NORTH STAFFORD, Va., Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Embrey Mill, an 831-acre master-planned community in North Stafford,  Virginia, will open the doors of Embrey House, its highly anticipated  community hub, on February 7^th. In  addition to an immersive information center, Embrey  House will provide an on-site retail element most communities lack,  including a full-service cafe and a planned concierge program.

An exclusive partnership with local favorite Before 'n' After Cafe provides an easy dining  option on-site, as well as call-ahead service for quick pick-up by busy  commuters. The Before 'n' After Cafe menu expands upon the offerings of its  sister location in Stafford, boasts an outdoor  summer kitchen and patio, and offers poolside food service, distinguishing it  far beyond anything else nearby. Winter hours will be 11  a.m. – 5 p.m.   M – F, with  expanded hours on weekends and during the summer (exact schedule TBD).

Alongside these services, Embrey House will be  the main source of information about the community and its homes, offering  experiential technology and trained staff to help prospective buyers learn about  Embrey Mill. The all-encompassing amenity complex also features a fitness center  overlooking an Olympic beach entry swimming pool and adjoining children's pool.  Kids have plenty of play options like a junior-sized basketball hoop, four  square and hopscotch, as well as two experiential play installations.

 The strong stone facade of Embrey House draws inspiration from the region's  role in national history. Its design references the nearby Towson House, an  historic home adjacent to the quarries that supplied the sandstone used to build  the U.S. Capitol. The Towson House was later owned by the Embrey family.

 After listening to the market, Embrey Mill plans to integrate on-site  lifestyle services that maximize residents' time at home, including a concierge  program. "Our consumer research revealed the huge time challenges people living  and working on the I-95 corridor face," said Tracy  Graves, Vice President of Operations for Embrey Mill. "We have envisioned  and are finalizing plans for a unique concierge service for our residents and  will have more information to share as our community continues to grow."

Embrey Mill is owned in a joint venture between NORTH AMERICA SEKISUI HOUSE, LLC (NASH), the US  business unit and full subsidiary of SEKISUI HOUSE, LTD., Japan's largest homebuilder and leading diversified developer, and AMERICAN NEWLAND  COMMUNITIES, LLC, whose development business, Newland Communities, is the  master developer of the community. It is one of more than 30 assets the  NASH-Newland partnership manages together in 11 states across the US.
