WASHINGTON, U.S. — Carr Properties has announced the signing of two new retail leases at Midtown Center in Washington, DC. Nicholas Stefanelli, owner of Masseria, will occupy 12,000 square feet with a full-service restaurant specializing in Greek cuisine, and West Coast coffee culture brand Blue Bottle Coffee is set to occupy 2,000 square feet.
Oliver Carr, CEO of Carr Properties, said: “We are thrilled to have Nick Stefanelli, a Michelin Star rated chef, and Blue Bottle Coffee joining as our initial street level tenants at Midtown Center. Our vision for the project is to create one of the best street retail experiences in the City where people can have fun and enjoy incredible dining; Midtown Center is getting off to a great start with these tremendous operators.

Midtown Center is a newly developed mixed-use project located in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. The building features two office towers separated by an extraordinary European-style public plaza, together with 44,000 square feet of tremendous street retail space.
The plaza and retail space will serve as a gathering place for shoppers, tenants and pedestrians alike. Home to Fannie Mae’s new national headquarters, this new development boasts stunning bridges that create suspended connections between the East and West office towers.
Amenities of Midtown Center are consistent with the building’s first-class LEED Gold design and include three levels of below-grade parking; 5,000 SF fitness center; 1,300 SF bike room; a state-of-the-art rooftop conference center with stunning views of downtown Washington D.C.; and 44,000 square feet of retail.
The first phase of Midtown Center is now complete and construction of the final phase is slated for completion in June of 2018. Approximately 70,000 square feet of office space remains available together with 30,000 square feet of retail space. Dan Dooley and Kaitlyn Rausse of Carr Properties are leasing the office space at Midtown Center, and John Asadoorian, of Asadoorian Retail Solutions, is representing Carr Properties on the leasing of the retail space at Midtown Center.
