Led by Builder Captain the Knutson Companies and a team of 21 trade partners, renovations of the space included adding walls to help partition off dressing rooms, bathrooms, and a breakout space, as well as outfitting the entire space with utilities such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, water, and sewer.

Thank you to all involved in this project – we’re proud to be a part of a program that provides such important services and a beautiful new setting to train youth in customer service, merchandising, clothes sorting, sales reconciliation, and retail management.”

The Knutson Companies is grateful for the opportunity to have managed the development of this new space for the community alongside HomeAid National Capital Region and Mobile Hope, and looks forward to future projects. Learn more about the work and missions of these organizations at HomeAidNCR.org and Mobile-Hope.org.

This newly renovated space will provide free clothing to homeless and at-risk youth and provide a setting to train them in customer service, merchandising, clothes sorting, sales reconciliation and retail management. It will also serve as a sorting center where volunteers can prepare donations for distribution and sale.

Donna Fortier, CEO and Founder of Mobile Hope, shares that it is “an honor to have been selected to be a project that HomeAid supports.” For over 10 years, Mobile Hope has provided resources and emergency shelter to youth up to age 24 who are at-risk, precariously housed or homeless and empowers them to become self-sufficient.

Renovations of the new 2,000-square-foot Graffiti and Silk Leesburg retail space include adding walls, HVAC, plumbing, electric, partitioned-off dressing rooms, breakroom space and a bathroom, and will be managed and completed by the Knutson Companies. The retail value of the space is $250,000 with subcontractors generously contributing to the labor and material costs. 

The Knutson Companies has partnered with HomeAid National Capital Region on construction projects for many years, and is grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the community through this new Mobile Hope project. 

“Don Knutson and Steve Alloy led the charge in 2001 to establish HomeAid as a 501C3; with the help of others from the local homebuilding industry, they set up a legacy of giving back to the community by addressing construction barriers nonprofits face,” shares Kristyn Burr, Executive Director and CEO of HomeAid National Capital Region. “Two decades later, Don and his team are still leading projects. Mobile Hope is one of over 160 projects HomeAid has completed to help those experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with the Knutson Companies to create a beautiful thrift store that will help fund Mobile Hope’s crisis programs for at-risk youth in Leesburg, Virginia.” 

Donna Fortier adds “Mobile Hope has been so lucky by having Don Knutson as the Builder Captain for this project. Ollin and the entire team have been so wonderful to work with and to get to know. Their passion for their work, as well as their dedication to our mission is humbling. The impact this new on-campus store will have, not only on our organization, but on the kids is going to be life-changing.”

With one of the Knutson Companies’ brand pillars focused on creating neighborhoods that enhance lifestyles, the team is honored to receive this award that realizes their commitment to this goal. 

King Street Station is a sold-out condominium community in Historic Leesburg that was completed in late 2021. On what was once an old strip center on South King Street, the Knutson Companies created stunning single-level homes across four condominium buildings plus this on-site public plaza to offer community members a space to gather and relax. The plaza consists of a partially-covered pavilion with seating and lush green spaces. The pavilion’s architecture was inspired by classic monitor barns and features a versatile design in which half of the roof is covered for shade while the other half is slatted to let natural light in. It overlooks the W&OD Trail and is located just outside the condominium buildings, so neighbors and friends can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors together. 

The Knutson team is thrilled that many are enjoying the space now and will for years to come. They are proud to serve the Loudoun County community and look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional neighborhoods that elevate their homeowners’ lifestyles. 

“As we welcome the first homeowners to their new homes with this ribbon cutting ceremony, we are tremendously proud to help shape St. Elizabeths’ bright new future,” said Don Knutson, President of the Knutson Companies. “We at Knutson recognize the importance of the St. Elizabeths neighborhood to the greater DC community and are honored to be part of such a meaningful effort to bring more homeownership opportunities to the District.”

November 16, 2021 — Leesburg, VA. Despite selling out earlier this year, King Street Station continues to make a lasting impression on both the local and national stages.

The Best in American Living Awards (BALA) recently revealed that this sought-after Loudoun County community has won two 2021 awards. King Street Station has been recognized in the Built For Sale Multifamily category, outshining other four- to seven-story developments, and in the Infill Community category.

This news comes ahead of the official ceremony, which will be held early next year as part of the International Builders Show (IBS). These are especially significant honors due to the high level of competition across the country. The interior space, exterior architecture and community design were criteria considered in the judging process.

Additional accolades were also earned last month when the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association (NVBIA) hosted their annual Great American Living Awards (GALA), a prestigious event honoring the year’s best achievements in the new home industry. 

The panel of GALA judges confirmed what King Street Station homeowners already knew to be true when they gave the community an Award of Merit in the Best Multifamily Design and Architecture in the New Construction category. 

These wins continue to cement the Knutson Companies’ reputation for architectural excellence, as it was the sixth year in a row that one of the builder’s communities was featured as a top entry in its respective category at the GALA event.

A boutique community in Historic Leesburg, King Street Station is comprised of single-level residences with elevator access. With four distinct buildings, each one contains just 16 residences, nearly all of which are spacious corner units.

Both the exterior and interior of the design work in unison to create residences that are truly remarkable. On the outside, the buildings fit the aesthetic of historic downtown Leesburg while also incorporating modern detailing. The interiors boasted soaring 10’ ceilings, light-filled spaces and refined finishes.

King Street Station is a perfect example of the communities that the Knutson Companies is best known for — neighborhoods that enhance your lifestyle with access to recreation, restaurants, retail and transit.
