Canadian brand Arc'teryx to open fourth U.S. store

Washington, D.C. --Canadian outdoor brand Arc'teryx will open its first East Coast location, and fourth in the U.S., in CityCenterDC, downtown Washington, D.C.'s new mixed-use development.



"We aspire to expand into North American cities that reflect the active, adventurous and discerning lifestyle that our company encourages," said Adam Ketcheson, VP and senior director of marketing and business-to-consumer at Arc'teryx. "We believe Washington, D.C., residents share that ethos for quality and craftsmanship, while the city is proximate to some of the best outdoor experiences the East Coast has to offer."



Arc'teryx plans to open its 3,100-sq.-ft. store in CityCenterDC on the corner of H and 11 Streets NW on Dec. 13. The neighboring retailers include German fashion label BOSS, Burberry and French handbag maker Longchamp. Hermès, Louis Vuitton and David Yurman have recently signed leases at the development.

Newmark Grubb Knight Frank Retail senior managing director Edward Goldmeier and managing director Matthew Cooper represented the retailer in the transaction.



CityCenterDC is a transit- and pedestrian-oriented urban development in the heart of Washington, D.C. Developed by Hines and Qatari Diar to Gold LEED standard, the 10-acre project begun in 2011 will, upon completion, will feature 295,000 sq. ft. of retail, 674 condos and apartments, 515,000 sq. ft. of office space, 350 hotel rooms and ample public space. It is conveniently located near the area's most visited cultural destinations, two of the city's busiest Metro stations and the convention center.
