O’Melveny & Myers has signed a 15-year renewal for roughly 100,000 square feet at 1625 Eye Street NW in Washington, D.C., as the building’s new ownership group sets up a substantial renovation.
The global law firm has been at the 405,000-square-foot building since 2003 and occupies the top three floors as its largest tenant.
GreenBarn Investment Group, FarmView Ventures and capital partner Farallon Capital acquired the property in 2025. The building sits two blocks north of the White House, and includes a nine-story atrium and 425-space parking garage.
“We have known this asset for many years and have always believed in the quality of the building, its irreplaceable location and its long-term potential,” John Wolf, FarmView founder and managing partner, said in a statement.
The renewal comes as Washington’s office market remains divided between older properties and higher-quality buildings, and as the owners plan to reposition 1625 Eye as a higher-end workplace asset. Renovations will include a redesigned lobby, upgraded security, and retail from LDV Hospitality, including American Cut Steakhouse and an Italian café. Plans also call for a rooftop with indoor and outdoor gathering areas, a conference and event facility, and an expanded tenant fitness center.
Avison Young’s Eli Barnes, Jonathan Wellborn, Will Stern, Lauryn Harris and Macy Parana represented ownership. CBRE’s Jeff Welch and JLL’s Greg McCavera and Ella Adkins represented O’Melveny.
