KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced that its Building Group has been
awarded a $33 million contract by Washington, D.C.-based
development partners Erkiletian and Jefferson Apartment Group for
the construction of The Asher, a planned mixed-use development in
Alexandria, Virginia.
The Building Group’s Vienna, Virginia regional office will lead
the project. Construction is already under way with completion
anticipated in June 2012.
“This important project for Erkiletian, one of Washington,
D.C.’s most established and respected developers, follows the
Building Group’s recent completion of several award-winning
projects in the D.C. area,” said Luther Cochrane, Senior Vice
President, KBR and Chairman of the Building Group. “Erkiletian’s
selection of the Building Group to construct The Asher is testament
to our expertise and experience in mixed-use projects, as well as
our sustainable building practices.”
Designed with a number of green building features, the project
is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council for LEED® Silver
certification. The mixed-use development is expected to consist of
two buildings — one with six stories and the other with three
stories — which will be connected by a two-level, below-grade
parking garage.
The Asher’s residential component, anticipated to include 206
apartment units, will offer energy-efficient appliances, and the
overall complex will feature an extensive water-saving system and
an advanced waste-management system.
Planned amenities include a state-of-the-art business center,
fitness center, residents’ club, and a media and entertainment
room. The exterior architecture incorporates Spanish-style roofing
and a multi-brick façade. The property will feature multiple roof
terraces with scenic views of Washington, D.C.
