Comstock CEO Recognized as 50 Most Influential of 2025

By: via Business Wire

Honor recognizes Comstock’s pivotal role in shaping the Northern Virginia’s urban landscape

Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI) (“Comstock” or the “Company”), a leading asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties in the Washington, D.C. region, announced today that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Clemente has been named to Northern Virginia Magazine’s list of the 50 Most Influential of 2025 in their upcoming October issue.

The 50 Most Influential of 2025 list from Northern Virginia Magazine includes leaders in business and development, education, government, health care, sports, entertainment, and more who made an impact in the last year on where Northern Virginians live and work, and how they spend their time.

Under Mr. Clemente’s leadership, Comstock has set a new standard for high-quality, mixed-use, transit-oriented developments in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. Reston Station, the Company’s flagship development adjacent to Metro’s Wiehle-Reston East Station on the Silver Line, spans the Dulles Toll Road and covers more than 90 acres. With only two of five planned development phases complete, Reston Station is already home to more than 2,000 residents and includes multiple Trophy-class office towers that serve as the global or regional headquarters for industry leaders such as Google, CARFAX, ICF International, and more. The neighborhood includes a diverse collection of premium restaurants and retail offerings, as well as the recently opened JW Marriott Reston Station — a 28-story tower with 247 hotel rooms, 94 branded condominiums, and the largest luxury banquet and event space in Northern Virginia. At the heart of the Reston Station community is Love Park, the newly added public gathering place that is anchored by Lorenzo Quinn’s celebrated Building Bridges sculpture and provides an iconic public art experience that embodies Comstock’s commitment to culture and connection.

Further west along Metro’s Silver Line, the Company’s Loudoun Station development continues to evolve as Loudoun County’s first-ever mixed-use, transit-oriented community. The project serves as a catalyst for economic development in Loudoun County, providing high quality residential, office, retail destinations, and entertainment venues that continue to attract both local businesses and nationally recognized brands.

“This recognition belongs to all of us,” said Comstock Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Clemente. “Being named one of Northern Virginia’s 50 Most Influential People is truly a reflection of the incredible team I have the privilege of working with every day at Comstock, each who are committed to shaping vibrant communities and delivering excellence across every project.”
