Summit, a leading provider of sophisticated data analysis to Federal government agencies as well as private-sector clients, announces today that it has opened a 4,160-square-foot office at 718 7th St. NW. In the midst of a significant staff expansion, Summit relocated to a bigger home in Washington, DC to provide it with ample room to continue hiring new professionals.
The firm also has the option to occupy an additional 1,600 square feet at 718 7th St. NW. The new space represents a square-footage increase of approximately 43 percent from the company’s previous office at 626 E St. NW. Anthony Curcio, a Principal at Summit and leader of its Modeling and Forecasting Practice, says that the firm looked at alternatives throughout Washington but wanted to remain in the city.
The larger space – which features a highly collaborative, open architecture environment – may accommodate up to 50 professionals, and even more than that if the firm exercises its option to further expand, Curcio says. Ultimately, company executives decided on 718 7th St. NW because of the building’s easy access to Metro for the firm’s work force, its historic quality, and its proximity to clients.
Currently, Summit has 44 employees. It hired 14 people last year and eight so far this year, and the firm plans to bring on board another five to seven workers by the end of 2012, Curcio says, noting that the company’s new staff members have both graduate and undergraduate degrees in various quantitative fields.
“Our clients are demanding more of what we are already providing them, and, as they learn of other targeted capabilities that we have, they expand their scope of work into these additional areas,” he says. “We are focused on providing the best in client service and hiring the best people to deliver it. If we do that, responsible growth will take care of itself.”
Summit’s clients have included, among others, Fannie Mae, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Freddie Mac, the National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs.
