Carr Workplaces caters to growing businesses and independent professionals by providing everything from virtual offices to fully staffed and IT-enabled workspaces on highly flexible terms – and all at the most prestigious and upscale locations across America.

Clients can start with one office and add space and services as needed, on terms from 30 days to three years.

Carr's newest location in Chevy Chase is one of the most recognizable business addresses in the DC area. Located at the intersection of Wisconsin and Western Avenues, the property is adjacent to the Friendship Heights Metro station and is surrounded by the finest amenities in the Washington, DC area.

"Chevy Chase is one of the greatest places to live, work and play in the United States and we are delighted to open Carr Workplaces right in the heart of this vibrant community," said Joe Wallace, CEO of Carr Workplaces. "Our offices are suitable for all types of professionals and small businesses who require a state-of-the-art office that offers prestige without sacrificing economic efficiency."

The 5425 Wisconsin Avenue property marks Carr Workplaces' second location in Maryland and the 27th nationally for the rapidly expanding alternative upscale workplace provider.

For Marchella Garwood, Regional Facilities Manager for Ally Bank and long-time Carr customer, the company's steep growth curve is no surprise.

"Many of our employees can work from home. But from a cultural standpoint, a distraction standpoint, it pays to have a space like this. It doesn't hurt either that the people at Carr Workplaces are so easy to work with," said Garwood. "They provide the office support I need, with better amenities, nicer finishes and lower rent – and at premier locations."
