Law firm Michael Best Takes 30,000 SF at The Wharf
Another law firm, Fish & Richardson PC, is occupying 60,000 square feet in the building.
WASHINGTON, DC—Michael Best & Friedrich LLP is relocating its offices in Washington DC to take 30,404-square-feet at 1000 Maine at The Wharf. The building already has one law firm—Fish & Richardson PC, which is occupying 60,000 square feet.
Ben Plaisted, Greg Scheipers and Mordecai Scott of Savills Studley’s DC office represented the tenant in negotiations.
“Newly constructed properties continue to be in high demand for law firms considering a move,” said Scheipers. “With its close proximity to Capitol Hill, prominent waterfront location and modern amenities, The Wharf provides an ideal new home.”
Michael Best’s new office will bring its DC legal practice and the firm’s government relations and public affairs consulting group, Michael Best Strategies, under one roof.
1000 Maine at The Wharf is an 11-story trophy property with such amenities as a fitness center, 9,000-square-foot rooftop terrace, conference facility and event space. The landlord is represented by Brian Dawson and Amy Bowser of JLL.
