Washington Harbour signs 38,800 square foot Groom Law lease

WASHINGTON, DC – May 13, 2025 - Global Holdings, the international real estate development and investment firm led by Chairman and Founder Eyal Ofer, has announced that the nation’s preeminent benefits, retirement, and health care law firm, Groom Law Group, Chartered (“Groom”) has signed a 38,800 square foot, long-term lease at Washington Harbour, with a move-in date set for late 2027. The lease comes on the heels of an additional six leases signed over the last few months, bringing overall vacancy at this premier waterfront property to 13 percent.

“The addition of Groom to Washington Harbour truly sets the stage for what’s happening here at the project,” stated Craig Panzirer, Senior Vice President, Director of Leasing, Global Holdings. “With some of the most exceptional views in Washington, situated in a neighborhood that is booming, we are ready for this next chapter.”

Global Holdings has invested more than $10 million in renovations at 3000 and 3050 K Street, with more than 500,000 square feet in total office space. Recent enhancements to the property include a state-of-the-art conference center on the fourth floor of 3000 K Street, delivered in 2024, accommodating up to 100 people with scenic views of the Potomac River. Additional upgrades include a tenant lounge and modernized fitness center, providing unparalleled urban convenience.

“Washington Harbour is an iconic waterfront address in Washington,” stated Christine Keller, Executive Principal, Groom. “From the views to the investment in the building to countless neighborhood amenities like the newly opened River Club, this is a vibrant and spectacular location for our firm to continue to lead the country’s benefits, retirement and healthcare law practice for generations to come.”

Beyond base upgrades to the building, Groom’s new space will include expansive windows to soak in the views of the Potomac River, as well as two private terraces facing the Potomac River, perfect for outdoor entertaining and communal space. Spec suites were delivered in the third quarter of 2024, with more than half pre-leased. Joining Groom at Washington Harbour over the past year are six other tenants totaling nearly 34,000 additional square feet in leases. While limited availability remains, the third and a portion of the fourth floor of 3050 K offers a large block of office space with water views and is available for lease.

“Georgetown is one of the most historic, but also vibrant neighborhoods in DC. Washington Harbour epitomizes this, while also sitting on top of the Potomac River, providing stunning water views. Those were major factors in attracting Groom to select Washington Harbour as their new long-term home,” stated Mac Hall, Senior Vice President, JLL.

In addition to Hall, JLL’s Evan Behr and Jeanette Ko represented Washington Harbour. JLL’s Elizabeth Cooper and Lauren Nalls represented Groom. For more information about Washington Harbour, visit https://property.jll.com/listings/washington-harbour-east-3000-k-st-nw-georgetown.
