Union services firm Ullico to depart District offices
Ullico sold its current headquarters, commonly called the Darth Vader building, in February to Douglas Development for $62 million. Ullico signed a short-term leaseback deal with Douglas Development, which will expire in about six months. In the meantime, the black glass building at 111 Massachusetts Ave. NW has kept Douglas broker Blake Esherick busy.
Homeland Security leases about 80,000 square feet in the building and officials are talking with the owners about taking more.
