Each suite is their space and their brand, and we are excited to bring that opportunity to Arlington.”

The building offers modern office space, ground-floor retail, an expansive rooftop deck, a fitness center, secure bicycle storage, electric vehicle charging stations, and convenient access to the neighborhood’s extensive collection of restaurants, shops, and services.

“We are pleased to welcome IMAGE Studios to The Hartford,” said Tim Steffan, Chief Operating Officer of Comstock. “Its entrepreneurial model and focus on beauty, wellness, and personalized service will bring another valuable amenity to the property and the surrounding Clarendon community.
