Verizon Walks Out of Courthouse
17 07 2008When Verizon decided to vacate the lease on their 11 story office building in Courthouse a few months ago, the owners MRP Realty decided it was time for a complete renovation. The comprehensive capital improvements include a new courtyard, overhauled lobby, and new health-club facilities, in addition to new interior elements throughout.
It’s a big deal when a company that occupies an entire building vacates, not only to the owner of the almost half million sq-ft office but also to the local businesses in the Courthouse area that served and fed the large number of employees coming and going every day.
Hopefully this highly visable building in the Arlington market will be filled back up soon, the renovations just started but should be finished by the end of next month.

I am suprised that building is empty, it is such a prime spot, I’m sure it will be filled back up soon being so close to the metro and downtown.
If only the company I work for in Tysons would move in. A two block “walking” commute sure beats trying to decide which headache producing way I want to get in and out of Tysons each day.
