DIA, VeriSign Deals Take 744,808 SF in Reston

RESTON, VA-Two deals inked here have taken 744,808 square feet off the market in recent days. The most recent transaction is a 523,482-square-foot lease by the Defense Intelligence Agency at Boston Properties’ Patriots Park here. Cassidy Turley’s Darian LeBlanc, Scott Killie, Allison Berry and Bisa Delgado represented Boston Properties. T.C. Hairston and Terry Reid at the GSA represented the government along with the CB Richard Ellis team of Henry Chapman and Leroy Battle.

When all was said and done, the 20-year deal closed at the mid $30s per square foot, LeBlanc tells GlobeSt.com. This lease had been out on the market for close to two years, he adds. The government agency selected this location because it met the new anti-terrorism building standards requirements and because of its proximity to the future Reston metro line.
