On Sunday, we were delighted to host a grand opening event for the brand new community playground at Michigan Park. Community members gathered to meet both long-time residents and new neighbors while children enjoyed the new playground equipment. Local dignitaries, including DC Deputy Mayor John Falcicchio and ANC representatives Colleen Costello and Emily Lucio, officially opened the new playground with a warm welcome and ribbon cutting.

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)
