Allegis Group, an international recruitment company based in Maryland, is leasing a significant amount of office space in Capital Plaza at Deerwood Park Building 1. The city approved permits last week totaling almost $1.6 million for Dav-Lin Interior Contractors Inc. to build-out almost 42,000 square feet of office space on the first floor and on part of the second. That follows a permit issued in January for Adams Interior Contractors Inc. to build-out a 16,000-squarefoot space for Allegis on the second floor at a cost of $433,049. That takes Allegis to a build-out of at least $2 million. Allegis Group has not responded to telephone calls or emails about the space. In total, Allegis appears to lease at least 58,000 square feet of space at the building. That size of a lease could accommodate several hundred employees.
