AdvantEdge Workspaces began in 1988 as Washington Executive Services, Inc. with one business center in Washington, DC’s West End. In 1990, Founder and CEO, Prakash Gavri, acquired an office suite at the Chevy Chase Pavilion and created Chevy Chase Executive Services, Inc. In 2004 we combined our two business centers under the AdvantEdge Business Centers brand, and in the spring of 2012, we added a third Downtown DC location at 2101 L Street NW. The Spring of 2016 marked a milestone in our business history as we added an additional 23,000 sq ft of space at our Downtown DC location and retired the use of our West End location. With our 30th Anniversary quickly approaching, we took the leap in 2017 to rebrand ourselves as AdvantEdge Workspaces to reflect the ever-expanding diversity of workspace and business support options that we offer.
Our management team has over 80 years of combined experience in the executive suite and workspace industry, and we specialize in providing exceptional and customized service to our clients. AdvantEdge does not have an excessively bureaucratic structure, and this allows our staff to make quick, on-the-spot decisions. The fact that many of our tenants have been with us for upwards of 20 years illustrates the superior customer service that we provide.

No, an office with AdvantEdge actually tends to cost less than conventional office space. AdvantEdge Workspaces is a full-service workspace in Washington, DC, which offers many amenities that you won’t find in conventional offices. In a traditional leasing situation, you pay not only for the square footage you occupy but also to build out, furnish, and equip the space. In addition, you will have monthly payments for utilities and maintenance, cleaning services, reception services, and so forth. At AdvantEdge, we offer full-service, all-inclusive offices. The monthly rent includes many amenities and services in addition to the physical space.

What is the difference between a virtual office and a full-time office?
Why should I choose a virtual office package with AdvantEdge?
How will my business be visible at the location?
What does the receptionist service include?
What if I miss a call or am unavailable to take it?
What about conference room and office use? How does that work?
Absolutely! We provide flexible options with a variety of different offices and private suites to grow with your business at any time. Because our virtual office packages operate on month-to-month terms we can easily help you move into a full-service private office whenever you are ready.

A virtual office offers many of the same amenities as a full-time office, but without the full-time office space or the full-time price. At AdvantEdge, we offer our virtual office clients full-time services including professional telephone reception during business hours, a personal phone number, voicemail, 24-hour building access, a prestigious Washington, DC mailing address, incoming mail distribution, and allotted conference room/office use. This allows our virtual office clients to present a professional corporate image in a beautiful and sophisticated setting without assuming the costs of a full-time office.
