Law firm Zuckerman Spaeder has announced it will be leasing 41,000 square feet at 2100 L St. NW — a new trophy office space in Washington, D.C.’s central business district. The company is scheduled to relocate its 90-strong team of attorneys and professional staff in the opening months of 2025 upon the building’s completion.
The move marks a reduction in the company’s footprint in the city as Zuckerman’s previous headquarters was located at 1800 M St., where it had occupied roughly 52,000 square feet for nearly two decades.
An Avison Young team comprised of Bruce McNair, Will Travis, Laura Peterson and Jenna Berk represented the tenant. Meanwhile, Ben Meisel, Will Pace, and McKay Elliott of Akridge handled the negotiations in house for the owner — a partnership consisting of Akridge, Corporate Office Properties Trust and Argos Group.
Located at the corner of L Street and 21st Street in NW in the nation’s capital, the 10-story office tower has already collected awards for its amenities and best retail space project. Totaling 190,000 square feet, 2100 L St. NW provides tenants with a wide range of top-notch amenities, such as the rooftop terrace that opens up to breathtaking views of the city skyline; an art gallery; and an outdoor park, along with easy access to public transportation options, such as the nearby Metro lines.
“We look forward to making 2100 L our firm’s future DC home,” said Zuckerman Spaeder co-chairs, Dwight Bostwick and Caroline Mehta. “Many aspects of the building are ideal for designing an office that enhances our clients’ experience and preserves our collaborative and connected culture.”
“In the fast-paced world of real estate decisions, the ‘flight to quality’ continues to be a prominent factor,” Peterson said. “And this strategic relocation not only results in a modern, highly amenitized office space, but also provides our client a significant annual rent savings, as well as a substantial increase in workspace efficiency.”
Zuckerman will be joining a tenant roster that also includes the likes of venture capital group Updata Partners — which is set to occupy 5,100 square feet on the fifth floor — and another law firm and the building’s anchor tenant, Morrison & Foerster LLP, which will move into floors six through 10.
