Overview
- WMATA selected Atlantic Pacific Companies to redevelop 3.8 acres of surface parking next to the Capitol Heights station into a mixed-use site.
- The $140 million plan calls for 320 income-restricted apartments priced for households at or below 60% of the area median income.
- Plans include about 10,000 square feet of neighborhood retail, and the project now enters design, permitting, and community engagement with no groundbreaking date announced.
- Maryland committed $17 million to the project as part of a wider Blue Line corridor strategy that also includes a $450 million state program.
- Gov. Wes Moore is backing bills to open more than 300 acres of state transit-adjacent land, a package projected to enable over 7,000 homes and nearly $1.5 billion in new tax revenue if passed.
