GSA Inks 288,255-SF NoMA Lease

WASHINGTON, DC-The lease is a temporary one, but still welcome to the submarket.

By Erika Morphy | Updated on November 25, 2009

WASHINGTON, DC-GSA has turned to a developer and building with whom it is familiar to temporarily house 1,200 federal workers while its headquarters is renovated. The agency has inked a 288,255-square-foot lease at One Constitution Sq. with Stonebridge Carras, while renovations at 1800 F St. are underway.

It is one of the largest leases in the DC market this year, Stephen R. Leeds, GSA Senior Sustainability Officer, noted in a prepared statement. Design work for the temporary headquarters will begin later this month with the actual move expected in Spring 2011. GSA did not return a call to GlobeSt.com in time for publication.

The federal government needed no introduction to the building; the Department of Justice will be the anchor in phase one–or Two Constitution Sq.–of the huge 1.6-million-squarefoot mixed-use project underway in NoMa. Also included in phase one is 79,200 square feet of retail space, anchored by a 50,000-square-foot Harris Teeter grocery store and accompanied by recently inked 20,000 square feet of restaurants and other stores for DOJ workers; 440 apartments; a 204-room Hilton Garden Inn; and a second office building with 340,000 square feet.
