Communications and digital marketing agency Rational 360 is expanding its footprint while relocating its headquarters within Downtown D.C.
The deal reflects the firm’s growth over the past five years, during which it expanded its employee base from around 35 to 100, and its desire to be located on the prominent K Street corridor.
“In this area, K Street still kind of means something,” Rational 360 Vice President Kesi Lumumba told _Bisnow_. “And so we are building our firm to be a bit more of that premier style and space.”
Meanwhile, employees are expected to be in the office three days a week, and Lumumba said the company realized it was “busting out of the seams.”
… the Washington Commanders announced their selection of HKS, a global architecture and design firm, as the lead architect for the team’s new, state-of-the-art stadium.
The stadium creates opportunities for ancillary development onsite, with plans to deliver 5,000 to 6,000 new homes, including 1,500 to 1,900 affordable units, preserve the beloved Fields at RFK, introduce new youth sports facilities, create opportunities for hotel and retail development, and dedicate at least 30 percent of the site to enhanced green spaces. This agreement represents a pivotal milestone for both the team and the District, advancing a comprehensive vision for the site that expands riverfront access and invests in Washington, D.C.’s future.
The District-based company has already started brewing beers from its new location 600 Howard Road SE in the Bridge District, a mixed-use property near the Frederick Douglass Bridge and a short walk from the Anacostia Metro station.
The new brewery, at roughly 24,000 square feet, can produce up to 13,000 barrels a year, more than double what it was brewing at its original location in Ivy City
