Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE: OFC), today announced that Ice Miller LLP has signed a lease for 5,951 square feet at 100 Light Street in Baltimore, MD.
The full-service law firm signed a lease on the 13th floor of the building—snagging the remaining office space on this floor. Ice Miller will move into the building later this month, adding a Baltimore office to its growing list of locations that include Indianapolis, Columbus, Chicago, New York, D.C., and Philadelphia.
Located in Baltimore’s Central Business District, 100 Light Street offers a prime location, the highest harbor views, sky-high amenities, and newly renovated spaces throughout. Upon moving into the building, Ice Miller will experience unique, reimagined amenity spaces, enhanced security systems and features, elevator, and HVAC upgrades and more as a result of COPT’s multi-million-dollar, five-year capital improvement plan for the iconic Baltimore tower.
Ice Miller LLP is one of the 200 largest firms in the United States, employing more than 350 lawyers across the country. The firm works with a wide range of clients, including individuals; local, regional, and national corporations; not-for-profit organizations; colleges and universities; and governments and sanctioning bodies. This lease represents the firm’s continued efforts to expand its footprint and capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic region.
“I’m thrilled to launch our newest Ice Miller office in the great city of Baltimore, where we see natural intersections between our firmwide strengths and opportunities presented by our new location and lawyers,” said Ice Miller Chief Managing Partner Michael Millikan. “We have a great, growing team ready to hit the ground running at 100 Light Street, a cornerstone of the city’s downtown area and history.”
John Hermann, Vice President of Asset Management and Leasing at COPT, added, “We are pleased to play a role in welcoming Ice Miller to Baltimore as they settle into their new space at 100 Light Street. We’re confident that this building will offer their team everything they could need and more—from its outstanding location to its cutting-edge renovations—and could not be more excited to watch them thrive at their new location.”
