 Developer's Story graphic

The benefit of experience.

Over 50 years of combined commercial and residential construction expertise in the DC, Maryland and Virginia Area.

Encore Development owners Gary Kirstein and Steve Kay, both native Washingtonians, began their careers in the early 70s with the Richmarr Companies, a development and construction company founded by their fathers in 1953. While there, they both played key roles in the development and construction of over fifty major commercial and residential projects, including condominium and rental apartment complexes (both mid- and high-rise), single-family and townhome communities, office buildings, warehouses and shopping centers.

In 1995, Gary and Steve, drawing on their years of experience at Richmarr, formed Encore Development to provide construction management services to outside clients and to develop their own projects.

Today, Encore Development offers this unmatched level of experience throughout DC, Maryland and Virginia in the following areas:

  • Custom single-family homes and condominiums
  • High-rise residential development
  • Land development projects
  • Renovation/Historic Restoration projects
  • Construction management services for most any kind of residential or commercial project
