The International Republican Institute (IRI) has renewed its lease for 47,416 square feet at 1225 I Street NW in Downtown Washington, DC. The lease renewal was brokered by Cushman & Wakefield (CWK), representing landlord Piedmont Office Realty Trust. The terms of the lease were not disclosed.  

Kyle McFadden, Eugene Kenney, and John Skolnik of C&W represented the landlord, while Randolph Harrell, Kevin Howard, and Lara Nealon of CBRE represented IRI. The renewal of IRI’s office space was one of the top 10 leases in the District in the first quarter of the year, according to a report from Savills. 

“We are thrilled to announce that IRI has chosen to extend its lease at 1225 Eye St. NW. This decision underscores Piedmont Office Realty Trust’s commitment to fostering strong partnerships across its portfolio. Retaining a tenant of IRI’s magnitude in an incredibly competitive marketplace speaks volumes about the trust and value Piedmont provides to its clients,” said McFadden,
