BKV Group: Washington DC City Guide

prelude.

Since being founded in 1978, BKV Group has lived up to our mission of “enriching lives and strengthening communities” – throughout the Twin Cities and outstate area. Locally, we are described as “the best kept secret in town” – not because of praise we often preclude ourselves from, but because of the steady amount of influential work we’ve completed, and our committed focus to achieving the highest level of client satisfaction possible.

The Midwest portfolio of BKV Group goes wide and deep over the past 40 years because as one of the very few “one stop shops” in Minnesota, we uniquely leverage a holistic set of services (architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, engineering, and construction administration) to craft a depth of project experience within housing (market-rate, senior, student, affordable, creative reuse, and high-rise), government (municipal, county, state, police, fire, city hall, library, jails and courts), education, corporate, and commercial design.

Creatively, BKV Group’s design teams share knowledge across practice groups and geographies to create relevant and meaningful design solutions that allow our clients’ dreams to become a reality. Innovation and sustainability lie at the heart of what drives our company, creating notable and lasting projects.

When asked why our clients value BKV Group, they tell us:

“It’s because you really care – about us, the project and our community. It’s the passion you bring to your work every day!”

our city.

Situated along the Potomac River, Georgetown is a historic neighborhood within the larger Washington, D.C. region. Founded in 1751, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington, and has since emerged as one of the foremost entertainment districts in northwest D.C.

The beauty of Georgetown’s cobblestone sidewalks, grand homes, and peaceful C&O Canal are only part of the draw to this tree-lined historic neighborhood. As home to some of the city’s top shops, tastiest restaurants, and most luxurious hotels, Georgetown is a favorite of tourists and locals.

Georgetown is also home to the main campus of Georgetown University and features some of the oldest, unchanged buildings in D.C. throughout its city grid, including Dumbarton House and the Old Stone House. While carefully maintaining its foundational structures, character, and spirit, Georgetown is thriving in it’s present state as a home to many politicians and lobbyists, in addition to the embassies of Cameroon, France, Kosovo, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, Ukraine, and Venezuela. Thus, this iconic, American district has evolved into a highly international and commercial destination, helping to define Washington D.C.’s future.
