Arent Fox to Relocate D.C. Office
May 15, 2008

Arent Fox L.L.P. has announced that it will relocate its Washington, D.C., office to 1000 Connecticut Ave. upon the expiration of its current lease in 2012. The former building at 1000 Connecticut Ave. is in the final stages of being demolished. Arent Fox will occupy approximately 255,000 square feet – floors 2 through 9 – of the 12-story, 370,500-square-foot building that will be erected on the site. The new building was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, specifically by James Ingo Freed before his death in 2005. The developer of the project is Connecticut & K Associates, L.L.C., led by Edward Kaplan, Albert Small, and Steven and Michael Gewirz. Arent Fox was represented by Tom Fulcher, Art Greenberg and David Lipson and Adam Schindler of Studley.
