WASHINGTON, March 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carr Workplaces, a national provider of alternative workplace solutions, announced today they have opened their latest business center in the heart of Georgetown, the vibrant and historic retail district of Washington, D.C. While Carr Workplaces has been providing serviced office solutions since 2003, the center at 1050 30th Street, NW, Washington, D.C., is their first to offer shared common workspaces alongside conventional private office space. The Georgetown center was designed for collaboration, with a large open co-working room filled with co-joined desks complete with phones and wireless internet access—perfect for independent professionals who need ultimate flexibility to work whenever, wherever, and however they choose. This is the ninth new executive offices facility Carr Workplaces opened in the past year.
The Georgetown location continues in the Carr Workplaces tradition, with modern and professional offices, in a highly-sought-after location. The center faces the historic C&O Canal with trails frequented by joggers, walkers and cyclists. This location is just steps away from the restaurants and high-end shopping of Georgetown and the Washington Harbour Complex. It offers easy access to the Key Bridge, Memorial Bridge, I-66, Wisconsin Avenue and the Whitehurst Freeway.
The Georgetown center features highly professional guest reception and customized phone answering. Full meeting support, including set-up, IT, catering, audio and web conferencing is also provided. Adding to the collaborative nature of the facility is the community café with complimentary gourmet coffee. A private terrace overlooking the C&O Canal offers Carr Workplaces guests and visitors an outdoor meeting and relaxation space. Clients benefit from 24/7 manned building security, garage parking and convenient public access to Metrobuses and DC Circulator.
"We're thrilled by the potential of our first co-working concept center in Georgetown, a vibrant area for independent professionals," said Joe Wallace, CEO of Carr Workplaces. "This concept is highly responsive to the expanding need for the workplace to be as flexible as possible, and for work environments to match the increasingly mobile requirements of technology-enabled professionals. These workers don't use fixed offices by the year; they need multiple work environments that they can buy by the hour, day, or month," said Wallace.
Carr Workplaces integrates Class-A offices, suites, co-working rooms, and meeting rooms with technology and support services, in the most prestigious locations across America. Carr Workplaces' business centers offer serviced executive offices that cater to independent professionals, companies with short-term or small scale project requirements, and other organizations seeking to outsource the management of their work environment. By eliminating start-up capital and expensive infrastructure costs, Carr Workplaces solutions allow clients to save 30% over conventional real estate options. Carr Workplaces also offers virtual office, meeting room, touchdown, and part-time solutions to address the needs of mobile and home-based workers.
