Move reflects the firm's continued investment in its people, clients, and D.C. community.
Kelley Drye & Warren LLP announced today that its Washington, D.C. office has officially relocated to 670 Maine Avenue SW at The Wharf, an easily accessible and vibrant neighborhood known for its diverse dining options, lively events, and monumental views of the city.
Previously located on the Georgetown Waterfront for the last 35 years, the firm has moved downriver into a new, modern, custom-designed office space.
"The waterfront has always been part of the Kelley Drye D.C. office's identity and culture. This move reflects our growth and continued connection to that identity, while elevating the client experience," said D.C. Office Managing Partner Laura Riposo VanDruff. "This move is a strategic investment in our people, our clients, and the future of the firm."
The new office, designed by Perkins&Will, offers nearly three floors spanning across 65,000 square feet of flexible space that enables collaboration, innovation, and connection. Inspired by the surrounding waterfront, the open design invites natural light throughout the space and incorporates subtle, nature-inspired tones and materials. Highlights include a three-story open staircase that will be complemented by a 27-foot tall, custom glass mural by local D.C. artist Valerie Theberge, which will be installed in January.
The office incorporates state-of-the-art technology to support seamless collaboration across practices and locations. At the center of the space is an expansive conference center, with fully retractable glass doors that open to accommodate larger gatherings and social events. Each floor includes a community hub designed to encourage informal connection and socializing, while providing additional work areas with stunning views of the waterfront. The office also includes a multimedia studio, a distinctive feature that enhances the firm's production of digital content. Additional amenities include access to the building's gym and penthouse space, which offers floor-to-ceiling views of the Potomac River.
"Our move to The Wharf reflects the dynamic, approachable, and community-focused culture we've built," said Kelley Drye Managing Partner Dana Rosenfeld. "Designed with input from our attorneys and staff, the new office encourages team interaction, creative problem-solving, and provides a flexible work environment that supports both our people and our clients."
The D.C. office relocation follows recent moves in New Jersey and Stamford and reflects Kelley Drye's ongoing commitment to its people, clients, and the community. With flexible spaces, state-of-the-art technology, and thoughtful design, the new office supports client engagement, team interaction, and strengthens the firm's presence in the city.
The firm acknowledges the contributions of the key partners who supported this relocation, including our broker Malcolm Marshall of Cushman & Wakefield; CBRE Property Management; The Wharf ownership group Hoffman & Associates; the Perkins&Will design team; HITT Construction; and our project manager, C2C.
