Development: One Loudon
Developer: Miller & Smith
One Loudoun, dubbed “Loudoun’s New Downtown,” is a mixed-use community 10 minutes from the future Ashburn Metro station. When finished, it will feature 3M SF of Class-A office, more than 700K SF of retail, restaurant and entertainment space, over 1,000 residential units and a baseball/soccer stadium. Miller & Smith’s proposal to build an additional 40 townhomes and 160 multifamily units was approved by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on March 24, after months of delay and revisions. This development is the most comprehensive and expansive in the county, providing culture, with art destinations and boutiques, connectivity, with its location at the intersection of Route 7 and Loudoun County Parkway, and walkability, with carefully designed streetscapes. Its packed restaurants on the weekends, lively activity in the dog park and urban-style townhouses filling up quickly are positive indicators for the project’s sustained success.
