WASHINGTON-Fiber-optic cable network operator wants to open a $250-million, 400,000-SF gateway site to serve local customers.

Level3 Communications, a Colorado-based data communications firm, needs a place to plug Washington into its growing fiber-optic network. “We are looking for a site that can accommodate a half-million-sf facility,” says Robert Schwartz, the Cushman & Wakefield broker representing Level3.

The company is searching the city’s NoMa district, named after a triangular area north of a Massachusetts Avenue. It is also considering a couple of sites in Loudoun County, VA, about 30 miles west, he says, but declined to reveal further details.
