"UberOffices is on the forefront of co-working and creating a community where small companies can do serious work," said MRP Realty principal Zach Wade. "By teaming up with UberOffices to purchase 1509 16th Street, we will be partners to take on the new trend of shorter leases and flexible workspaces."
"MRP Realty brings investment strength, operating experience and property management strength to bear and they are perfect partners for this new venture," said Raymond Rahbar, founder of UberOffices. "This is our first purchase of a property after a successful first two years, and partnering with MRP on the Logan Circle location brings added real estate value to the project. We have had a lot of support from the investment community who are seeking opportunities to be in the co-working space and we look forward to growing our footprint."
UberOffices will move into the seven-story, 35,000 square foot building by early 2016. In addition to the desirable location, UberOffices set its sights on the building due to its character and aesthetics, having been constructed in 1909 with a brick facade and unique window line. MRP will provide construction and property management services, while UberOffices will be the sole occupant in the building.
Cris White, Jackson Prentice and Zach Wade represented MRP during the transaction while Raymond Rahbar and Jaimie Shapiro represented UberOffices during the transaction.
