We are pleased to share that The Laureate received national recognition by being honored with this year’s Multifamily Executive (MFE) Award of Merit for mixed-income housing. Developed in partnership with EYA, Bozzuto and Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County (HOC), The Laureate is a luxury, mixed-income multifamily building in Rockville, MD offering 268 apartment units and state-of-the-art amenities.

Last week, we celebrated the grand opening of The Laureate, a brand new multifamily building developed in partnership with Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County (HOC) and Bozzuto at Westside at Shady Grove Metro. Located at 8005 Gramercy Blvd in Rockville, The Laureate is the first development ever to utilize the County's innovative Housing Production Fund (HPF).

EYA, Bozzuto and the Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County (HOC) announce they have closed on construction financing for the Hurston, located at EYA’s Westside at Shady Grove Metro (Westside), a transit-oriented, mixed-use neighborhood in Rockville adjacent to the Shady Grove Metro Station. The Hurston is a mixed-use and mixed-income apartment building that marks the latest phase of the 45-acre development. Once complete, the 7-story building will feature 21,000 square feet of street-level retail and 7,400 square feet of office space with 268 amenity-rich apartments above – 81 of which are designated as affordable housing units.

Do you ever get stumped with the, ‘where should we go for dinner’ debate? Pulling out your phone, you google ‘best restaurants in Rockville' with the hope of finding somewhere new to try. After scrolling through an overwhelming list of choices and Yelp reviews, you finally decide to just head out to your favorite go-to spot.

If you love elements of industrial, contemporary and minimalist styles, then the urban modern look may be right for you. An urban modern style stems from cosmopolitan influence—think designer loft in a major city—that fuses together opposing, yet complementary, design elements. It’s not uncommon to see traits of minimalist style, with edgy designs, and a bit of glamor in an urban modern room. However, urban modern design has a softer side than purely industrial or contemporary styles, giving the home a hip yet comfortable and welcoming feel.

Should I move? It's the question nearly every empty nester considers. You might be evaluating the benefits of staying in your longtime home or thinking about making a move to a new home more suited to your current lifestyle. Either way, you're not alone! For many Boomers, older (and often larger) homes no longer suit their needs and moving to a new residence is appealing.
