Renovations Enhance Housing and Quality of Life for Military Service Members and Families
FORT KNOX, Ky. (Feb. 28, 2025) – Centinel, a longtime partner of the Department of Defense, joined U.S. Army Fort Knox leadership and military families Wednesday to celebrate a significant milestone in its $80 million development plan at Knox Hills, the privatized military housing community located in Fort Knox, Ky. This investment reflects Centinel’s continued commitment to enhancing housing quality and better serving the evolving needs of service members and their families.
As part of this initiative, Centinel unveiled the first of what will be 50 newly renovated Prichard Place homes, expanded from three-bedroom to four-bedroom layouts to provide more space and comfort for military families. Additionally, more than 720 existing homes are undergoing renovations to improve living spaces and community amenities.
“This initiative is about more than just upgrading homes; it’s about supporting the families who serve our nation,” said Justin Kern, CEO of Centinel. “We take great pride in providing high-quality communities where service members and their families can truly feel at home. This progress at Knox Hills reflects our unwavering commitment to military housing excellence.”
The event brought together Centinel leadership, Army representatives and residents to celebrate the collaborative effort driving these improvements.
“As our Army turns 250 years old this year, I submit to you that as long as we continue to focus on people, as we certainly have with this amazing project, we’re going to keep rolling along strong as ever,” said Colonel Chris Ricci, Fort Knox Garrison Commander. “Congrats to all the families who are going to get to call Prichard Place home for years to come.”
Looking ahead, Centinel remains steadfast in its commitment to setting a new standard for military housing communities, not just at Fort Knox but across the national portfolio.
