History

The company was founded in 1952 by lawyer Ted Lerner, after he borrowed $250 from his wife.[1]

In 1958, the company developed its first shopping center, Wheaton Plaza (now Westfield Wheaton) in partnership with the Gudelsky family.[1]

Shortly thereafter, it bought 2 parcels of land in Tysons Corner, Virginia.[1] In 1968, the company completed development of Tysons Corner Center.[2]

In 1972, the company completed development of Landover Mall in Prince George's County, Maryland, but the mall was closed and demolished in 2002.[3] The company solicited the site as a location for a new headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[4]

In 2003, a joint venture between the company and Guggenheim Partners acquired 1275 K Street NW in Washington, D.C. from JBG Smith.[5]

In 2004, in partnership with Tower Companies, the company began development of a 300,000 square foot shopping center in Virginia [6] and in 2006, the partners began development of a 198,000 square foot office building at 2000 Tower Oaks Blvd in Tower Oaks.[7] The company moved its headquarters to the building when it was completed in 2008.

In March 2007, the company completed construction of 20 M Street.[8] In 2009, the company leased 94,435 square feet of space in the building to the Bureau of Land Management.[9]

In 2008, the company began constructing a 2-tower combination Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel in Rockville.[10]

In 2013, the company broke ground on a 433-unit apartment complex across the street from its Dulles Town Center project.[11] In 2014, the company broke ground on additional developments at Dulles Town Center.[12]

In 2015, the company was subject to a lawsuit after it demolished portions of its White Flint Mall to redevelop the site, in violation of a lease with Lord & Taylor.[13]

In February 2016, the company sold 2 office buildings in Fairfax, Virginia.[14]

In 2016, the company completed development of 1775 Tysons in Tyson's Corner, Virginia.[15]
