Current Status: Planning

Bethesda-based developer Stonebridge has proposed redevelopment of the properties immediately north of the Kennedy Shriver Aquatic Center. The redevelopment project includes three life sciences buildings totaling approximately 675,000 square feet and a parking garage. Included in the garage will be parking spaces for the Kennedy Shriver Aquatic Center and Wall Park, as suggested in the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan. The garage project will allow for the removal of most of the current surface parking at Wall Park, and eventually the creation of a new park with varied amenities. OPD is assisting with representing County interests for the public portion of the parking garage, as well as disposition of two publicly-owned parcels of land to be included in the redevelopment.

Stonebridge received Sketch Plan, Preliminary Plan, and Site Plan Phase 1 approvals for the life sciences project from the Planning Board on June 1, 2023. The staff report may be viewed here.
