Called the Suffolk Building, the seven-story office, located at 5611 Columbia Pike, was fully renovated in 2001-2002, with additional security upgrades made in 2005 and 2008. It is one of the few buildings inside the Beltway that comply with many of the federal government's security standards, Dilks tells GlobeSt.com. Asking rate for the space was $30 per square foot.

Like many brokers in the DC area, Dilks is seeing an uptick in activity in recent weeks. In his case, though, that means activity in the government sector. "We are definitely seeing more interest from government agencies in Northern Virginia--particularly for buildings that offer high security and superior set-backs."
