Washington, DC – National interdisciplinary design firm HGA<\/strong><\/a> announces it has signed a lease to move its DC Metro region headquarters<\/a> to the historic Woodies Building at 1025 F Street, NW, in Penn Quarter. HGA is taking 17,000 square feet on the building\u2019s second floor which is located directly above Metrorail\u2019s Metro Center station. The DC studio offers services in architecture, engineering (MEP, structural, fire protection), interior design, lighting design, and workplace design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoving to one of Washington\u2019s quintessential historic buildings in the heart of the city puts us closer to our clients and offers HGA an extremely visible footprint in downtown Washington via our new second floor storefront,\u201d said Jay Scruggs, principal and office director of HGA in DC. \u201cWe look forward to designing a truly HGA environment in this exceptional space that will showcase what we have learned about the post-Covid workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built in the late 1800\u2019s, the building was home to the Woodward & Lothrop flagship department store, until it closed in the 1990\u2019s. Douglas Development acquired the renowned landmark, rezoned the property, fully renovated the interior, and restored the facades. The 10-story building, located in the heart of Washington, offers 17-foot ceilings, 11-foot windows, open floor plans, retail and Class A office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to being part of the vibrant Penn Quarter neighborhood with its myriad restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail offerings,\u201d added Bruno Grinwis, principal at HGA in DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
