Lorton Station

Overview

Kettler was master developer of Lorton Station, situated along the busy corridor of Interstate 95, 15 miles south of downtown Washington, D.C. The master-planned development has won numerous awards including the 2004 Best in American Living for Best Smart Growth Community. Kettler assembled the site in 1998 and subsequently rezoned the 300-acre property from industrial use. Kettler segmented multiple residential property types including traditional and small-lot alley loaded detached products, townhomes, condominiums and rental apartments, or finished pad sales to numerous builder clients. Challenges of extreme topography were resolved by the use of large retaining walls. Now fully built out, the homes are served by community amenities including a clubhouse and pool, community meeting space, tot lots and elementary school.
