AICPA Stays Put at the Willard

WASHINGTON, DC-Having shopped the office market in the District and environs for other options, the American Institutive of Certified Public Accountants has renewed its commitment to the Willard Office Building, its current headquarters at 1455 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. AICPA will relocate to a different floor of the 243,000-sf property, taking on a 17,600-sf space that is of similar size to its current space, but reconfigured to better accommodate the organization’s needs.

AICPA relied on the representation of Cresa Partners’ Gene Sachs and Aaron Pomerantz in its search for space as well as in negotiations with building owner CarrAmerica, which was represented internally by Amy Kaufman. “After evaluating both downtown DC and suburban Virginia opportunities, it was determined by the AICPA that remaining at the Willard presented the best solution which provided a reduction in their facility costs despite staying in the Willard Office Building,” says Sachs.
