WASHINGTON, DC-Arent Fox will be pulling up stakes and relocating its DC operations when its current lease expires in 2012 to a new building under development across the alley from where it now resides. Currently at Washington Square–1050 Connecticut Ave.–Arent Fox is moving to 1000 Connecticut Ave., where it will occupy 255,000-sf. “It will be the largest move in DC that doesn’t involve a moving truck,” partner Jerry Fox tells GlobeSt.com. The company plans to wheel its belongings from loading deck to loading deck across the alley on moving day.

Arent Fox will be setting up its 260-plus legal team in a 12-story, 370,000-sf, Gold LEED building that is currently under development–the existing building at that address is being demolished now to make way for the new structure–by Connecticut & K Associates, a venture led by Edward Kaplan, Albert Small, and Steven and Michael Gewirz. Arent Fox will occupy floors two through nine. The new building was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners–specifically by James Ingo Freed before his death in 2005.

Arent Fox was represented by Tom Fulcher, Art Greenberg and David Lipson and Adam Schindler of Studley. Audrey Cramer and Louis Christopher of Cushman & Wakefield were the brokers for the developer. Mark Katz, Joe Fries and Jeremy Fox of Arent Fox negotiated the lease on behalf of the firm. Legal counsel for Connecticut & K Associates was provided by C. Richard Beyda and Richard Levin of Grossberg, Yochelson, Fox & Beyda LLP. Studley declined to comment to GlobeSt.com, citing client confidentiality.
