General contractor Caruso Homes will be in charge of this first residential component within the master-planned community. Work at the Marais Townhomes is scheduled to start on May 14, with delivery slated for this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Konterra and the Marais Townhomes have been equity financed to date, with a combination of equity and conventional financing, Caleb Gould, chairman of Gould Property Co., told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full plans for the project include multifamily units, retail, offices, dining, plazas and 8.5 miles of trail parks. The development will sit at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Maryland State Route 200. Downtown Washington, D.C., is 18 miles southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-former-quarry-turns-into-community-foundation\">Former quarry turns into community foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parts of the site where Konterra will rise used to serve as a sand and gravel quarry, which was operational between 1928 and 1977. Since then, the area has been remediated and reclaimed, with Konterra having been the owner for decades. The remediation work officially wrapped up in 2010. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Over decades, the site has been thoughtfully reclaimed, compacted and contoured to meet the highest standards for residential development, erosion control and stormwater management,&#8221; Gould pointed out. &#8220;Through reclamation, we were able to create efficiencies of mass grading and environmental management, creating the best possible canvas for Konterra.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/whats-driving-mixed-use-design\/\">mixed-use design trends<\/a> increasingly center around walkability and open air, so as to more easily integrate residential, office and retail uses into standalone destinations. The master plan takes this into consideration. &#8220;Konterra is well-buffered from the major roads,&#8221; according to Gould. &#8220;(Our) own extensive hiker\/biker network integrates with county master plans. The urban core features bike lanes along its streets that integrate with the greater hiker\/biker network throughout the site.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first phase is slated for delivery this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3619,"featured_media":1004797605,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,11,21752,21742,1615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004797571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-midatlantic","category-mixed-use","category-latest","category-washington-dc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
