AKA, a division of Korman Communities, Opens its Largest Extended-stay Property -
AKA Dulles Station in Herndon, Virginia


Plymouth Meeting, PA � August 28, 2007 � Continuing its planned expansion, AKA debuts its eighth and largest extended-stay residence.  AKA Dulles Station in Herndon, VA, marks the fourth property opening for the new brand in just three months, making it one of the largest and fastest-growing luxury extended-stay brands in the world.

Conveniently located one mile from Dulles International Airport, AKA Dulles Station is a newly-built residence offering 169 one- and two-bedroom suites, making it the largest property in the AKA portfolio.  All accommodations feature nine-foot ceilings; full-size washers and dryers; gourmet kitchens with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances; ceramic-tile bathrooms with soaking tubs; as well as AKA brand-standard hotel amenities and services. 

An emerging market, Dulles is home to the fifth busiest airport in the United States and some of the most respected companies in America, including Oracle, Verizon Business, AOL, Sprint Nextel and Orbital Sciences.  �AKA Dulles Station fills a huge void in the lodging market in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country,� said Brad Korman, co-president of Korman Communities.  �This location, combined with our properties in Virginia Square, Arlington and the White House District, allow us to offer the finest short-term housing alternatives in the D.C. market.�

In April 2007, AKA added three properties to its portfolio: two in prime New York City locations at AKA Central Park and AKA Times Square, and AKA Dulles Station�s sister property in Arlington, VA at AKA Virginia Square.  By 2010, the brand plans to have 20 AKA properties in major cities in the U.S. and abroad.
