EEOC Inks 144,000-SF Lease in NoMA

WASHINGTON, DC-The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has inked a 144,000-sf lease with San Francisco’s Bristol Group to occupy nearly three stories at One NoMA Station, located at 131 M St. The lease is a coup for the North of Massachusetts submarket as it is the largest tenant contract to close in the new submarket’s short history, which only dates back to 2005, according to Elizabeth Price, the newly appointed NoMA BID president .

“We are very excited about this deal,” she tells GlobeSt.com. “The EEOC is a high profile federal tenant and its sends a strong message about the viability of NoMA. It will encourage other tenants to consider us for space.”

The EEOC will be using One NoMA Station as its headquarters once Bristol has completed EEOC’s requested design changes and renovations. It expects to move from its current location at 1801 L St. sometime next year, Joe DeLogu of Jones Lang LaSalle’s Government Investor Services team tells GlobeSt.com.
