Friendship Commons

EYA - a leader in large-scale urban infill development in the DMV - is reimagining the former GEICO campus at 5260 Western Avenue as a vibrant, mixed-use residential community that will transform an underutilized office site into a connected neighborhood hub in the heart of Friendship Heights. The initial phase envisions over 500 new homes, including townhomes, condominiums and apartments, alongside expansive open spaces, community-serving retail, enhanced pedestrian and bicycle connections, and a revitalized Brookdale Park.

The overall vision, which includes a future second phase along the Friendship Boulevard & Western Avenue frontages, prioritizes walkability, community gathering spaces, and seamless integration with surrounding neighborhoods—creating a place that supports both current residents and future generations.
