Carr Properties

Earlier this week, we had the privilege of hosting students from the Washington Jesuit Academy for our annual property tour and career day. A variety of our associates led a tour of Signal House in Union Market DC, providing the students with a deeper understanding of the various roles involved in developing, marketing, leasing, and operating an office building. This provided the students with valuable insights on the many career opportunities within commercial real estate. By continuing this mentorship tradition, we reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by investing in the future of both our industry and the communities we serve. #MentorshipMatters #DiversityInRealEstate #FutureLeaders #CareerExploration

We are thrilled to announce that One Congress, our one-million-square-foot trophy office tower in Boston, has been named winner of the 2024 American Architecture Awards (AAA) in its Skyscraper and High Rises category!

Last night, we hosted the 6th annual Carr Cares Concert benefiting the Washington Jesuit Academy and the Washington School for Girls. We are incredibly proud to share that this year’s event raised record-high funds, reaching over $415,000, which will go directly towards WJA and WSG’s missions of advancing the educational opportunities for students in Washington, DC through their all-scholarship school programs. WJA and WSG are far more than schools—they are transformative spaces where students unlock their potential, grow as leaders, and receive the mentorship and support they need to thrive. With 99% of their alumni graduating high school, compared to the city average of 75%, these institutions are truly shaping the future of our community. Last night’s success would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our partners, donors, and associates. Together, we are making a lasting difference, one student at a time. Thank you for being part of this journey and helping us build brighter futures for so many deserving young students. #CarrCares2024 #CommunityEngagement #RealEstateWithPurpose
