WASHINGTON, DC. – October 10, 2017 – DivcoWest has completed the purchase of 1133 15th Street NW, an approximately 213,000 square foot office building located on the border of the CBD and East End submarkets of the nation’s capital.
The 12-story building, which sits across from Midtown Center, the future headquarters of Fannie Mae, is currently approximately 90 percent leased to a diversified group of tenants.
“The area that surrounds 1133 15th Street is experiencing a resurgence of commercial activity thanks to an influx of creative tenants and the emergence of a vibrant live-work-play environment. We believe this asset is particularly well positioned to attract a broad range of tenants, especially creative and innovation companies, given the surrounding amenity base, access to public transportation and proximity to popular residential neighborhoods,” said Ryan Friend, Senior Director, Acquisitions at DivcoWest.
1133 15th Street received Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating system in 2011. The building provides tenants with underground parking and an amenity package that includes a conference facility, fitness center and on-site deli. DivcoWest plans to initiate a capital improvement program designed to further upgrade the building lobby and common areas.
