(April 5, 2017) Washington, D.C. — Lincoln Property Company, a leading full service real estate services provider in the U.S., along with Pearlmark announce a new trophy office development, 699 14th Street, NW. The development will incorporate the existing historic banking hall that was last occupied by the National Bank of Washington. The asset was acquired in a joint venture and Lincoln has been retained for development, leasing, and management services.
The project site, located a block and a half from the White House, is advantageously situated on one of Washington D.C.’s premier corners, 14th and G Streets, NW, and will deliver a unique 157,000 sf building to its East End neighborhood. The project is comprised of the existing historic landmark building known as the National Bank of Washington and will be combined with a brand new office tower on G Street, NW creating 135,000 sf trophy office space and over 25,000 sf of highly sought-after retail space. The joining of the old and new buildings will create an extraordinary D.C. experience for visitors and tenants.
The redevelopment and construction of this property, which sat dormant for the last 26 years, will begin by 4Q 2017 and will restore the features of the National Bank of Washington building to its historic charm while redeveloping it to become the building’s main lobby along with planned building amenities. The new building will offer top-quality, state-of-the-art architecture and efficiencies to create a trophy-class experience. 699 Fourteenth is scheduled to deliver 4Q 2019.
“Lincoln Property Company, in conjunction with Pearlmark, is thrilled to offer best-in-class development and leasing of one of the East End’s few remaining ground-up development sites. With 699 14th Street’s proximity to the White House and the historic nature of the site, this is truly a once in a generation opportunity for all involved including its prospective tenants” said Brandon Ernst, Senior Executive Vice President of Lincoln’s D.C. Region, “this project will dramatically improve the quality of the neighborhood”.
Matt Haley and Ryan Kruzel were the lead executives on the transaction for Pearlmark who made the investment on behalf of a separate account. Mr. Kruzel stated, “We are excited to have acquired 699 14th Street NW and look forward to developing a top-tier office building in an irreplaceable location with our partner, Lincoln Property Company.”
Lincoln Property Company’s D.C. team of John Marvin Jones and Adam Biberaj will handle office leasing. Joe Falcone of Lincoln’s retail group will focus on the retail leasing efforts. Shalom Baranes Associates, the building architect and Goulston & Storrs, zoning counsel, were instrumental in achieving approvals from both the Historic Preservation Review Board as well as the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
