Office construction in Greater Washington hits a low point

We noticed something about our List this year of the biggest ongoing construction projects. Do you see it? There’s a distinct lack of new office projects. With the next phase of Amazon’s HQ2 campus on pause, the only private office developments on our List this year are 17xM, a new Skanska office building at 1700 M St. NW, and the renovation and repositioning of Metro’s former headquarters as 600 Fifth, at 600 Fifth St. NW in Penn Quarter. Compare that with 2019, when we had nine major office projects on our List.
