Capital Lighting and Supply LLC, which does business as Capital Electric, won site plan approval to expand its brand-new warehouse-and-office headquarters facility in Upper Marlboro by nearly half.
The Prince George’s County Planning Board, a land use regulatory agency, on June 20 gave Capital Electric the green light to add about 162,000 square feet of light industrial warehouse space to its 363,000-square-foot building at 8711 Westphalia Road — a 45% increase over what’s currently there.
It’s noteworthy since Capital Electric only just occupied its new digs in January, having relocated its headquarters there from 8511 Pepco Place, a 203,000-square-foot warehouse a stone’s throw away. Trammell Crow Co. constructed the Class A building now being expanded, just north of Joint Base Andrews, in 2022.
Capital Electric is a subsidiary of the family-owned French firm Sonepar, which provides electrical products, lighting, and services to contractors and users. Capital Electric didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
