Jones Day Takes 150,000 SF in $168M Project

WASHINGTON-Jones Day will be lease 150,000 sf of the 255,000-sf 10-story office building now under construction at 300 New Jersey Ave. Developer Chevy Chase, MD-based JBG Cos. explains that the project would not have gotten underway without Jones Day’s cooperation, even though the firm is not a partner in the development.

The site which consists of an entire city block is bordered by two buildings and a parking garage used by Jones Day, which has its offices in the adjacent building at 51 Louisiana Ave., a five-story, 205,000-sf office building. “To demolish the parking garage and build on this site we needed their cooperation,” Brian Fitzgerald, managing director of leasing tells GlobeSt.com. He says Jones Day decided to move to the building in part because its space needs had outgrown the existing address.
