Ranked #3 on Fortune’s list of the best places in the nation to
raise a family, Silver Spring is a highly walkable community just
minutes from the nation’s capital. With a downtown boasting more
than 200 small businesses, Silver Spring is in dire need of a
solution for working parents with young kids. Two Birds fills that
gap, offering a professional workspace, early childhood education,
and extracurricular classes for children and parents.
Not only does Inventa Towers boast a prime location, but it also
offers countless amenities for tenants and community members.
AREP’s custom-designed SuiteX spaces will provide the complete
office experience with a range of spec suite sizes and
configurations that best suit each business—all with access to
hospitality-driven town hall style amenities. Additionally, the
property’s state-of the art 4,000-square-foot fitness center
includes best-in-class equipment and private locker rooms. Its
redesigned outdoor plaza features bench seating, walking paths and
plenty of green space, plus easily accessible drop-off and pick-up
zones. At Inventa Towers, Two Birds customers can enjoy a midday
walk or workout knowing their kids are being well taken care
of.
“AREP and Two Birds share a common goal: creating ideal spaces
that redefine what it means to live, work, and play,” said Kerri
Thomas, AREP Senior Vice President, Leasing. “Our research has
shown that more and more young families are choosing walkable edge
cities that offer all of the benefits of city living at a more
convenient scale. Silver Spring is one such city, and with Two
Birds settling in at Inventa Towers, working parents now have
access to a state-of-the-art child care center and coworking space
in the heart of downtown.”
“Inventa Towers offers Two Birds the space and amenities it
needs to incorporate the whole family into the childcare
experience,” said Kesley Lents, CEO of Two Birds. “And the
location speaks for itself - located just steps away from the
Silver Spring metro station, Inventa Towers is about as convenient
as it gets for employees and customers.”
Q2 has welcomed a wave of new customers to Inventa Towers. In
addition to Two Birds, AREP has also secured a 5,054-square-foot
lease with Laisar Management Group, LLC, a business management
solutions provider, and signed a 5,636-square-foot lease with
Community Multi-Services, INC., a non-profit operator of group
homes for developmentally disabled citizens in the Washington, D.C.
area.
“It is exciting to see Inventa Towers usher in a new era of
business and childcare to the Silver Spring community. Securing
three leasing deals in a 30-day period speaks to AREP’s expertise
and commitment to improving the communities its properties serve,”
said Jason Fleit, SVP of Asset Management at AREP.
Two Birds will officially move into Inventa Towers next spring,
with the goal of being open for business on June 2, 2025.
