A Miami developer is proposing to build a mostly residential, 1.1-million-square-foot mixed-used community in Upper Marlboro in what would be the firm’s first project in the D.C. region.
Citing the growth potential in Prince George’s County, Global City Development wants to build about 400 multifamily units, 200 for-sale townhouses and 50,000 square feet of retail on 60 wooded acres just east of Joint Base Andrews. The site comprises two adjacent parcels, located at 9702 and 10200 Marlboro Pike, of which Global has a contract to acquire.
“We believe that Prince George[’s] County is set to experience significant growth over the next several years,” Brian Pearl, a Global principal, said in an email.
The parcels, which Pearl said are “well located just outside the Beltway,” roughly form an east-west oriented rectangle adjacent to Pennsylvania Avenue, just southwest of the interchange with Woodyard Road. An illustration in a planning staff report shows the multifamily component spread across three buildings in the center portion, a smattering of small commercial buildings on the east side and townhouses on the west side.
