We are excited to announce that EYA has been named a 2024 Top Workplace by The Washington Post! As a company, we are especially thrilled with this honor as selection is based solely on employee feedback and satisfaction. Feedback is gathered through an anonymous third-party survey in categories ranging from workplace culture and connection to employee development and innovation. We are proud that our employees enjoy the work they do, feel valued and appreciated, and have a strong sense of camaraderie and connection with each other.

On Saturday, we were thrilled to welcome over 450 guests to our Preview Event for The Brownstones at Westbard Square!

Watch an event recap video below and hear from the first homebuyer at Westbard Square.

Happy Earth Day! Celebrated annually on April 22nd, Earth Day is a great opportunity to reflect on our individual and collective impact on the environment and evaluate the choices we make in our daily lives, including where and how we live. EYA thinks green not only when it comes to where and how we build, but also how our homeowners will live. This includes building neighborhoods in close-in locations with easy access to transit and open green spaces, environmentally-friendly home features and more. We understand our environmental footprint is not only measured in our actions, but also in the communities and lifestyles we foster for our homeowners.

Hear what he had to say below.
