Ogilvy Settles Into New 40,000-SF Home

WASHINGTON, DC-Two months after news emerged of its signing of a long-term lease, Ogilvy Public Relations has relocated to its new 40,000-sf locale in the 252,000-sf office building at 1111 19th St. The global marketing communications firm, having made its home around the corner at 1901 L St. for the last 24 years, decided to make the move in an effort to accommodate company growth and services.

“It gives us the flexibility and facilities we need to better serve our clients and meet the needs of increasingly integrated account and creative teams,” Ogilvy Washington office managing director Robert F. Mathias says. Situated in the city’s central business district about five blocks northeast of George Washington University and five blocks northwest of the White House, the class A office facility at 1111 19th St.– is jointly owned Equity Office Properties and TIAA-CREF–was developed in 1979 and underwent a renovation in 1995.
