The Humane Society of the United States has sold its national headquarters in Washington D.C. for $11 million. The building at 2100 L St. NW. was purchased by a partnership between Akridge, Corporate Office Properties Trust and Argos. The trio plan to redevelop the West End site into a trophy office building and renovate an adjacent, historic school for educational use. The Humane Society will remain in the building for six months, before relocating to an undisclosed location.
āThe Humane Society sold the L Street building to take advantage of a unique opportunity stemming from its key position on the block and to put those funds to work to support the society and its critical animal programs,ā said Paul Graham, a senior vice president at Colliers International, the seller’s representative in the transaction.
