Nixon & Vanderhye — a law firm with global reach and specializing in intellectual property — has signed a new, long-term lease for 26,000 square feet of office space at Arlington Gateway, a Piedmont Office Realty Trust building in Arlington, Va. The new agreement will lead to a reduction in the firm’s footprint at the property, as well as trim its associated costs.
The tenant was represented by a Savills team that included Wendy Feldman Block, David Cornbrooks, Steve London, Ken Biberaj, Danielle Ferrari and Johanna Rodriguez. Avison Young’s Nick Gregorios led the negotiations on behalf of the landlord.
“After a period in which we toured the market and explored several relocation alternatives, Savills negotiated a package that allowed Nixon & Vanderhye to remain located across one of the top floors of 901 N. Glebe Road,” said Wendy Feldman Block. “In this climate, we want to ensure that every client need is met, even when they stay in place. Working with our workplace strategy team, we presented and capitalized on an opportunity to seamlessly reimagine the law firm’s workspace, while maintaining its presence in the heart of Arlington.”
“We are excited to be able to continue servicing our clients across the globe well into the future from this bustling Arlington neighborhood,” said Rob Barnas, firm administrator at Nixon and Vanderhye.
The property is located at 901 N. Glebe Road in the city’s Ballston neighborhood and features 334,000 square feet of prime Arlington, Va., office space. The building is certified LEED Gold, Energy Star and BOMA 360, and has also achieved the WELL Health Safety rating.
Built in 2005, Arlington Gateway was acquired by its current owner in 2013 for $175.6 million. The 12-story building — located near Ballston Metro and the Ballston Quarter shopping mall — is undergoing a renovation to upgrade its existing amenities, as well as to add a conference facility and cardio room on-site.
