COLUMBIA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCorporate Office Properties Trust (\u201cCOPT\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NYSE: OFC) recently executed three leases totaling 460,000 square feet. In Northern Virginia, the Company completed long-term leases with a Fortune 500 company for two build-to-suit developments totaling 420,000 square feet on land the Company owns. Additionally, in Huntsville, AL, the Company leased 39,000 square feet to the U.S. Government at 100 Secured Gateway, which is now 100% leased.\n<\/p>\n

\nWith these transactions, management has achieved its goal of completing one million square feet of development leasing in 2020.
