Twinbrook Station
When complete, the Twinbrook Station development, adjacent the Twinbrook Metro station on the red line, will be a 2.2-million-square-foot, mixed-use community.
The first phases of the project, featuring 279 apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space, will be complete in April 2010. At full build-out, the project will include multi-family residential with 1,595 units; 220,000 square feet of ground-floor retail; 325,000 square feet of Class-A commercial space; and a new park.
Twinbrook Station has been designated a Smart Growth project by the Washington Smart Growth Alliance, received the International Charter Award for Excellence from the Congress for the New Urbanism, and was the first project in the Washington, DC, area to be awarded Stage 2 LEED for Neighborhood Development Gold-level certification for its plan.
The State of Maryland has named the Twinbrook Station development in Rockville one of 14 Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Designated Sites statewide. The designation may provide additional funding, resources, tax credits, and state and federal support for the project. Twinbrook Station was selected because it is a good example of TOD, has strong local support, and can succeed with a reasonable amount of state assistance.
