The Vale is located at 6800 Georgia Ave. NW and will be the first new multi-family rental building in The Parks at Walter Reed ("The Parks"), a 66-acre master plan mixed-use redevelopment building for the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Vale was developed by a joint venture between Hines, Urban Atlantic and Triden Development, the same team responsible for redesigning The Parks.
"The Vale brings new residences to a major metropolitan area served by public transportation and near business centers and services, attributes that reflect the community focus of the CIM Group," said Shaul Kuba, co-founder and director of the CIM Group. "In addition, The Vale is in a well-used historic redevelopment designed to create a walkable environment with plenty of outdoor communal spaces and a variety of new commercial uses that we believe will be attractive environments for residents."

Residents have access to an array of amenities, including a fitness center, indoor / outdoor yoga studio, club room, secure bike parking, a courtyard with cabanas, and a saltwater pool. Primrose Schools, an accredited early childhood and childcare center, has rented 16,576 square feet of commercial space in The Vale.
