WASHINGTON, DC—The Meridian Group has closed on its $69 million acquisition of 1400 L St., from Mack-Cali Realty Corp., and is getting ready to embark on a $16 million renovation of the 172,453-square-foot building.
The company is preparing the building in anticipation of its largest tenant, the US Customs and Border Protection Agency, vacating the space in 2018. The government agency currently occupies about 98%.
The company will renovate the lobby, gym, conference center, outdoor deck and upgrade the retail store frontage, Bruce Lane, who is responsible for investment strategy, acquisitions, asset management, value creation, and dispositions at The Meridian Group, tells GlobeSt.com.
The building's location gives it tremendous upside, he says. “It is a corner building in a prominent location.”
