Nixon and Vanderhye Restructures Long Term Office Lease in Arlington, VA

WASHINGTON (May 1, 2023) – Nixon and Vanderhye, a premier intellectual property law firm with a global reach, recently completed a long-term office lease for over 26,000 square feet in Arlington, Virginia’s Ballston neighborhood. The Savills team of Wendy Feldman Block, David Cornbrooks, Steve London, Ken Biberaj, Danielle Ferrari, and Johanna Rodriguez represented the law firm in the lease restructure.

“After a period in which we toured the market and explored several relocation alternatives, Savills negotiated a package that allowed Nixon and Vanderhye to remain located across one of the top floors of 901 N. Glebe Road,” said Feldman Block. “In this climate, we want to ensure that every client need is met, even when they stay in-place. Working with our workplace strategy team, we presented and capitalized on an opportunity to seamlessly reimagine the law firm’s workspace while maintaining its presence in the heart of Arlington.”

In addition to workplace strategy, the Savills team provided a broad range of comprehensive services. Nixon and Vanderhye’s extension will yield significant monetary savings while providing a space that reflects its current workplace policies and enables future growth.

“The very talented and multi-faceted Savills team, led by Wendy Feldman Block, transformed our innocent mid-lease query into a solid lease amendment that significantly reduced our annual rent obligation while allowing us to maintain a high-profile presence in one of the premier buildings in Ballston. We are excited to be able to continue servicing our clients across the globe well into the future from this bustling Arlington neighborhood,” said Rob Barnas, firm administrator at Nixon and Vanderhye.
