SEC leasing coverage: In the summer of 2010 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission signed the largest federal lease in a decade. Three months later, we reported that the agency was in talks with the landlord to give back two thirds of the space. The controversial lease spurred an investigation by the SEC’s internal watchdog.
