From a press release:

“Carr Properties, a leading owner, operator, developer, and acquiror of high-quality commercial properties in the Washington, D.C., Boston and Austin markets, announced today four new leases at its Signal House development in the Union Market District of Washington, D.C. The leases, which total approximately 135,000 square feet and include three office customers, TikTok, NeighborWorks and Industrious, and one retail customer, STARR Restaurant Group, bring the project to nearly 60% leased.

TikTok will occupy the second and third floors, as well as a portion of the ground floor of the building. NeighborWorks will occupy the fifth and sixth floors. Industrious will operate their flexible office concept on the seventh floor.

STARR Restaurant Group (STARR) will occupy the entire south bay, ground floor retail space, which opens to a spacious patio alongside Morse Street. STARR anticipates opening in the first quarter of 2023. STARR is revered and highly rewarded for its visionary and creative multi-concept restaurants, located in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Florida, and Paris. Stephen Starr, the owner, has solidified a name for himself in the District with restaurants Le Diplomat on 14th Street and St. Anselm, also located in the Union Market District. (more…)
