MVT: DC Bar is Moving to Mount Vernon Triangle - 901 4th Street NW

DC Bar has decided that they will move their headquarters to Mount Vernon Place, a yet to be built space at 901 4th Street NW. (Between K and I Streets NW at 4th) The DC Bar will have a total of 100k Square feet which includes 32k of retail, or office rental space. This is a great win for DC Bar, and for the MVT neighborhood.
"The D.C. Bar is embarking on a multiyear effort to design and build a new headquarters. While the Bar will create a state-of-the-art office space, we'll also be building more than that. We will be building a place to network and to learn, a place to congregate and to connect. We will be building community.

Located in the bustling Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood, the development project incorporates the needs identified by thousands of members during our D.C. Bar 2020 strategic planning outreach, including:
  • More classroom venues to accommodate programming that keeps attorneys current and at the top of their practice areas
  • A new in-house production studio to expand the Bar's capabilities in capturing events and member knowledge and broadcasting them virtually to members in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 80+ countries
  • Member access to additional space and valuable resources that will enhance work capabilities and networking opportunities.
 In addition, ownership of the building allows the Bar to save more than $25 million over 30 years versus renting—money that can be used to find more ways to provide member value while maintaining the Bar's position in the lowest quartile of dues rates in the country. Doing more. Managing costs. Driving direct member value. That's what the new home affords the Bar"
The new headquarters is expected to be completed by late 2017/early 2018.
