One of the world's largest private equity firms is growing its District headquarters, in the process shedding its satellite office in Rosslyn.

The Carlyle Group, founded by philanthropist extraordinaire David Rubenstein, William E.

Carlyle currently houses more than 300 employees at its Rosslyn office at 1300 Wilson Blvd., but those workers will move into the redesigned space on Pennsylvania Avenue as part of the new 11-year lease.
