project in D.C.'s Bloomingdale neighborhood on Aug. 16.
While better known for his role as a tight end for
Washington's NFL team, Vernon Davis is trying out a new set of skills
he hopes will leave a more enduring mark on the District's Bloomingdale
neighborhood: real estate development.
Davis is part of the team that broke ground
earlier this month on Gloriana, an eight-unit townhouse project being developed

D.C. native is an investor in the project, being developed by a team including
Kadida Development Group, United Investments and Alliance Development Co. as
the project's general contractor.
A Dunbar High School grad and former Maryland
Terrapin standout, Davis has dabbled in real estate investing since 2015, and
