May Updates

Well I just got back from vacation and things in the county are moving right along.  It's great to see lots of construction in the area which means more jobs!  Here are a few highlights on whats going on:

 ULTA Beauty should be opening mid summer at the Shops at Waldorf.  It is located near the Christmas Tree Shops store.

 

Cafe Rio is moving right along as well in the shops at Waldorf.  They are taking over the former Prudential realty location at the entrance from 228.  They are moving in kitchen equipment already so I think we are looking at a mid summer opening.  They are doing some cosmetic changes to the outside of the building to bring it out of the 90's

 I've got a 24,000 square foot office warehouse going up fast behind our building in White Plains, for sale or lease.  no tenants yet but we should see some contracts soon.

 BB&T in White Plains is fully enclosed now and the parking lots is being paved.  The current White Plains branch will close at the end of May.

The Blair Center is moving so fast now they already have stucco on the building after i took my pictures.  Tenants include Kids first swim school, Beauty 4 U & Mom's Organic Grocery which I know a lot of people have been asking for.  Kids first is already advertising for enrollment.

Some other projects in the area include:
-Bookstore and a Japanese carryout for Merchants square in White Plains which both will open later this year
-Waldorf Thrift store opened in Pinefield
-Dr. Suresh Patel's medical complex opening in the next few months on old Washington Rd. behind the Applebees and Hooters
-Davita Dialysis opening early summer in our building at White Plains Corporate Center
-Go Waiter at 2 post office road that delivers restaurant food to your home
-Hubbards Southern Grill which takes place of the Captains Table at the St. Patrick's Centre
-Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt which will open later this summer at 105 Drury drive in La Plata next to Chipotle
-Reflexion Dominican Hair salon coming soon at the Shoppes at berry rd. next to Wawa
-Chuck e Cheese moving to Charles County Plaza near Giant and Sakura
-Kenney Staffing has moved their office to Franklin Square at 50 post office rd.

More to come!

New Construction in White Plains

BB&T Bank is currently under construction in the White Plains Corporate Center.  The new branch will open late summer.  The current location in the White Plains commerce center will close once it's complete.

Construction is also underway on the new 24,000 sf White Plains Corporate Flex building located on Regency Place behind our offices.  This building is available as a condominium for sale or lease.  Reservations for space will be taken immediately.  You can lease or purchase a space from 1,400 sf and up depending on your needs.

Chipotle opens in La Plata

Chipotle has opened at its new location in La Plata off of Drury Drive next to Chick fil a and Texas Roadhouse.  Next to open will be Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt and hopefully a Thai Restaurant in the future.

World of Wings has found a new owner and is set to reopen Thursday at the Waldorf Marketplace.  This is the fourth WoW location in Maryland.

Headhunting for new retailers

This Tuesday and Wednesday we are at the National Harbor going after new tenants for Southern Maryland.  The Mid Atlantic Conference and Deal Making session is a smaller version of the 4 day Las Vegas ICSC Convention in May.  We will also be representing Southern Maryland at that event.  We walk acres of prospective tenants to find out who is interested in coming to our area.  It's a great way to network and keep up our knowledge of new trends and retailers while bringing new tenants to our area.
