For those of us with a few more years under our belt, there comes a time when we start thinking about the next stage in life. Whether the kids are off to college or retirement is just around the corner, many of us shift focus to how we want to live – and where – during this exciting new chapter. Moving into a new home is often the first step, giving you the chance to start fresh in more ways than one.

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. As we look to the future and prepare for new opportunities in the years to come, we are expanding the leadership team to ensure long-term success.

As we head into the new year, we would like to share a letter written to all our homebuyers from McLean Quinn, EYA LLC President. This letter provides insight into the overall state of the homebuilding industry, specifically the impact of supply chain issues and labor shortages, and how the entire EYA team is working to address these challenges.

We are excited to announce that EYA's newest neighborhood, Sutton Heights, will be opening soon for pre-construction sales. Located in the City of Fairfax, VA, this new community will include 50 modern townhomes just moments to shopping, dining and entertainment, and offers easy access to major commuter routes and the Vienna Metro station. Featuring contemporary townhome design and sophisticated interior finishes, Sutton Heights is a place to enjoy modern living at its finest.

The greater DC metro area has a vast array of incredible walking/biking trails. From the scenic Mount Vernon Trail winding along the Potomac River to the leafy Capital Crescent Trail connecting Georgetown to Bethesda, there are many popular trails that provide endless recreation for cyclists and pedestrians and vital paths for commuters who bike to work.
