Portner's Landing,
Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

In 1996, Madison Homes was selected by The American Red Cross to purchase a full city block in Old Town Alexandria. The property, which was originally used as a brewery in the late 1800’s, had been occupied by The Red Cross since the 1940’s.

After our proposal was selected from among many others, we worked closely with the Old Town North Community Association to create a residential plan for the property that included renovation, restoration and additional construction.

Through careful planning and imaginative design, we were able to preserve the Victorian-style red-brick exterior of the original brewery. Today, in addition to being a great Old Town neighborhood of 92 condominiums and townhomes, Porter’s Landing remains as a landmark of Alexandria’s industrial heritage.

As a result of our keen attention to detail and design throughout the process, Portner’s Landing was recognized by the Congress For New Urbanism, which acknowledges beautiful, livable neighborhoods that have been redeveloped with special attention to urban design.
