The first residents accepted their key from the Mayor. Get yours soon!
Mayor Muriel Bowser cut the ribbon to open Tri Pointe Homes’ Brookland Grove community earlier this month before an audience of city council members, Tri Pointe officials, and the first two residents of the 60-dwelling development who were pleased to receive the ceremonial house key from the mayor.
The mayor, who identified as “a proud native of Ward 5,” which is Brookland Grove’s district, said she was pleased to attend the February 2 ribbon cutting to “celebrate these new arrivals for home ownership opportunities.”
It’s been a busy month for the new three- and four-level townhome development located at 436 Holmwood Drive NE, adjacent to the Brookland neighborhood. More than 150 guests attended the grand opening brunch hosted on February 4, which was catered by chef Jen Logan, who has worked with internationally renowned chefs Patrick O’Connell at The Inn at Little Washington and Jose Andres at Café Atlantico, minibar and Zaytinya.
While we’re dropping names, one of the big draws to the Brookland Grove launch was the unveiling of the model homes, the Edgewood and the Whitlow, which boast interiors by design expert and Emmy-nominated TV host Bobby Berk, one of the innovative designers in Netflix’s Queer Eye design show.
“When designing at Brookland Grove, I drew inspiration from the surrounding neighborhood, which is known for its artistic vibe, historic tree-lined streets, and plenty of green spaces,” says Berk. “The interiors at Edgewood and Whitlow provide stunning neutrals and warm, inviting elements akin to indoor/outdoor living.”
Tri Pointe Homes was named 2019 “Builder of the Year” by Builder and Developer Magazine. The new homes range from 2,086-square-feet to 2,169-square-feet, with three or four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 baths. Rooftop terraces are available and one- and two-car garage parking is included. Prices begin in the mid-$800s.Residents to the community will discover inspired living near shopping, dining, and Metro at Brookland-CUA on the Red Line.
“I’d like to give a special thanks to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for attending our ribbon cutting ceremony and doing the honors of kicking off the Grand Opening of Brookland Grove,” said Brad Blank, president of Tri Pointe Homes D.C. Metro Division. “Brookland Grove marks an exciting milestone for Tri Pointe Homes as our entrance into Washington, D.C., and we are thrilled with the response from prospective homeowners. We invite everyone to come tour our new decorated models and experience Life-Changing Design at Brookland Grove.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
