expand to a new building that will sit at 1875 Pennsylvania Ave., space in an existing structure at 1801 Pennsylvania Ave., and in the building at 1899 Pennsylvania Ave.

DRI Partners owns the latter property, which it acquired in 2001 for nearly $34 million. The building is currently valued at about $40.7 million. District assessment records for 1801 Pennsylvania, which is owned by Mark Winkler Co., are not available. Leasing rates for class A space in both buildings start at about $45 per-sf.
