(Washington, DC) On Thursday, October 21, at 11am, Mayor Muriel Bowser and community members will celebrate the groundbreaking of two new residential buildings, Kite House and 1155 Dahlia Street, and recognize the construction progress on the Walter Reed Marketplace. When complete, the Walter Reed Marketplace will consist of a Whole Foods, new apartment units, and other retail space.

The groundbreaking represents a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the 66-acre former Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus in Northwest Washington. The Parks at Walter Reed redevelopment is the result of a successful community-driven process led by then-Councilmember Bowser and now by Mayor Bowser. In 2016, the U.S. Army officially transferred 66-acres of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus to the District, making way for the development of The Parks at Walter Reed.
