Sub-lease opportunity: share Smart Growth America’s downtown D.C. office (2026)

By Smart Growth America, January 28, 2026

Come join Smart Growth America (SGA) in a high-quality office at 1350 I “Eye” Street NW, next to Franklin Square and the McPherson Square Metro station. SGA is seeking subletters to share space within the office and can offer both cubicles and private offices, with high-quality shared meeting spaces available in both the office and the building. SGA is seeking commitments of at least one year or up to 9 years and will prioritize organizations interested in a higher number of deskspaces.

SGA is a national non-profit organization advancing policy change in transportation and land use to create thriving, well-connected communities. The office is already home to multiple organizations active in advocacy related to the built environment. SGA is open to discussion around the number and configuration of offices or desk spaces to sublease. SGA would also be open to discussing creative approaches for a sub-lease, such as sharing space on alternative days in the office through a hybrid schedule.
