DC News: And 20,000 extra square feet seems pretty smart in their world




Arent Fox inks deal for 1000 Connecticut Ave. NW
"In the largest private-tenant lease so far this year, law firm Arent Fox LLP announced today it will move its 264 D.C. lawyers one building over from its current office, becoming the lead tenant in the new building planned for Connecticut and K streets NW.
After its current lease expires in 2012, the firm will take 255,000 square feet -- eight floors -- in the Pei Cobb Freed & Partners-designed building slated for 1000 Connecticut Ave. NW. The prominent downtown corner currently hosts a quickly shrinking core of old floor slabs and center columns as demolition of the existing building proceeds.
Arent Fox signed a 17-year lease and will move from Washington Square, 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW, where it now occupies 235,000 square feet. The new lease represents a net gain of 20,000 square feet."
