White Flint District: Federal Realty Offers Deals to Renters Who Work Near Pike & Rose

First set of residences will be available in May

People who work near the Pike & Rose community in the White Flint district are being offered incentives—discounts on rent, waived fees—to live near their jobs.

Under a what’s being called a “Preferred Employer Program,” those interested leasing at PerSei—a 174-apartment development expected to start leasing in May—could be offered waived fees and security deposits and $250 off the first month rent if they live close by, Federal Realty Investment Trust announced in a news release Monday.

Also, the first five employees from the same business who sign leases at PerSei will receive a 1 percent monthly discount. Discounts increase to 2 percent if between six and 10 employees sign leases and caps out at 3 percent if as many as 15 employees sign leases.
