1201 New York Avenue is a 13-story, 413,003 square-foot Class A office building prominently located at the intersection of New York Avenue, 12th Street and Eye Street in the East End sub-market Washington, D.C.

Designed by Clark, Tribble, Harris & Li, the building has strong neo-classical elements and was planned as a single, unified project but was built as two separate buildings, 1201 and 1225 New York Avenue, completed in 1989 and 1993, respectively. The property is 98.5% leased with major tenants including the Corporation for National & Community Service, the Department of Homeland Security, Staas & Halsey, the Office of Government Ethics and Bobby Van’s Grill.


1201 New York Avenue is situated on a relatively unique corner location offering significant views in several directions. Across from a small park, it is two blocks from both the McPherson Square metro station and Metro Center.

The property is located in the East End sub-market, which is home to the recent development of the Verizon Center and the new Washington Convention Center. 1201 New York Avenue’s proximity to these destinations and continued area development, including the planned redevelopment of the former Convention Center site, is expected to increase the desirability of the location and property.


Future lease rollover and nearby developments will require that 1201 New York Avenue maintain a strong and unique position within the Class A office market. Pembroke has partnered with preeminent property management, leasing and architecture firms in Washington, D.C. to ensure the property remains competitive and attractive to tenants in the future.


1201 New York Avenue, while constructed as two separate buildings, is seamlessly integrated and has a modern HVAC system, building envelope, window design and structural characteristics and includes parking for 260 vehicles.
