We are kicking off Earth Week with the exciting announcement of a new rooftop beehive at 1700 New York.

Bees are an important part of urban biodiversity, as they bring nature back into the city, improve plant health, and support natural growth cycles across our local ecosystem. With a growing network of pollinators across our portfolio, we are excited to welcome another colony to its new home.

We are committed to advancing the sustainability of the built environment by continuing to build spaces where people and nature can thrive together.

What an incredible night at our 7th Annual Carr Cares Benefit Concert! Together, we raised over $412,000 in support of Washington Jesuit Academy and Washington School for Girls — two schools dedicated to advancing educational opportunities for students in Washington, DC through their all‑scholarship programs.

Last Thursday featured a soulful live performance by Grammy‑nominated Memphis-based band Southern Avenue, along with powerful messages from alumni speakers Darryl Johnson Jr. (WJA) and London Hall (WGS), who shared how their schools have positively shaped their lives and careers today.
