Throughout Mayor Bowser’s leadership, we've witnessed the transformation of Walter Reed — from the federal land acquisition to delivering new housing, retail, and community amenities that strengthen Ward 4. Yesterday, we celebrated the next chapter for Walter Reed: new homeownership and family‑sized housing on the campus.
With National Homeownership Month underway this June, we’re proud to take another step toward creating more opportunities for Washingtonians to build generational wealth and raise their families right here in DC. Thank you to the DMPED real estate team, past and present, whose dedication has driven this work forward!

Matters Graph is growing in DC. Last year, the company opened its Dupont Circle headquarters with support from Mayor Bowser’s Vitality Fund, after outgrowing five offices in nine years.
Founder and Senior Partner Mark Stein says choosing Washington, DC was a no-brainer for the firm that advises private equity and M&A teams. Matters Graph’s success shows why DC remains the place to grow business, build a life, and a future.
