The Chevy Chase Land Company Unveils New Name and Brand Reflecting Growth and Vision for the Future

Chevy Chase, MD (September 22, 2025) – After more than 135 years as a trusted leader in the Washington, D.C. region’s commercial real estate market, the now formerly named The Chevy Chase Land Company introduces a new name, bold look, and clear vision for the future. Moving forward, the company will be known simply as CCLC.

“Our new name and visual identity reflect who we are today: a principled, dynamic team committed to creating long-term value for our tenants, investors, and communities,” said John Ziegenhein, CEO of CCLC. “We’ve always embraced growth, and this next chapter allows us to build on our legacy while expanding the services and partnerships that will define our future.”

The rebrand honors the company’s legacy of developing more than 2,000 acres and 4 million square feet of award-winning office, retail, and residential space while signaling its evolution into a more robust commercial real estate investment and asset management firm, with expanded services and a growing roster of third-party asset management clients. The refreshed identity is rooted in CCLC’s core values of collaboration, integrity, and forward-thinking innovation.

CCLC plans to continue investment and development across the region while also actively leasing and asset managing properties within the firm’s portfolio, such as 2 Bethesda Metro and The Collection, as well as third-party office and retail properties. Additionally, the team at CCLC will continue active participation in its headquarters neighborhood of Chevy Chase with the Friendship Heights Sector Plan, as well as involvement across commercial real estate through engagement with NAIOP, ULI, and other organizations critical to shaping the industry’s future.

The firm’s new logo features interlocking “C”s, a nod to the company’s Chevy Chase roots and its ongoing commitment to collaboration and community. The modernized color palette, anchored by deep navy with vibrant green and blue accents, signals both stability and optimism. A new positioning line, Real Estate Partners, reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner across all facets of commercial real estate.

“We have enjoyed a strong partnership with CCLC and John Ziegenhein over the years – and specifically at our Chevy Chase Lake and 672 Flats communities,” said Bozzuto President and CEO Toby Bozzuto. “We look forward to being a part of CCLC’s bold vision for the mixed-use landscape in our region.”

Alongside the visual identity, CCLC introduces updated brand messaging that emphasizes its commitment to delivering exceptional spaces, cultivating strong relationships, and contributing to thriving neighborhoods across the region.

“The commercial real estate industry is undergoing a shift toward more integrated, flexible, and experience-driven environments, especially in mixed-use development,” said Francisco Gonzalez, Co-Managing Director of Gensler’s D.C. office and broader Southeast Region. “CCLC’s renewed focus and expanded capabilities reflect an understanding of where the market is headed. Their continued investment in projects across the DMV contributes to the kind of thoughtful, high impact placemaking our region needs to thrive.”

At the heart of the brand are four key cornerstones:

• Collaborative – We foster a culture where knowledge sharing, teamwork, and trust drive results.
• Committed – We bring dedication and professionalism to every partnership, honoring our legacy while building for the future.
• Dynamic – We embrace innovation and approach each challenge with purpose and a forward-thinking mindset.
• Principled – We act with transparency and integrity, always putting relationships first.

“Over the years, we’ve grown far beyond our name,” said Ziegenhein. “This rebrand captures our broader capabilities and our renewed focus on delivering value at every level, from strategic investments to tenant experience.”
