Liberty at Laurel Hill
When it opened more than 100 years ago, Lorton Reformatory in northern Virginia was anything but an ordinary prison. Now, the repurposed reformatory site is blossoming into a vibrant urban community that when completed will feature 165 apartments, 157 townhouses, 24 single-family homes, and up to 100,000 square feet (9,300 sq m) of office and retail space—a $190 million development known as Liberty.
