WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 14, 2026 — Colliers has brokered a 14,354-square-foot office lease for Working America at 1725 Eye Street NW in Washington, D.C., the firm announced. The deal adds a nationally prominent labor advocacy organization to the building's tenant roster as owner Calvin Cafritz Enterprises moves forward with a comprehensive capital improvement program at the property. Lincoln Property Company represented the tenant in the transaction.

Deal Details and Representation

The Colliers leasing team representing landlord Cafritz consisted of Executive Vice President Mark Sullivan, Senior Vice President Matt Venos, and Client Services Coordinator Cassidy May. Lincoln Property Company represented Working America on the tenant side.
