Data center infrastructure firm QTS Data Centers has signed a 77,000-square-foot lease deal at one of the office properties within Comstock Holding Cos. Inc.’s Reston Station, in Reston, Va. QTS will establish its headquarters at the 335,200-square-foot office building, occupying the entre 11th, 12th and 13th floors.

Developed by Comstock and brought online in 2024, Reston Station is a multi-building development featuring office, residential, retail and hospitality properties spanning on a 90-acre site around the Wiehle-Reston East metro station.

The office building housing QTS’ headquarters is at 1800 Reston Station Plaza. The newest tenant will join Google, Booz Allen Hamilton, ICF International and CARFAX in the roster, as well as commercial property insurance FM Global, which signed a 32,000-square-foot lease at Reston Station last year.

Reston Station is just off Virginia State Route 267, which connects the area to downtown Washington, D.C. and Dulles International Airport, some 21.5 miles southeast and 5 miles west, respectively.

D.C. office metrics display uncertainty

As of June, Washington, D.C.’s average office listing rate dropped 1.7 percent year-over-year, clocking in at $40.62 per square foot. The figure stood below the values registered by other gateway markets, including Los Angeles ($48.38 per square foot), Boston ($47.85 per square foot) and Manhattan ($72.02 per square foot), but above the metrics recorded by Chicago ($28.39 per square foot). During the same month, the office vacancy rate in the U.S. capital dropped 50 basis points on a trailing 12-month basis to 19.3 percent, yet stood higher than the national figure of 17.7 percent, according to a recent Yardi Matrix report.

In one of the largest deals in the metro in the first half of the year, international law firm White & Chase committed to 196,000 square feet at 1701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. The company will occupy 12 floors at Grosvenor’s property starting in 2029.
