The beginning of the end for a Friendship Heights landmark.

After 67 years in Friendship Heights, the former GEICO corporate headquarters is being prepared for demolition and redevelopment. Designed by architect Vincent Kling and completed in 1959, the 26-acre International Style campus served for decades as a familiar landmark at the border of Montgomery County and Washington, D.C.

With GEICO’s relocation to downtown Bethesda now complete, activity on the site accelerated today as heavy equipment, staging flatbeds, and a Bay Crane arrived on-site. The transformation of one of Friendship Heights’ most recognizable corporate campuses is now visibly underway.
