Dear Compass Colleague: Greetings from your Nation’s Capital. We hope this find you and your family, safe, healthy and well. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce our team to you. Trevor and I are two of the founding members of Compass Virginia in the DMV and have been with the company for four plus years. We love working for Compass and appreciate all the opportunities allowing us to grow our business and to meet and collaborate with our fellow agents across the country. As market leaders in our region, we want to establish a solid relationship with you and offer our services to assist you and your clients that are relocating to the Washington Metropolitan region. The Washington Metropolitan region includes not only Washington, DC, but Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. Washington’s prominence on the world stage as the capital of the United States is well known, but to conclude Washington’s story there would be incomplete. The Washington Metropolitan area is a leader in the fields of high-tech and biotech. It is also prominent in the telecommunications and banking industries and has a higher than average rate of new business start-ups. Our region is also home to some of America’s largest companies, including Amazon’s new HQ2, Capital One, Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, Lockheed Martin and Nestles US Headquarters, to name a few. Washington has a pulse and beat way beyond government. Combined, all these elements constitute a diverse and dynamic place to call home. We both feel privileged, along with our respective families, to call Washington, DC, home and are proud to call ourselves Washingtonians. The changes and additions to our region continue to be stunning and dramatic. The regentrification of Washington’s neighborhoods has completely transformed the city and ushered in thousands of new residents and businesses. During the pandemic, the Washington area is seeing a massive influx of buyers from New York, New Jersey, California, and all points in between. As many employers are not requiring employees to work from the office, many have decided to leave other areas for our region. We expect this trend to continue. In that spirit, if you have clients moving to our region, it would be our honor to assist them in finding that perfect home. No one knows our city and region better. Warm Regards, John Eric | Trevor Moore

IT ONLY TAKES A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR A NEW RESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TO ENCOUNTER THE NAME PIERRE L’ENFANT.

Many Washingtonians bandy about his name as if they knew him from way back when. But, how much do we really know about Pierre L’Enfant? Pierre Charles L’Enfant was born on August 9, 1754, in Anet, Eune et Loire to an aristocratic family. L’Enfant studied at the Royal Academy of the Louvre until making his way to America at the age of 22, after being recruited by Pierre Agustin Caron de Beaumarchais to join the American army during the Revolutionary War. L’Enfant served with George Washington at Valley Forge and befriended the first President. It was George Washington that confirmed L’Enfant’s appointment as the architect of the America’s nascent capital. The architect arrived in Georgetown on March 9, 1791, and began his work from the Suter’s Fountain Inn. He drafted a plan that would be both unique and practical, utilizing undeveloped land to create a system of streets and parks meant to distinguish this capital from all others. L’Enfant’s plan featured ceremonial spaces and grand radial patterns of avenues, while highlighting the natural contours of the land. Underneath this pattern, a traditional grid-like design would provide

functionality to the city’s new citizens. Together, they created a spectacular array of architectural planning. L’Enfant designated the two most important sites of the city to be the placements of the Congress and the Executive Mansion. The “Congress House” would be erected on Jenkins Hill and the “President’s House” located on a ridge parallel to the Potomac River. From these, he specified that the avenues should radiate outwards. These grand avenues would be named after the newly created states. Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia would be the first avenues of the new capital. On his plan, L’Enfant shaded and numbered fifteen large, open spaces. These spaces were found at the intersections of the grand avenues and would feature statues and memorials to honor citizens. Among those to be featured were McPherson Square, Farragut Square, Washington Circle, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Scott Circle and Pershing Park.

One of the only aspects of the original plan that failed was the site of what is now the National Mall. Originally, L’Enfant had envisioned the area as a “grand avenue,” not a park. He laid out a 400 foot-wide, garden-lined avenue, that would be 1 mile long and run on an east-west axis. Pennsylvania Avenue took the place of this “grand avenue” and the National Mall filled its stead. At the instigation of Jean Jules Jusserand, a French ambassador to the United States, L’Enfant’s adopted nation recognized his contributions. In 1909, after lying in state in the Capitol rotunda, L’Enfant’s remains were re-interred at Arlington National Cemetery, on a hill overlooking the city that he had designed. The name of Pierre L’Enfant daily rings through this city. His contributions, not only to the District of Columbia but to the United States, are those that should be honored.

BIKE METRO Another convenient mode of transportation found throughout the area is The Capital Bike Share program. It offers thousands of bikes at over 500 stations located conveniently throughout Washington, Arlington, Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland.

Walking to work, running errands or meeting up with friends for an evening out -- in Washington, social activities can be enjoyed with or without a car.

DC Rising:

Up, Up and Away… The DC Region is growing up!

The View at Tysons

The Washington, DC Metropolitan Region building boom continues. And, unless you’ve been asleep, it’s hard to miss all the building cranes dotting the skyline in DC, Arlington, Bethesda, Tysons and so many other areas. DC has suffered from the same problem that Los Angeles suffered from early on, the city grew out before it grew up. So first off, let me come clean, I’m a skyscraper fan, always have been and always will be. So, living in DC gives me a height complex. Whether you like it or not, change is coming and I for one, couldn’t be happier. Our area has some amazing architecture in the classic buildings that shape and form our city. However, most of K Street and other business corridors in DC have always suffered from boring buildings and big boxy structures.

I’ve never understood why world capitals that are considerably older than DC, like London, Paris, Berlin, and Beijing, can welcome and embrace change and we can’t. These cities struggle with population density issues just like us and look for the best ways to maximize density. These cities are not afraid to mix the old with the new to create dynamic structures that live right next door to hundred year old ones. London welcomed the tallest building in the Europe Union in 2012 with The Shard. The Shard stands an impressive 87 stories and doesn’t compete with the skyline of London, it enhances it. I visited The Shard last October and WOW! It is truly stunning and has fostered a new building boom in London. So, while we don’t have buildings that tall yet, we are about to see an explosion of ever

increasingly tall buildings in our region. It’s nice to see our area and the regional governments embrace DC’s ability to grow up. Here are few of the buildings coming to our region:

Rosslyn Plaza

Amazon’s move into Arlington is not just a booster for the local economy, it is bringing large-scale investment from academic institutions too. Virginia Tech has announced that it is in planning to open a new $1 billion campus at the new HQ2. The 1-million-square-foot Virginia Tech Innovation Campus will be situated at “National Landing” and will include Crystal City as well as parts of Pentagon City and Potomac Yard across the Arlington border in Alexandria. This project of building a higher education package in this area is cited as a key reason that Amazon chose NoVa for its 2nd HQ. (Richmond Times Dispatch)

Amazon’s New HQ2 Headquarters

Rosslyn Plaza 7.65-acre superblock located in Arlington. Five new buildings spanning more than 2.5M SF to include 4 office buildings and 2 residential. The View at Tysons The Iconic Tower will rise 48 stories The Apex Upon completion will be Bethesda’s tallest building at 25 Stories.

The Apex

DC F UN FAC TS

1 The Forest Glen Metro station is 21 stories deep. So deep, that an escalator link to the mezzanine could not be built. Instead, a bank of six elevators provides the only exit from the platform level.

Washington icon Old Ebbitt Grill is the city’s oldest bar and restaurant, and though it has relocated twice -- most recently to 15th Street, two blocks from the White House in 1983 -- many of the original spot’s artifacts, including taxidermy and gas lamps, made the move.

Two American Presidents kept alligators at the White House. Both Herbert Hoover and John Quincy Adams had pet alligators while occupying the White House.

When it was completed in 1884, the Washington Monument was the tallest structure in the world. It was soon surpassed by the Eiffel Tower and numerous other buildings have eclipsed it since.

More wine is consumed per person in Washington, DC than any state in the United States.

DC averages 39 inches of rainfall a year—more than Seattle.

THE WASHINGTON AREA IS HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE COUNTRY. FOLLOWING ARE PROFILES OF SOME OF ITS FINEST… CLARENDON, VA

Clarendon provides both convenience and pleasure. The area hosts not only big-name shops and stores such as Whole Foods, Lululemon, Barnes and Noble, Williams Sonoma and Apple, but a sundry of smaller mom-and-pop shops such as Revolution Cycle and South Moon Under. Big name restaurants and eateries dot the neighborhood, as do local haunts like Liberty Tavern. All combine together to create a shopper’s dream and an eating paradise. Clarendon also boasts a wide assortment of communities. Family-friendly Lyon Park and Lyon Village are filled with single family homes. The residential areas near the Clarendon Metro are hip and cutting edge. These knitted neighborhoods form a tapestry of residents that are quite proud of their village and yearly exhibit this pride with flair. Clarendon Day is held every October and features live music, unique vendors, children’s games and rides. It also hosts the Arlington Neighborhood Day Parade, the CSC Invitational (one of the largest professional and amateur bicycle races in the United States), a Mardi Gras Parade and Tax Blues Night.

BETHESDA, MD

Bethesda is home to the headquarters of multinational and domestic powerhouses. Lockheed Martin and Coventry Healthcare are based here. Bethesda Row, a trendy and hip shopping area in the neighborhood, features such shops as Apple, Aveda, LuluLemon and dozens of other shops and boutiques. Dining is never an issue in the neighborhood. From high end establishments like Bistro Provence to fun and inexpensive Tastee Diner, the neighborhood offers tons of restaurants pleasing a wide palette of tastes. A plethora of Starbucks is found here as are staples such as CVS, Giant and Whole Foods stores. They intermix with local coffee, dry cleaning, stylists, doctors, dentists and CPA firms. Of course, Bethesda is also home to the Congressional Country Club. This course is recognized as one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. It has hosted four major golf championships, including the 2011 US Open.

LOGAN CIRCLE, WASHINGTON DC

When approaching Logan Circle, one can’t help but notice the double house which is designed in the Second Empire style. Built in 1880, Nos. 1 & 2 Logan Circle occupy the most prominent position on the Circle. This residence was part of a scheme authorized by then Mayor Alexander Shepherd, who encouraged full development of the city. But, it is not just that building that creates the character of the neighborhood. Beautiful residences fill the streets and create both a visually charming and sophisticated neighborhood. Two of the distinguishing characteristics of Logan Circle are the buildings and townhouses themselves. They, individually and in groups, occupy irregularly shaped lots and frontages created by the system of streets and alleyways that do not form a grid. It is their seamless unity that emphasize the time and scale in and of which they were built. Logan Circle is considered one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Washington, DC. The neighborhood is full of diverse and interesting shops and restaurants. Local theaters and Whole Foods are landmarks of the area. A proliferation of art galleries and Mom and Pop shops, such as Logan Hardware intermingle with national chains, such as Aveda, Lululemon and Starbucks, all vying for the well-heeled customers that cruise the local sidewalks. A plethora of restaurants are right outside of the old Victorian’s doors, offering myriad choices in dining.

LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS OF WASHINGTON, DC AS THE MODEL OF MONOTONOUS LIVING. THE CITY IS ALIVE WITH A CULTURE THAT IS BECOMING WORLD-RENOWNED AND ENJOYED BY RESIDENTS, BOTH YOUNG AND OLD.

Local theaters such as Source and venerable theaters such as The Kennedy Center host nightly performances with packed audiences. The Fringe Festival, held every summer, draws in thousands of spectators while the world-renowned Shakespeare Company performs its annual Free-For-All each August. But, it isn’t just theater that draws the crowds. Music choices are abundant too. Top 40 pop artists entertain at the Verizon Center, the classical notes of the National Symphony Orchestra inspire at the Kennedy Center and smoky jazz singers are found at clubs throughout the city. Art rages on the cultural scene as well. Of course, Washington is home to some of the best museums and galleries in the world. These museums host both exhibitions, special events and lectures that draw every age group. But, it’s also home to a great number of small private galleries, such as Gallery Plan B, and small museums with amazing collections such as The Phillips Collection.

For those more sports minded, the Washington area is home to five professional sports teams. It’s impossible to ever be bored. The Nationals (baseball), the Washington Football Team (football), the Capitals (hockey), the Wizards (basketball) and DC United (soccer) all have legions of Washingtonians supporting their teams. And the festivals….. every year, Adam’s Morgan Day has thousands of attendees wandering around the neighborhood enjoying good food and great music. Chinese New Year finds throngs of spectators crowding the streets watching dragon dances. And, the Fourth of July finds Washington hosting millions of people on the National Mall. Part of Washington’s charm is its status as an international, cosmopolitan city. The area has long been a magnet for people from other countries, but never more so than today. More than 1 in 7 residents of the metropolitan area were born outside the United States. Many embassies host events for the public and many Washingtonians respond. Washingtonians enjoy everything from theater to restaurants, from festivals to international events. The culture of the city is definitely one to enjoy.
