The public affairs firm will take 21,500 square feet, spanning the entire 10th floor and half of the ninth floor in the 114,000-square-foot office property. The company is relocating its D.C. offices from 2008 Hillyer Place NW.

Marx Realty acquired the historic building in 2020 for $41 million, which held both the Washington Herald Examiner’s offices and printing presses, to which it owes the 19-foot ceilings on the ground floor. It’s there that Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis started her career as a photographer and reporter.

Located at 1307 New York Avenue, the building was built in 1923 and is known for its Beaux Arts style infused with a luxury hotel sensibility. The building features a new 40-seat boardroom, a European-style cafe and the Bouvier Club, an 8,800-square-foot lounge that incorporates historic photos, curated artwork, newspaper-printing memorabilia and a fireplace.

“The remarkable and prestigious tenant roster at The Herald is a testament to its distinctive hospitality-infused aesthetics, creating an inspiring environment that seamlessly blends modern amenities with the building’s rich historical charm,” Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty, said in a prepared statement.

Locust Street Group was represented by Ken Biberaj and Danielle Ferrari of Savills, while Avison Young’ Will Stern and Eli Barnes handled things for the landlord.
