Marx Realty has welcomed the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy and two additional new leasors to the newly repositioned The Herald in Washington, DC. The foundation signed a seven-year, 6,000-square-foot office lease on the seventh floor of the building on New York Avenue.

Scott Circle Communications signed a five-year, 3,200-square-foot office lease for one of the building’s pre-built suites on the seventh floor of the building, while an unnamed economic think tank signed a seven-year, 7,000-square-foot lease on the fifth floor. 

Marx Realty was represented by Doug Mueller, Evan Behr, Nathan Beach and Jeanette Ko of JLL; Scott Circle Communications was represented by Creighton Armstrong and Lauren Thomas of JLL; and the Barbara Bush Foundation was represented by Chris Lucey and Doug Damron of Newmark.

Marx Realty recently completed a $41 million hospitality-themed transformation of The Herald to combine a hotel-like ambiance with a New York club-like vibe and sophisticated DC design sensibility.
