January 13, 2009
Metro Properties, a real estate development firm located in Bethesda, Maryland that specializes in transit-oriented multifamily and mixed-use developments, partnered with Merrick Towle Communications, Broadway actress Natalie Joy Johnson, currently starring in Legally Blonde the Musical, and Town Danceboutique to present a one-night-only live performance to promote the upcoming opening of their newest building, the Allegro Apartments. Natalie sang eight songs for the crowd, and showcased Allegro’s advertising campaign, location, and features and amenities.
Jeremy Rubenstein, President of Metro Properties, was thrilled with the outcome, and made the following statement: “This event gave us the opportunity to target a part of Allegro’s core community, pique people’s interest in the property and provide a wonderful evening of entertainment at the same time. Natalie was terrific, and a fantastic time was had by all!”
The event took place at Town Danceboutique on January 9th, 2009. Located at 2009 8th St., NW, Town is a Washington Post Editors’ Pick which boasts 20,000 square feet including a custom-built stage, multiple bars and two large dance floors.
