Bethesda’s EYA, D.C. firm to redevelop Geico campus in Friendship Heights

Bethesda-based townhome developer EYA and real estate firm JM Zell Partners of Washington, D.C., will lead the redevelopment of insurance company Geico’s corporate campus in Friendship Heights, according to an early February community letter from an attorney representing EYA.

In a statement emailed Wednesday to Bethesda Today, Geico said the company has entered an agreement to sell the site to EYA, and the Bethesda developer would lead the project. The agreement marks a “significant step forward” in the transformation of the 26-acre mid-century-style campus at 5260 Western Ave.

Geico said EYA “brings deep expertise” to the project and has a “strong track record of creating walkable, urban communities in Montgomery County.”
