Skanska recently hosted a ground breaking ceremony for its newest mixed-use development at 1700 M Street, Northwest. Skanska executives were joined by community members and local leaders at the site of the future 11-story, 334,000-square-feet trophy office building. Planned to deliver in 2024, the company previously announced internationally renowned law firm, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, as 17xM’s anchor tenant, occupying over 50 percent of the building’s office space.17xM is strategically located in the central business district, between Dupont Circle and the White House. It reflects Skanska's “inside out” concept, designed to augment personal wellness and enhance the tenant experience. Additionally, 17xM will include curated amenity spaces with integrated features, including conference and event facilities, a rooftop deck, and a private lower-level terrace. The design also incorporates a private vehicular layby drop off for tenants and guests. This supports the reduction of overall traffic in and around the downtown corridor.The project, which seized one of the few remaining opportunities for ground-up construction in Northwest DC, will target LEED Gold, Fitwel, and WiredScore certifications. Additionally, 17xM is the first SmartScore certified office building in North America. Skanska has teamed with Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) architects along with consultants at Arup and Siemens to curate 17xM’s digitally connected environment and top-tier amenities package.
