International law firm Buckley Sandler has signed a 13-year lease for 65,500 square feet at 2001 M Street NW in Washington D.C.’s Golden Triangle neighborhood, according to a press release from Brookfield Properties, the property’s owner.
“We’re excited to be moving to 2001 M Street, an outstanding building with first-class ownership and management,” John Kromer, a co-managing partner at Buckley Sandler, said in the release. “The building was a clear first choice for us in our search for a new D.C. home, and we look forward to taking this important step that will benefit our team and our clients.”
The firm is moving from a 51,212 foot space at 1250 24th Street NW, where former President Barack Obama signed a lease for his post-presidency office in 2016.
The 10-story, 364,000-square-foot building’s amenities include a landscaped rooftop terrace and lounge with views of the Washington Monument and National Cathedral, a fitness center with a yoga room and Peloton bikes, a Full Swing golf simulator and putting green with a viewing lounge and a secure bike room with lockers, per the release. The building is home to several other law firms such as Bracewell, Wilkinson Walsh Eskovitz and Weil Gotshal & Manges.
Buckley Sandler will add to “the esteemed roster” at 2001 M Street, “an asset Brookfield is proud to have in its commercial portfolio,” Greg Meyer, an executive vice president at Brookfield, said in a prepared statement. Meyer, along with Brookfield’s Melanie Stehmer-Townsend represented the firm in the deal.
Rob Copito and Harry Stephens of CBRE represented Buckley Sandler in the deal. A CBRE spokeswoman told Commercial Observer that the deal closed on Oct.10, and declined to disclose the asking rent.
