Kenwood Management Company, an affiliate of Kenwood McLean Plaza, announces that it has executed two leases totaling 13,641 square feet with a total lease value of $4 million.

Orbis Corporation, a software engineering and cyber security company, executed a 7-year lease for 11,448 square feet. They will be relocating from 6849 Old Dominion Drive, a nearby McLean property.

For both leases, Kenwood McLean Plaza was represented by Cole Spalding and Lawrence Fitzgerald from Newmark Knight Frank, and Bill Singer from Kenwood Management. John Schlegel represented Orbis from Transwestern Commercial Services. 

Additionally, Sun Design Remodeling, a residential design-build firm, signed a 6-year lease and expanded from 1,669 square feet to 2,193 square feet. Nate Krill of JLL represented Sun.

Orbis and Sun join other McLean Plaza tenants, Medstar, VA Hospital Center, and Contrack Corporation. 

McLean Plaza Is an Ideal Location for Businesses

Kenwood acquired McLean Plaza in November 2021 at 80% occupancy and has since added seven new tenants to bring the occupancy to 97% leased.

Bill Singer, Principal of Kenwood Management, said, “Since acquiring McLean Plaza, it has experienced a steady interest from office and medical tenants, despite the news that tenants are not returning to work. We are extremely happy to add Orbis Corporation and to expand Sun Design at McLean Plaza.”

Located near I-66, I-495, and Route 123, McLean Plaza is within walking distance of hundreds of shops and restaurants, making it an attractive location for businesses in the area.
