168,000 SF OFFICE BUILDING BREAKS GROUND IN D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Akridge and Mitsui Fudosan American have broken ground on a 168,000-square-foot office building at 1200 17th St. in Washington, D.C. The 11-story property will house Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLC, one of D.C.'s largest law firms. In late January, the firms signed a lease to occupy 105,000 square feet of the new building. The office building will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, a green roof and ground-floor retail. The project is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2014.
