The Chevy Chase Land Company is now CCLC. Our refreshed identity reflects a legacy of more than 135 and a bold vision for the future. As a forward-thinking commercial real estate asset management and investment firm, CCLC creates long-term value for tenants, partners, and communities.
For more than a century, we were known as a land company. Today, as CCLC, we embrace a clear identity that reflects who we are now, a principled and dynamic fully integrated, multi-services firm. We are no longer just a land company but a modern real estate investment and asset management organization. This brand evolution is more than a name change, it is a renewed commitment to clarity, innovation, and long-term impact.
Our new logo features interlocking ‘C’s, a nod to our Chevy Chase roots and our commitment to collaboration. The modern color palette, anchored by deep navy with vibrant green and blue accents, reflects both stability and optimism. Every design choice, from typography to patterns, reinforces our mission as trusted real estate partners.
These pillars inspired every element of our updated brand, from our modernized logo to our vibrant photography and approachable digital presence.
Since 1890, we’ve built a reputation for community stewardship and commercial real estate expertise. In our early years, the company acquired more than 1,700 acres to create one of the nation’s first planned streetcar suburbs. We developed the Connecticut Avenue streetcar line and introduced modern infrastructure including water, sewer, and electricity, establishing what is now known as Chevy Chase, Maryland. Chevy Chase Lake was also built to power the streetcars and quickly became a popular community destination.
Over the decades, The CCLC has brought more than 10 million square feet of transformative office, retail, and residential space to the region. Today, our portfolio includes landmark assets such as 2 Bethesda Metro, a Class A office building steps from Bethesda Row; The Collection, a mixed-use office and retail destination in Chevy Chase; and Chevy Chase Lake, a vibrant mixed-use residential and retail community developed in partnership with Bozzuto.
