Edens selected to revitalize grocery-anchored center with mix of uses

Edens and Montgomery County Maryland announced the redevelopment of Burtonsville Crossing and the adjacent park-and-ride lot located in Burtonsville, Maryland.

In 2014, Edens was selected by Montgomery County to develop the adjacent surface parking lot while continuing to provide commuter parking at this strategic location.

Plans to revitalize the center are now able to begin as an agreement with grocery anchor Giant to terminate its lease, which has been dark since 2010, has been reached. While the center is still early in the design and planning process, Edens is focused on offering a mix of uses, including retail and public gathering spaces. The concept is an integral part of the overall Burtonsville Village Center Neighborhood Plan put forth by the county at the end of 2012.

"Our goal with this project is to enrich the Burtonsville community, with retail and dining options, civic space, and a mix of other uses specifically curated to fit Burtonsville's identity and character," said Jeff Kaufman, Edens senior VP of development for the project.
