Positioned in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s vibrant Penn Quarter and Judiciary Square, 600 5th St NW transformed the former WMATA headquarters into a modern, trophy-class office destination. Developed by Rockefeller Group and Stonebridge with design by Pickard Chilton, the reimagined building delivers over 400,000 square feet of top-tier workspace across 11 stories upon its anticipated opening in 2026.

Why You Can't Miss This Year's D.C. State of the Market

What You’ll Learn:

  • About current trends in D.C. multifamily development and leasing
  • Which local markets are hot and where are the most exciting development opportunities in the city
  • About the importance and success of mixed-use development in the district
  • About the current state of D.C.’s office inventory and how absorption, rent, and quality is trending
  • How federal disposition and leasing of office in D.C. could affect the office market and what new opportunities for development it may bring
  • What future elections and a new administration could mean for CRE in D.C.
  • What policies could help reinvigorate development in district 

 

Why This Matters:

While D.C.’s office market continues to navigate its way through underutilized, outdated inventory, and federal government policies, emerging trends in residential, mixed-use and sports-driven developments are creating new growth opportunities for the city. This year’s D.C. State of the Market event will explore how industry leaders across sectors are overcoming the challenges of development and reimagining what it means to live, work, and play in the district. From federal property transformations to new development hotspots in areas like RFK Stadium, join us as we discuss how the D.C. market is evolving and the role local policies play in incentivizing and embracing a new phase of growth.
