WASHINGTON, DC—Fannie Mae, which reportedly was looking to consolidate its headquarters operations to 555 12th St. NW, is now in serious talks with development firm Carr Properties to move its headquarters into a new office building planned by Carr at the corner of 15th and L Streets Northwest.
The new offices are to be part of a new mixed-use development Carr intends to build in place of the current headquarters of The Washington Post, which is moving to new offices in early 2016 on K Street.
A Fannie Mae spokesman said the organization has not yet signed a lease but that it is near the end of its office search. “As we continue this process, we remain focused on making responsible real estate decisions that will use resources wisely, ensure the safety and soundness of Fannie Mae's operations, and give us the flexibility to adapt to changes in our future workplace needs,” the statement said.
Recent reports state that Fannie Mae was close to deciding to move to the 12th Street building, which Arnold & Porter is vacating in October. See story in the Washington Post.
