Sold: American Press Institute Building

The former headquarters of the National Press Institute was sold in late April to Rooney Holdings for $5,037,746.

The building at 11690 Sunrise Valley Drive has been empty since March of 2012, when the API (which merged with the Newspaper Association of America earlier that year) left the building it had occupied since 1972.

The new owner of the modernist structure is Francis Rooney and Rooney Holdings, according to Fairfax County land records.

Rooney is the majority owner of Manhattan Construction Company, which has led such projects as George Washington University Hospital, Founders Hall at George Mason University, the US Capitol Visitors Center, Dallas Cowboys Stadium and the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
