Darian LeBlanc
Executive Vice Chair at Cushman & Wakefield
Darian LeBlanc is listed as a top 100 performer at Cushman & Wakefield overall and a leading performer in the D.C. region. His specialty is government leasing, and he’s handled some of the largest and most impactful government deals in the District over the course of his career.
Over the last decade, LeBlanc has facilitated the General Service Administration’s 471,499-square-foot lease at 400 7th Street SW; the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ 241,398-square-foot lease at 425 I Street; and the District of Columbia’s 205,860-square-foot lease at 899 North Capitol Street.
The past year has been just as busy. LeBlanc and his team completed leases with U.S. Courts at 1401 H Street NW; the Federal Maritime Commission at 800 North Capitol Street NW; the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services at 999 North Capitol Street; and the Department of Homeland Security at 70 Kimball Avenue in South Burlington, Vt.
“In this environment, every deal is most notable and the ability to deliver any lease, regardless of size, is notable and valuable to our clients,” LeBlanc said. “I am so proud of my team — Scott Johnston, Scott Killie, Howard Traul, Austin Sanders, Liz Cumberpatch and Robert England. These are the people that truly make great things happen for our clients and for myself.”
In February 2020, his team went remote, but stayed with heads down and focused on what was possible, LeBlanc said.
“By 2022, our team was operating under a functioning new normal where some of us are back in the office full time and some are still working remotely,” LeBlanc said. “The name of the game in CRE for 2022 will be getting as many people back to the office as possible and allowing organizations to make decisions and map their future needs. For me, I’m going to continue embracing my clients, and work to advance their goals and improve their assets.”
