Out of the 34M SF of office space in Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle, 1050 17th Street, one of the district’s premier office buildings, is garnering attention.

Delivered in 2020, this building stands at 154K SF in the heart of D.C. — just steps away from the White House, dozens of restaurants, hotels and transportation hubs. Owned by Hines and designed by Gensler, it was designed with occupant comfort in mind and includes high-end finishes, light-filled workspaces and prominent sustainability features.

The 1050 17th Street building will host Bisnow’s DMV 2026 Economic and Political Forecast on Jan. 29. Register here.

About The Asset

The 11-story 1050 17th Street is a Class-A office building that sits in a prime location adjacent to Farragut Square.

Beyond its desirable location, each floor plate is adaptive and spans roughly 15K SF. The building’s modern facade includes floor-to-ceiling windows, and tenants on each floor have 9-foot ceiling heights and expansive city views.

Amenities of 1050 17th Street include an underground parking garage with nearly 100 spaces and electric vehicle chargers, a private all-gender restroom on every floor, destination-dispatch elevators that serve the lobby and office floors, and two shuttle elevators serving the lobby and all garage levels. Other notable amenities include a fitness center, a bike room, a conference center and a lounge available for all tenants of the building.

The building was constructed in 1975 but underwent a complete renovation and reopened its doors in 2020. To adapt to the needs of the modern workforce, 1050 17th Street was redesigned with sustainability in mind, placing emphasis on air quality, social responsibility and innovative infrastructure.

For the comfort of tenants and visitors, 1050 17th Street maintains triple-scrubbed indoor air with MERV-13 filtration, a central plant water-filtration system and 100% air exchange every 55 minutes. Elevators are Bluetooth-enabled so tenants can avoid touching buttons.

The 11-foot, floor-to-floor curtainwall glazing gives a light and airy feel for tenants and visitors, something that today’s workers are increasingly demanding. The lobby features biophilic elements, including a living green wall for an earthy atmosphere — even in the heart of downtown D.C. The building is LEED Gold Certified, further displaying its commitment to providing a healthy work environment.

About The Neighborhood

Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle Business Improvement District spans 44 city blocks in the center of downtown. Set in the heart of the triangle, 1050 17th Street is mere blocks from restaurants, hotels and attractions such as the White House and the National Mall, making it one of the best locations in the district, said Joe Coleman, senior vice president at CBRE.

"Located on the block adjacent to Farragut Square Park and just three and a half blocks north of the White House, 1050 17th is a true gem in the heart of downtown D.C.," said Randy Harrell, vice chairman at CBRE.

Harrell said the property is surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic luxury hotels, including The Hay-Adams, The St. Regis Washington, D.C., and The Mayflower Hotel.

Dining options abound, Harrell said, from white tablecloth favorites such as Morton’s The Steakhouse, P.J. Clarke’s and McCormick & Schmick’s to a wide array of convenient fast-casual spots, including Pret A Manger, Starbucks and Joe & the Juice — all just a short walk from 1050 17th Street.

The Golden Triangle boasts more than 75,000 daily visitors, and 1050 17th Street's location is proximate to the DuPont Circle neighborhood, home to D.C.’s highest concentration of young residents. The median age for those living in this area is 34 years old, with the average household income coming in at nearly $180K annually, making it one of the highest-income areas in the region. The building is within one block of Farragut North and Farragut West metro stations, serving the red, silver, orange and blue train lines.

About The Market

Washington, D.C.’s office market closed 2025 with 7.2M SF in annual leasing activity. This is on par with the annual total of 2024, showing signs of stabilization after a pandemic-induced blow.

Trophy office assets continue to outshine the other asset classes, with a vacancy rate of just 10.7% at the end of Q4 2025. This is much lower than the average vacancy rate across the city of 22.5%.

Today’s tenants want spaces that are ideally located and offer their workforce a wide array of amenities, catering to an active and healthy lifestyle, said Lara Nealon, first vice president at CBRE.

"With new state-of-the-art architectural design and systems infrastructure, 1050 17th is positioned at the forefront of the district’s office market, home to the highest-quality tenants seeking the highest-quality office opportunities," Harrell said.
