Dukes Win, You Win: Score Big on Your Next Apartment

Calling all Duquesne Basketball Fans! Pittsburgh is about to get a little more exciting (and a lot more rewarding) for Duquesne fans this basketball season.  

Whether you’re cheering from the student section, tuning in from your couch, or repping your red and blue across the city, Walnut Capital has something special in store for you.

Introducing “Dukes Win, You Win”, a brand-new leasing special at The Washington at Chatham and The Jones Tower where every victory on the court brings you one step closer to savings off your first month’s rent.

Yep, you read that right! When the Duquesne Men’s or Women’s Basketball team wins, you win, too.

What is the "Dukes Win, You Win" Promo?

Here’s how it works: every time the Duquesne Men’s or Women’s Basketball team brings home a win during the 2025–26 season, fans earn 1% off their first month’s rent at The Washington at Chatham or The Jones Tower for 2026.

When the season wraps up, we’ll tally the total number of wins between both teams and that combined number equals the percentage discount on your first month’s rent.

For example, if the teams rack up 50 wins total, that’s 50% off your first month’s rent – a slam dunk, right?

And for those nail-biting, high-energy matchups that have everyone talking? We’re even considering Double Days: select big games where wins are worth 2% off instead of 1%. (We’ll be sharing those matchups later in the season, so stay tuned!)

It’s our way of turning your school spirit into real-world rewards.

Who Is It Open To?

This promo is all about celebrating the Duquesne community, but the fun doesn’t stop there. While it’s designed with students, alumni, staff, and fans of Duquesne University in mind, any prospective resident who mentions the “Dukes Win, You Win” promotion when applying or signing their lease is eligible to score the savings.

Here's the fine print (because, you know, we have to keep things official):

  • Offer applies to new leases only for the 2026 lease year at the Washington at Chatham and The Jones Tower
  • The discount applies to your first month’s rent only, based on the final combined number of Men’s and Women’s Basketball wins during the 2025–26 regular season.
  • The promotion runs from March 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026.
  • Prospects must mention the “Dukes Win, You Win” promo at the time of application or lease signing.
  • Discounts are applied at management’s discretion, cannot be combined with other offers, can be cancelled or changed without notice, and are subject to availability.

In short: if you’re planning to move to The Washington at Chatham or The Jones Tower next year (and you love a good basketball win) this is your shot.

Why This Promo Is Unique

Sure, there are leasing specials everywhere, but none quite like this one.

The “Dukes Win, You Win” promo isn’t just about saving money, it’s about celebrating school pride and community spirit. It’s a promotion that feels alive, connected, and full of energy — just like game day at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse.

Every time you check the scoreboard and see a Duquesne win, you’re not just celebrating another notch in the season, you’re stacking up real savings. It’s fun, unpredictable, and totally engaging from start to finish.

Plus, it’s an easy way to stay connected to your city. Whether you’re a student wrapping up your degree, a new medical grad getting ready for residency, or a young professional starting your next chapter, this promotion makes your housing search feel like part of the action.

The Match Day Connection: A Win for Your Next Chapter

Speaking of big wins… Match Day is right around the corner in March – one of the most exciting milestones for medical students everywhere.

That’s why we’re tying this promo into Match Day celebrations, too.

Whether it’s for the short term while preparing for a move, or for a longer stay during residency, The Washington at Chatham and The Jones Tower offer everything you need to make life easier, flexible, and convenient.

Just like the thrill of hearing your name called on Match Day, finding the right apartment is another major “win” — and this promo helps you start your next chapter with an extra boost.
