Current Status: Sold/Under Construction By Developer

The County selected The Elms at PSTA, LLC to redevelop the property with a mix of residential units, including 30% Moderately Priced Dwelling Units (“MPDUs”).  The Planning Board approved the Preliminary Plan on July 22, 2021 and approved the Site Plan on March 31, 2022.  The property was sold to the developer in June 2022, and the developer began site work summer 2022.  More information about the project can be found here (scroll down to "Communities Coming Soon, Elms Shady Grove").

The Elms at PSTA will bring housing opportunities within walking distance of the jobs in the Life Science Center per the Master Plan. This new residential community will include 630 new residential units including 2-over-2 condominiums, townhomes and apartments, as well as approximately 1,700 square feet of retail. The project will provide pedestrian circulation via a system of sidewalks, the LSC Loop, open space linkages and a series of interconnected open spaces and amenity areas including a civic green, a playing field, a forested area with natural surface trails, a playground and fitness stations.

The first residential units were sold in December 2023/January 2024.  Construction on the multifamily buildings began in March 2024, and the first multifamily buildings are expected to deliver early to mid-2025.
