National Wildlife Foundation Extends Stay at D.C.’s Metro Center
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) has renewed its lease at Metro Center, a 184,000-square-foot office building located at 1200 G St. NW in Washington, D.C., just three blocks from The White House.
In 2017, the non-profit secured a 12,910-square-foot space in the building and has now opted to extend its stay at a more favorable rate and for a longer term, according to Cresa.
“We leveraged favorable market conditions to renegotiate NWF’s lease, seizing the opportunity to deliver substantial cost savings and ensure an opportunity for growth and stability for the foreseeable future,” said Erica King, a senior vice president with Cresa.
Specific terms of the lease were not disclosed.
Since 2017, the National Wildlife Federation — the nation’s largest private, non-profit conservation education and advocacy organization — has made this building its National Advocacy Center.
The building’s proximity to Capitol Hill and other government agencies was a key factor in staying in place as it offers convenient access to stakeholders and decision-makers whom the organization deals with regularly, King added.
Representing the owner, Landow & Company, were JLL’s Evan Behr and Meghan Murray. The property was developed by Landow & Company in 1991.
Metro Center is a Class A office building that includes a fitness center, conference room and retail spaces. Other tenants in the building include counseling center Thrive; the Tax Executive Institute; and law firm McNees Wallace & Nurick.
