Designing for Turns: Richmond Square’s 350-Home Cabinet Refresh (Arlington, VA)

When Dittmar Management set out to refresh 350 apartment homes at Richmond Square, the brief was clear: create a modern, light-filled look that photographs beautifully, installs cleanly during unit turns, and stays consistent across multiple floor plans. Multi-Housing Depot partnered with the Dittmar team to design from provided drawings and supply Acacia Cornerstone cabinetry with Cera doorfronts in Snow for both kitchens and baths – flawless cabinets delivered on a rolling schedule.

The Challenge: A Phased, Occupied Game Plan

Renovations are happening over ~18 months as residents move out. That means steady progress without disrupting day-to-day operations—but it also demands tight coordination and predictable product flow. Dittmar requests a three-week lead time; where schedules tightened, the team helped by granting early unit access so we could field-verify, stage product, and keep installers moving.

The Solution: One Coordinated Spec, Repeated 350 Times

  • Design-assist from drawings: Our team translated Dittmar’s unit drawings into efficient cabinet takeoffs for each stack and plan type.
  • Consistent finish across every scope: Cornerstone + Cera in Snow creates a bright, contemporary palette that elevates photos, works with varied countertop/backsplash choices, and simplifies maintenance long term.
  • Supply-only, built for scale: Standardized SKUs and accessories minimize complexity and support fast, repeatable installs during turns.

Why Acacia Cornerstone Cabinets?

    • Modern, Clean Lines: The Cera door front’s sleek profile and crisp Snow finish amplify natural light and make smaller kitchens read larger.
  • Durability for Multifamily: Built for daily use, with finishes that hold up and wipe down easily.
  • Cohesive experience: Carrying the same spec into baths unifies the home from entry to ensuite.

What's Next

As more stacks complete, Richmond Square will offer residents a bright, modern standard across the community—without the disruption of large, all-at-once construction.
