1001 G Street fits perfectly into Carr Workplaces' vision of combining sought-after buildings at prestigious locations with high-end services required by independent professionals..

Located between 10th and 11th Streets, the building atrium connects directly to Metro Center subway station on one side and the Grand Hyatt Hotel on the other.

"We're seeing massive changes in the workforce. Professionals in all industries are working more independently, headquarters are shrinking, and business units must shift rapidly to address market opportunities," said Joe Wallace, chief executive officer of Carr Workplaces. "The new model of flexible, distributed and fully enabled offices addresses these needs better than traditional offices. These shifts, combined with our proven ability to provide cost-effective alternative office solutions, are behind the rapid pace at which we've been opening centers nationwide and in Washington, D.C.," he said.
