NORTH STAFFORD, VA. — Construction is underway on Embrey Mill, an 831-acre, master-planned community in North Stafford, located 40 miles south of Washington, D.C. The property is slated to include 1,827 new homes, 285 acres of open space, public parks, civic and recreation centers and 10 miles of trails. A joint venture between North American Sekisui House and Sekisui House, Japan's largest homebuilder, owns the development. Newland Communities is the project's master developer. Roads for the first phase are already complete, and work has started on Embrey House, the community gathering place for the first neighborhood.
