Regional Office Building Reconfiguration, 7th & D Streets
Washington, DC
The 7th & D project is a multi-year renovation project, totaling 612,000 USF at completion. BCS and our teaming partner Procon successfully completed the first Relocation and Transition Phase which involved designing, planning, and managing the consolidation of 2,200 DHS tenants from the East side of 7th & D to the West side of 7th & D.
