WASHINGTON, DC—Clarion Partners' 1111 19th St., NW, is turning into a defacto tech enclave. It has secured education technology services firm Blackboard as a tenant, most recently, following such firms as online college textbook provider Flat World Knowledge and SocialRadar, as the Washington Business Journal recently noted.
Blackboard is taking 70,482-square-feet in a 13-year term at the nearly 270,000-square-foot property. This is the building where it first launched close to 20 years ago. DTZ represented Clarion Partners in the transaction. Blackboard will occupy three floors. The office building was recently renovated to sport an expanded lobby and new retail storefronts.
Phillip S. Thomas, Jr., Kerri Mulligan Salih, Matthew Venos and Callie Clemons of DTZ represented Clarion Partners, which owns the property on behalf of a separately managed account.
