Gannett’s new 880,000-sf McLean headquarters was completed in October of 2001. Located on 25 acres, the $300-million project, including $160-million in construction costs, features an additional 750,000-sf mostly underground parking garage. Architects Kohn Pederson Fox designed the base building, with Lehman-Smith + McLeish designing the interiors. Developed by Hines of Houston, the building is comprised of two connecting towers and houses a 20,000-sf fitness center, a mile-long jogging trail, a 400-seat employee café, and 2 acres of landscaped rooftop terraces. Formerly located in Arlington, the media giant’s headquarters personnel were permanently relocated in October upon completion of the new facility. Clark Construction was the general contractor.
