Town Planning
Greenbelt Metro Park
Project Location
Greenbelt, Maryland
Greenbelt Metro Park integrates a 1.2 million square foot shopping mall, 1 million square feet of office space, 1,000 residences and 3,000 parking spaces with an existing Metro Rail station. The design creates a transit hub in this bustling urban center of the Metropolitan D.C. area. Each element of the site is carefully positioned to maximize the efficiency of the existing infrastructure, and preserve the wetlands and green spaces. A parking garage is situated above the Metro Rail with access to the outward-oriented mall. Commercial space is located on ground level in several mid-rise buildings along the perimeter of three plazas placed on the Metro line.
