Air & Space Forces Association Sells Arlington HQ, Plans Move to ‘More Modern and Flexible Facility’

The Air & Space Forces Association recently sold a long-held, aging office building in Arlington, with plans to move into more contemporary digs.

The association, a nonprofit that advocates for the military branches for which it is named, has its national headquarters in the roughly 85,000-square-foot, 1980’s era Class B office building at 1501 Langston Blvd., which it owned for more than 40 years – until June 1, when it sold the property to Taicoon 1501 Langston LLC. The association is leasing space there on a short-term basis until it moves to a new, yet unsolidified location.

“A more modern and flexible facility will enhance our operational capability and open new doors to growth in the future,” Bruce Wright, the association’s president and CEO and retired three-star Air Force general, said in a press release provided to the Washington Business Journal.

The organization’s "mission to modernize" entails "creating new, technology driven space in a location that puts it closer to its business partners and government agencies,” Mindy Saffer, a managing principal at Cresa, which represented the seller in the transaction, said in the release. The association “is working with Cresa to identify a new HQ location but a lease has not been signed yet,” the spokesperson said.

Cresa’s Saffer and Natalie Gosnell joined Stream Realty Partners’ Matt Pacinelli and Charlie Smiroldo in representing the association.
