WC Smith has finished construction on the new headquarters of the D.C. Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

The development company broke ground on the project in January 2019 and reached substantial completion of the core and shell in September 2020. WC Smith tapped HITT as the general contractor, while Hickok Cole was in charge of the building design and Studios was tasked with designing the amenities. The architects from Hickok Cole were also responsible for the design of an $18 million renovation<\/a> for a 485,000-square-foot office also in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

As for the DDOT headquarters, WC Smith developed a nine-story building that offers 180,000 square feet of office space, 6,600 square feet of retail, a smaller space for the DDOT\u2019s Commuter Store and a three-story underground garage. The building\u2019s core and shell have earned LEED Gold certification and feature sustainable elements such as a green roof, roof terrace, 125 electric car charging stations and a bike storage room. The building\u2019s other amenities include a fitness center, conference space, and wellness and mothers\u2019 rooms.<\/p>\n

Down the road for DDOT<\/h2>\n

Located at 250 M St. SE, the DDOT\u2019s new headquarters will be located across the street from the U.S. Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C.\u2019s Capitol Riverfront neighborhood. A spokesperson for WC Smith told Commercial Property Executive<\/em> that the agency will be moving into its new headquarters over the course of this month.<\/p>\n

DDOT is moving from its previous headquarters less than 1 mile away at 55 M St. SE. The WC Smith spokesperson also told CPE<\/em> that the DDOT\u2019s lease at the property was expiring and had a need for more room due to the agency\u2019s expansion. The spokesperson also told CPE<\/em> that WC Smith worked closely with officials from DDOT and the district\u2019s Department of General Services to design the building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
