30 Years And ...
Founded in 1977, KETTLER is ranked among the top multifamily housing developers in the nation and is the largest land developer in Metropolitan Washington.
How did we get there?
Our formula is simple: provide exceptional products and amenities, design buildings and spaces for people, and become outstanding corporate citizens. We have taken these principles to heart, and some of the area's most successful new communities and multi-use buildings have followed. Each is pedestrian-friendly, ecologically sensitive, and architecturally distinctive. They preserve the local heritage. They revive urban life.
In all, KETTLER has developed more than five million square feet of commercial space, more than 50,000 homes in 25 master-planned communities and many of the area's premier mixed-use communities. KETTLER’s projects of note include the Cascades, Piedmont and Lorton Station planned communities, the Midtown Reston Town Center community of condos, shops and apartments and the Metropolitan brand of Class A apartments in more than 10 locations throughout the Washington region. KETTLER Management manages nearly 20,000 apartments in 82 locations from New York to the Carolinas and also offers a full range of services to corporate and institutional real estate owners. We have partnered with world-renowned architects, won hundreds of awards for housing design, land planning and urban design. Still, our greatest satisfaction comes from improving the communities of which we are a part.
