Dear Friends of EYA, 2021 turned out to be an incredible year. As it began, we were all concerned about what the future would bring. It seemed we had survived the worst of the pandemic, adapted to working remotely, and retooled much of our operations, especially sales, to a virtual world. We were optimistic about the future vaccines and the end of the pandemic. As 2021 progressed, the incredible development of the vaccines and the warm summer months brought a renewed sense of hope for a return to normal. In reality, it turned into a new normal. This new normal included variants that brought back Covid fears and renewed business uncertainty exacerbated by supply chain woes and challenged delivery schedules.

Since 1992, EYA LLC (EYA) has built its name and reputation by introducing innovative, walkable neighborhoods in a variety of urban locations across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

When you first glance at the interior renderings and virtual walk-through videos created for the Townhomes at Graham Park, it may take a minute to realize these images are digital, and not a fully built and furnished model home. Like many homebuyers who are purchasing a new construction home, the product is often made available for sale months before a model home is built. At EYA, it's a priority to showcase our homes so we can simplify the process for home shoppers and boost their understanding of the overall site as well as the home's living spaces and finishes. It all starts with the EYA architecture team. Applying years of design experience and attention to detail, combined with a thoughtful understanding of buyer preferences and modern lifestyles, the result is a set of high-quality digital tours that help buyers virtually envision their next new home. "We're dedicated to building beautiful new homes in thoughtfully designed communities, and this commitment runs throughout every project from start to finish." - Jack McLaurin, AIA, Senior VP of Planning & Design (EYA)
