Distinctive towers recognized by WiredScore for offering their well-known tenants the most advanced tech capabilities

WiredScore announced today that The Towers have both received Platinum Wired Certifications, making them the first buildings in Virginia to achieve the highest internet connectivity ranking available. They join more than 40 Wired Certified buildings in the Washington, D.C. area, further establishing Northern Virginia as a top player in innovation and technology.

“The Northern Virginia area has recently seen a heavy influx of tech companies and startups as more DC area-businesses look outside the District for prime office space,” said Arie Barendrecht, CEO and co-founder of WiredScore. “As a result, we’re seeing leading office buildings in the area seeking to stand out by having the cutting-edge tech infrastructure that today’s businesses look for.”

Located at 1000 and 1100 Wilson Blvd and owned by Monday Properties, The Towers offer unobstructed DC views of Washington DC monument core, first-class amenities, and high-speed Internet capabilities have all played a role in attracting some of their most well-known clients, including POLITICO, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Grant Thornton, Sands Capital Management and PWC.

“Monday has a proven track record of making wise investments and identifying unique opportunities.” said Tim Helmig, president and chief operating officer of Monday Properties. “Offering premier technology has been critical to ensuring we provide the best experience for our tenants and has played an integral role in distinguishing our properties as the best in Northern Virginia for businesses across sectors. Receiving the Wired Certification underscores our commitment to provide premier properties with unparalleled amenities to our tenants and investors.”

In order to achieve Wired Certification, properties must meet a rigorous set of standards developed in conjunction with the top minds in the telecom and commercial real estate industries. The Towers’ Platinum ranking recognizes the twin properties as among the elite office buildings across the globe in terms of connectivity and Internet reliability.
