Report: High-Rise Apartments, Offices Planned for White Flint
Two existing shopping centers along Rockville Pike would become part of the new mixed-use development, local media outlets reported.
A five-tower development, to be situated along Rockville Pike, is headed to White Flint, pending approval, The Gazette reported.
Saul Centers, a Bethesda developer, presented the plans for a cluster of four apartment buildings and one office building at a community meeting Tuesday night, according to the newspaper. Three or four of the buildings would be about 300 feet tall.
The mixed-use buildings, just south of the White Flint Metro, will take the place of two shopping centers in Rockville, at 11550 and 11503 Rockville Pike, which were purchased by Saul two years ago in preparation for the build up, BethesdaNow.com reported.
