The Washington Commanders, the NFL team formerly known as the Washington Football Team, has signed a 60,000-square-foot office lease in Washington, D.C.'s Foggy Bottom neighborhood. The team's corporate departments and senior leadership will be relocating from their current 27,516-square-foot office space in College Park, Maryland, as the organization prepares for the opening of its new $3.8 billion stadium on the former RFK Stadium campus in 2030.

Why it matters

This move by the Commanders represents a significant investment in the team's presence and operations within the nation's capital, as they look to establish a stronger foothold ahead of the opening of their new state-of-the-art stadium. It also comes at a time when the D.C. office market is facing uneven recovery, with leasing volume hitting a multi-year low in the first quarter of 2026.

The details

The Commanders' new 60,000-square-foot office lease is located at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, in a building owned by real estate firm BXP. The team's current office space in College Park, Maryland, which they have occupied since 2020, will expire in 2030, the same year the new 70,000-seat stadium is scheduled to open on the former RFK Stadium campus.

  • The Commanders' current office lease in College Park, Maryland, expires in 2030.
