NeighborWorks Moves Headquarters to NoMa

Washington, D.C., January 4, 2013 – NoMa celebrates the largest lease of 2012, as NeighborWorks America signed a 64,669 SF lease at 999 North Capitol Street, NE, in December. The group, a nationally renowned housing and community development nonprofit, will move their national headquarters from 1325 G Street, NW, to the NoMa building.

“NeighborWorks, another leading edge institution to move its flagship offices to NoMa, is a wonderful addition to the NoMa neighborhood,” said NoMa Business Improvement District President Robin-Eve Jasper. “We look forward to welcoming the team from NeighborWorks to NoMa and working with them on community projects.”

The neighborhood boasts a growing media contingent including CNN, NPR, and Sirius XM, as well as a number of headquarters, such as U.S. Department of Education, D.C. Public Schools, GSA and ATF (the Headquarters of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives). Nonprofits continue to consider NoMa’s value and connection to transit as key factors in a move. NeighborWorks joins the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) and others. Mathematica, a Princeton-based think-tank, moved its DC headquarters to NoMa in 2011.

“NoMa, which has experienced such a rapid transformation into a vital mixed-used community, represents the perfect location for NeighborWorks in light of our mission,” said Eileen Fitzgerald, CEO of NeighborWorks. NeighborWorks will occupy the top floors in the northern-most building of the Union Square complex of 899 and 999 North Capitol Street, NE. The 10-year lease will commence on June 1, 2013.

David Houck and Ken Patton of the Washington office of Jones Lang LaSalle represented NeighborWorks America, and Ben Meisel and Katie Gorretta of Akridge represented the building owner.
