One of only two steel long-span office buildings in DC, 601 New Jersey Avenue is a 9-story office building that includes approximately 270K SF of office space and three levels of underground parking. The building was constructed with a composite steel frame - a somewhat uncommon framing system within the District given height restrictions - and MEP/sprinkler systems were carefully coordinated with steel beam placements to provide the necessary number of floors while maintaining a cost-effective structure. This project was developed as a public/private facility with GSA and the Federal Trade Commission, with 80% of the space pre-leased to the government before being sold to an institutional investor.
