WASHINGTON, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As states across the nation start phased re-openings, companies are determining how to return their employees, clients and vistors to the office safely. Monday Properties, a leading national real estate investment and development company, and Kastle Systems, America's largest managed security services provider, have partnered to implement KastleSafeSpaces, an integrated, building-wide plan to safeguard the health and safety of workers returning to the workplace. Monday Properties will be leading the commercial real estate sector in implementing this technology in the D.C. metro area at their world-class office tower, 1812 North Moore Street in Arlington, Virginia, home of Nestle's U.S. Headquarters.
