tion, a partnership led by Quadrangle, won the right to develop the site. The 1.6 million square feet of National Place includes the 774-room J.W. Marriott, twin office buildings with a total of 417,000 square feet, Rouse's retail wizardry incorporated into a 150,000-square-foot shopping area, and the historic 1,700-seat National Theater. Completed in 1984, it is perhaps Quadrangle's best known work.
Quadrangle's success didn't end with National Place. The company soon developed a second mixed-use project not far away, the 950-room Grand Hyatt Hotel with the adjoining Washington Center office complex.
Other projects completed by Quadrangle during the past decade include: A 156,000-square-foot office building at 1400 L St. NW; a 220,000-square-foot office building at 901 E St. NW; 1709 New York Ave. NW; 1919 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; a 285,000-square-foot buildin!

has three buildings on 12 acres off Sunrise Valley Drive and the Dulles Access Road in Reston. Last October Quadrangle started work on a 100,000-square-foot speculative building at 1600 International Dr. in Tysons Corner. Quadrangle has also expanded into Maryland, with the 212-acre Quince Orchard Corporate Park in Gaithersburg off Interstate 270.
The Washington Post rated Quadrangle as the area's 15th largest private company. The company has topped the $1 billion mark in developments. Founded in 1969 by Robert Gladstone, its president, the company has an annual revenue of $278 million and around 200 employees.
Creating an efficient communications system for a corporation of this size was challenging. Several years ago Quadrangle installed low-power repeater systems that a!
