WASHINGTON DC – Newmark Knight Frank has completed the sale of the McPherson Building in Washington DC, on behalf of an undisclosed client. The 12-story building was purchased by Northwestern Mutual in a $209 million transaction.
This was the first time the 255,968-square-foot building had been brought to market in 24 years.
Situated on the corner of 15th Street and Eye Street, at 901 15th Street, NW, the property anchors McPherson Square; located across from McPherson Square Park and a block away from the White House and US Treasury building.
The building recently underwent a more than $30 million, trophy-level renovation project. The renovation entailed an updated two-story lobby, fitness center and bike room, and new common areas, elevators and restrooms. The property also features a three-level parking garage situated beneath the building.
