WATERTOWN, NEW YORK November 2, 2017 Washington Street Properties, the areas premier provider
of commercial space and apartments, announced today that they have secured 20 new commercial tenants
over the past year for their buildings in Downtown Watertown. These entrepreneurs and businesses represent
a broad range of services and sizes, but they share a common desire to be in the heart of the City.

This surge in business activity demonstrates that revitalization efforts are taking hold, and there is a growing
awareness of the opportunities and advantages that Downtown has to offer. Companies want to be in a central
locationclose to their customers and business partners, and for a lot of people that makes Downtown the
place to be, said Jess Renzi, Manager of Commercial Leasing. Public Square is also a lot more appealing
than it was in years past, she added. This is a completely different Downtown than it was ten years ago.

In addition to the businesses announced today, Washington Street Properties has been working with some
