OSI

OSI is the oldest continuously operated business center under one ownership in Washington DC, having started under the corporation entitled Washington Office, Inc, in 1981.

The company was initially organized to provide Washington support services for out-of-town attorneys, by C. Jack Pearce. Pearce is an anti-trust attorney who served in the United States Department of Justice and the White House Office of Consumer Affairs , prior to entering private practice. It soon became clear that the support services were useful for Washington Area attorneys as well as attorneys from more outside the area.

Pearce’s next logical step was to invite firms of other types to use the office support systems. Since that time OSI has paced and lead office evolution in the United States. Today, OSI serves businesses of all types needing downtown temporary and shared office support, from start-ups to well established companies; small to substantial.
