Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) was appointed by EDGE Fund Advisors as the exclusive leasing agent for 1350 Eye Street NW. Brendan Owen, George Vogelei, Rafael Notario and Morgan Monroe of NGKF will handle the leasing of the iconic office building in Washington, DC’s East End.
Owned and managed by affiliates of EDGE Fund Advisors, the 12-story Class A building totals 381,074 square feet and includes a newly renovated grand marble lobby, a rooftop terrace, an exclusive fitness center with a studio and classes and an unrivaled conference center with a virtual concierge service. The building is situated at the intersection of 14th and Eye Streets, affording tenants fantastic window lines with three and a half sides of glass and panoramic views of Franklin Park, which is scheduled to undergo an $18.8 million transformation beginning in 2017.
“We are thrilled to represent EDGE at 1350 Eye Street,” said Owen, chairman of the Asset Services Group. “The property offers an abundance of windows and excellent exposure for tenants who want natural light and park views. We are excited to work with the building’s ownership, which is committed to continuously improving the experience of the tenants, as evidenced by all the recent renovations to the property.”
The property, located in East End just three blocks west of the thriving CityCenterDC and three blocks northeast of the White House, offers access to hundreds of high-end retailers and restaurants within a short walk of the building. Two of the city’s highly anticipated new restaurants, Pennsylvania 6 and Buredo Sushi, recently opened in the property’s street-level retail space.
The building offers unparalleled convenience for drivers with four levels of parking - more parking spaces than most Class A office buildings in DC - and vehicular access from 14th and Eye Streets. The parking garage also contains an updated bike storage facility for cyclist commuters. Its immediate access to the McPherson Square Metro Station (Blue, Orange and Silver Lines), proximity to Metro Center Metro Station and numerous bus lines also make it an ideal location for mass transit commuters.
