On June 6 the
D.C. Bar broke ground on its new headquarters at 901 4th Street NW in the Mount Vernon Triangle
neighborhood. The groundbreaking was attended by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D.C.
Bar leaders, members of the judiciary and D.C. legal community, the project's development
and architectural firms, and representatives from the MVTCID.
Bar
President Tim Webster delivered opening remarks welcoming the crowd to the future
location of the Bar's new headquarters, which is slated to open by early 2018. Additional remarks were delivered by Incoming Bar President Annamaria
Steward, Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District President and CEO
Kenyattah Robinson, and SunTrust Bank President Dan O'Neill, among others, expressing
their excitement for the Bar.
Mayor Bowser praised the Bar's
achievements and congratulated the Bar's leadership, the developers, and the Mount
Vernon Triangle neighborhood on their bold new step for the D.C. legal
community and the District of Columbia.
Then, Mayor Bowser, Benitez, Robinson,
Steward, and Webster later were joined by the Bar's Chief Executive Officer
Katherine A. Mazzaferri, Chief Operating Officer Victor Velazquez, and others donning
hardhats and holding shovels as they made the ceremonial first dig.
This project is a very important for the future of both DC Bar and for the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood. I think that all who attended agree that this is a win-win for both. You can follow Badwolfdc for more on this as they project progresses or keep tabs at the
