JOOLA is set to relocate its corporate headquarters to 915 Meeting St. in North Bethesda, Md., by late 2024. The table tennis and pickleball company will occupy a total of 35,407 square feet at the Pike & Rose office building owned by Federal Realty Investment Trust. Transwestern represented the tenant, while JLL negotiated on behalf of the landlord.

JOOLA’s future North Bethesda footprint will comprise its corporate headquarters, currently at 2101 Gaither Road in Rockville, Md., alongside street-level retail space and a pickleball studio space. The firm joins a tenant roster including Choice Hotels International Inc. and Sodexo.

Federal Realty broke ground on the 276,000-square-foot trophy office building in 2021 and topped it out in 2023. Clark Construction served as general contractor, while Gensler provided architecture services.

The recently completed property is part of Pike & Rose, a 24-acre mixed-use neighborhood featuring 558,000 square feet of office space, 260,000 square feet of laboratory space and more than 400,000 square feet of retail and entertainment, together with a 177-key hotel and 864 residential units.

The 16-story building at 915 Meeting St. is pursuing LEED Gold certification. The property features flexible floorplates measuring up to 25,000 square feet and 10,000 square feet of retail, as well as 700 dedicated parking spaces.

Amenities include a rooftop conference center equipped with collaborative common areas, a gym, an outdoor terrace, as well as private terraces on multiple floors, secured bicycle storage, a dedicated outdoor air system and destination-dispatch elevators.

Located across the street from White Flint Metro Station, 915 Meeting St. is less than 3 miles from interstates 270 and 495. Downtown Washington, D.C., is roughly 12 miles south.
