What the announcement said about the lease deal
In the March 6, 2012 announcement reprinted by EIN Presswire, the ABA stated that it “has entered into a 15-year lease” for space at 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW in Washington, D.C., with Washington Square Limited Partnership, LLP.
Leased premises and space figures described in 2012
The announcement said ABA would occupy 61,000 square feet of the 707,000-square-foot building at 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW, and it also described the location as having a floor plate of approximately 55,000 square feet.
The lease was tied to a prior ABA sale
The announcement presented the 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW lease as following a Dec. 16, 2011 sale of ABA’s historic 175,000-square-foot building at 740 15th St. NW in Washington, D.C.
Approval process and broker roles described in the announcement
The announcement said ABA staff and leadership, together with Studley brokers, spent nearly a year reviewing dozens of properties for lease or purchase before the ABA Board of Governors approved the competitive, long-term lease at 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW, and it said Studley negotiated both the sale of the ABA building and the new lease.
Space planning and consolidation details stated for the new location
The announcement said ABA staff was spread over seven floors in its current facility at the time of the announcement and that the new 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW space would “house all 250” of the ABA’s D.C.-based staff on one floor.
