Bethesda, MD, November 16, 2011- Streetsense, an integrated brokerage, design, branding, and development company, has leased and designed a new 12,000 square foot showroom for international luxury tile and home design products retailer Porcelanosa. The showroom at 11500 Rockville Pike in Rockville, MD will host a grand opening on November 17, 2011 with Argentine supermodel Valeria Mazza, celebrity chef Jose Andres, and other invited guests.
Streetsense’s Jeff Pollak and Kelly Silverman represented the landlord in the lease transaction; JBG Retail represented Porcelanosa. Darius Sarraf led the Streetsense team in designing the space.
“Porcelanosa had a prototype showroom design in place, but details and modifications were needed,” said Herb Heiserman, Managing Principal, Streetsense. “We created a contemporary, clean look with a minimalist backdrop that will highlight their tile displays. We added an exterior canopy and other outside enhancements.”
Founded more than 30 years ago in a small Spanish village, Porcelanosa has grown to become a global leader in the innovation, design, manufacture and distribution of tile, kitchen, and bath products for both the architectural and design community as well as homeowners. Today Porcelanosa has more than 400 company-owned showrooms, distribution centers, and retailers in 70 different countries. The 2003 opening of its interactive showroom in New York City was attended by celebrities including John Travolta and Carolina Herrera.
