“The hybrid work environment creates variable demand for office space and requires creative office solutions. We partnered with Hines to bring The Square to the Bowen Building as a direct response to these changing needs and the current nature of the workplace,” said D’Juan O’Donald, Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase. “With this hospitality-driven, curated offering, the Bowen Building differentiates itself in the local D.C. market through its wide range of amenities, Hines’ expertise in property management globally, and our capability to offer high-quality flexible and conventional office leasing options.”
The Square at the Bowen Building, which is already 20% pre-leased, can accommodate up to 225 people in total, spread across 30 offices and three suites. Members will have access to all building amenities including an expansive rooftop with views of the National Mall, lounge and event space, and a fully equipped fitness center. They will also gain access to The Square’s network of collaboration and office spaces, including Mexico City, Houston, Salt Lake City, and a growing list of additional cities.
The 12-story, 231,000 square foot Bowen Building is newly renovated with the main lobby and interiors redesigned by STUDIOS Architecture, incorporating state-of-the-art building technology and systems, while the original historic beaux-arts limestone facade was restored and retained.
“Our partnership with JPMorgan Chase has been vital in bringing The Square to the D.C. market,” said Andrew Cooke, senior vice president, management services at Hines. “The Bowen Building is a landmark in the downtown business district and the addition of The Square will elevate the experience further for clients who desire a high-quality product, with the ability to ebb and flow in a building and across conventional and flexible office products.”
