Tracking our progress
At WashREIT, our commitments to environmental, social, and governance programs and policies helped us create safe environments for residents and employees and maintain quality of life in our multifamily and office buildings. While navigating the pandemic our company has also embarked on a major transformation—shifting from serving office tenants, retailers, and residents to focusing solely on those residents and creating value in the communities we own.
