One NoMa Station will ultimately consist of connected 200,000-sf twin towers at 131 M St. NW in the center of the NoMa Corridor--a once ignored area bound by Massachusetts Avenue Union Station, North Capitol Street and New York Avenue that is now a burgeoning sector of the city. Space is being marketed in the high $30s to low $40s, Spaulding & Slye Colliers' Scott Johnston tells GlobeSt.com. Johnston and colleagues David Alperstein and Joe Delogu represented Bristol Group, while the GSA's own Mark Stadsklev spoke for the government organization.

"This lease is a key signal that NoMa Station is a leading-edge project and a catalyst for future private development in the area," says Andrew Pellman, NoMa Station's project manager for Bristol Group. It appears unlikely that the GSA will be the sole business on One NoMa Station's preliminary tenant roster for long. "There has been a lot of activity from the federal government and a variety of different users," Johnston adds. "We hope to announce another lease in the near future."
