D.C. Metro Selects Developer for Brookland Site

Aug. 19, 2014
Transit-oriented development would add residential, retail space while preserving Brookland Green.

Metro has selected a venture of MidAtlantic Realty Partners (MRP) and CAS Riegler Companies as the developers for its available sites at the Brookland-CUA Metrorail Station. The selection is the second project award arising out of Metro’s Joint Development Solicitation of November 2013.

The developer is proposing to build approximately 280 residential units and 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, as well as a new Metro kiss-and-ride parking facility.  The proposed development will not impact the area of the property known as the Brookland Green, which will be acquired by the District of Columbia for creation of a public park space.

The development agreement is subject to final approval by Metro’s Board of Directors. Construction is expected to begin in 2016.
