St. Charles Towne Plaza To Be Renovated

As I had stated before The St. Charles Towne Plaza will be getting renovated.  They have now announced the construction will begin March of 2015 and finish up in November.  We have placed some new tenants in the plaza like PC Retro Computers and Isle of Vape.  St. Charles Pharmacy will open next month and Ashley Furniture will open April 2015 once its storefront is built next to K&G Menswear.  Panda Express has recently opened their freestanding building next to Burger King.  This was a much needed renovation.  Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

In Memory of Mary Shasho

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my mother Mary Shasho.  Mary was in real estate for over 18 years.  She was one of the first women in commercial real estate in southern Maryland.  Mary helped to begin the Charles County Police Explorer program where she served an an advisor for many years.  She was also part of the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Waldorf Jaycees, Kiwanis, chamber of commerce, and many other programs.  Mary always went above and beyond for her clients and friends. She loved being with her grandchildren.  She was an amazing person and will be missed by everyone very much.  Love you mom.

Donations can be made in her name to:

Time for La Plata to vote on the SuperWalmart

www.approvequestiona.com

On April 9th the residents of the Town of La Plata can vote to either approve or deny the annexation of the land across from the Lowes and Giant.  If they approve the annexation then the Superwalmart can be built.  Why do they need this in the first place?  Because they can not build on well and septic and making this part of the town gives them water and sewer hookup.  What are they going to do with the old walmart if this is approved?  The developers and walmart are already working on stores to fill the space in the event it is approved.  One plan is to cut the building in to three or more stores, put a new facade on it and bring Kohls in plus others.  It would also help fill the Rosewick Crossing shopping center and bring alot of other new stores.  The vote will take place at the La Plata town hall from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.  To read more about it visit the website above.




UPDATE 4-10-2014  The town of La Plata has rejected the annexation.

Car Wash in Waldorf

The construction you see on St. Patrick's Drive near Valvoline is for a new Kleen Wave car wash.  This project had been delayed for a while but seems to be back on track.  No idea on when it will be completed as the weather is not cooperating at all. 

More tenants coming to Shops at Waldorf

Some shifting of tenants and new ones coming soon to the Shops at Waldorf.  Party City is moving to the other end of the building they are currently in for a little more exposure.  They will also take more space.  MyEyeDr is moving in next to Panera and ATI Physical Therapy is taking over the former Jennifer furniture space near Modell's.  More tenants coming soon.
