Downtown Silver Spring's Upcoming Wave of Development

Development boom poised to be biggest since the 1960's

UPDATED 09/16

With the completion of Fenwick Station this past July and the upcoming delivery of the Residences at Thayer this fall, the current wave of building construction in downtown Silver Spring is now tapering to an end (the publicly-funded library and transit center projects are exceptions). The lull in development will be short-lived however, as downtown Silver Spring is on the verge of seeing yet another development boom in the coming years. This next wave of construction is poised to be even bigger than the last wave, which was already the urban hub's largest in nearly half a century.

A History of Development in Downtown Silver Spring
Silver Spring was originally 'founded' in 1840 when Francis Preston Blair and his daughter discovered a spring flowing with chips of mica on land just north of the Washington D.C. border. Blair later purchased the land surrounding the spring to create a summer estate which he named "Silver Spring." 

By the early 1900's Silver Spring had begun to grow into a small suburban town on the B&O Railroad's Metropolitan Branch. During the 1960's, the growing commercial hub experienced it's first high-rise construction boom, along with other lower county communities. Between 1961 and 1971 an impressive 23 high-rise buildings were constructed in downtown Silver Spring. However, following the boom was a long dearth of building activity, and the downtown area entered into a period of economic decline from the mid-1970's onward. Even the arrival of Metro's Red Line in Downtown in 1978 did little to rejuvenate the area. 

Downtown Silver Spring didn't really see any significant construction activity again until the arrival of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) headquarters in the late 1980's and early 1990's. NOAA's massive complex along East-West Highway added four high-rise office buildings to the urban center's skyline, including two of its tallest buildings. Despite the economic boost brought by the NOAA headquarters, the development lull in downtown Silver Spring continued throughout the 1990's.


The center of Downtown Silver Spring
The Beginning of a Renaissance
At the beginning of the 21st century, signs of new life began to emerge in downtown Silver Spring. Several city blocks near the decades-old City Place Mall were completely demolished to accommodate a new 440,000 sq. ft. outdoor retail/entertainment center. In 2003, Discovery Communications completed construction of its new headquarters in the center of the business district, a move the really accelerated Silver Spring's resurgence. Between 2001 and 2010, nearly 15 new high-rise buildings were constructed in Silver Spring compared to the 6 built during the previous decade .

In addition to the surge of private investment, heavy public investment from Montgomery County, as well as the nationwide 'back to the city' movement, also played major roles in Silver Spring's rejuvenation. However, with the still depressed office market, nearly all of the new development in downtown Silver Spring has been residential (with retail components). Between May 2013 and July 2014 an unprecedented six residential apartment buildings (the same total number of buildings completed over the entire decade of the 1990's!) were completed in Silver Spring.

*Newly constructed buildings of 5 or more stories. Does not include conversions of existing buildings (e.g. office to residential)

The Next Wave
As huge as the recent development blitz has been, the upcoming wave could likely surpass it, and possibly the massive 1960's boom. There are over 20 planned or approved high-density projects currently in the pipeline for downtown Silver Spring, with 12 buildings projected to be completed by 2018. 

Below you can find detailed information on every development project currently in the works for downtown Silver Spring:

    1. You forgot to mention the brand new four story homeless shelter that the historic district sols out to get. Now instead of moderate crime we'll have high crime in the area.

      Delete
    2. You do realize that the shelter already exists. It's just being moved to a much better facility 100 feet to the south.

      Also, homeless shelters don't generate crime.

    4. So we should just throw them out on the street? I hope you or your family members never fall on hard times or lose your job.

      Even if that is the case. Moving it directly adjacent to the fire/police station will alleviate any crime.

      Delete
    5. If me and my family fell on hard times I would go out and get a job. These people have never heard of that word. Being next to the place that gives you the most will only make things worst. Silver spring officials and county officials really sold out so they can get a free shelter built for them and give up historic properties.

      Delete
    6. "I would go out and get a job"

      If only things were that simple. Try finding a job if you're mentally ill or disabled with no college education. Not all homeless people are drug addicts or freeloaders, and not all of them are permanently homeless.

      The county officials fulfilling their civic responsibilities.

      Delete
    7. If by "Civic Responsibility" you mean: making a deal to jam a homeless shelter between a large fire/police station and some metro tracks so it can't be seen by the public; just so a developer can make profits, and the county can tax the developer plus its 440 possible residents. The County Officials only "Civic Responsibility" was hiding an eyesore homeless shelter so apartment renters paying $2000/month wouldn't have to see all the drug addicts urinating, defecating and overdosing in their parking lot along Ripley Street. Those residents get to park their personal vehicles in a safe area without having to worry about a cash strapped drug addict, in need of a fix, peeping inside their vehicle windows looking for valuables; or squatting between cars and defecating there, and not in a restroom since the shelter is full, since they arrived too late or inebriated and were turned away by the shelter staff. The Firefighters and Police Officers won't be afforded that parking luxury while they're at work. If you doubt any of what I said, you're more than welcome to go to 8210 Dixon Avenue and see it for yourself. Also, since you're so confident that crime won't increase or "be generated", once the new shelter is built, feel free to park your personal vehicle behind the fire/police station and leave it unsupervised for 10 to 24 hours at a time with some of those fine, upstanding citizens-in-need transiting the lot. Or even now: go park your car at 8210 Dixon Avenue overnight. I guarantee that you hesitate to do it. That's reality, not prejudice.

      I don't dispute the need for assistance to the down and out, mentally disabled or ill, especially for our Veterans. But this new homeless shelter was not a project in the name of "civic responsibility": It was a way for County Officials to make money, hide a sad reality from the public and get some atta-boys for "being generous" on their resume in the process. If County Officials hadn't smelled a profit in this, Progress Place would have remained at 8210 Dixon Avenue, continuing to struggle with providing assistance to those that truly need it.

      How many times have those same County Officials been down there to do their "Civic Responsibility" by donating or volunteering at Progress Place? Show me where any of those same County Officials had tried to assist Progress Place with upgrading/relocating facilities, services or otherwise providing support BEFORE they were approached by a developer to obtain the property.

    8. "Show me where any of those same County Officials had tried to assist Progress Place with upgrading/relocating facilities, services or otherwise providing support BEFORE they were approached by a developer to obtain the property"

      Maybe they would if people like you and Christopher didn't whine about the "waste" of tax dollars. The developers of Solaire provided the county with a great opportunity to build an upgraded facility at a steep discount.

      I'm any case, you're still entitled to your prejudiced opinion and gross exaggerations.

    10. Well, I'm never eating at Mrs. K's again. Thanks for showing your true colors Christos Xenohristos. It's sad that someone who has so much is unable to have the slightest bit of compassion for those who have fallen on hard times (or are mentally ill).

      Delete
    11. Whereas this wasn't the case before, there are now homeless people constantly at my stoop. Thanks a lot MoCo. I agree with Christos. For all the people who are feeling so generous, why don't you invite the county to open up a shelter in your front lawn. indeed, let's track you all down and make sure this happens. Otherwise, shut up with all that high and mighty bs.

      Delete
    12. I lived at Solaire (1150 Ripley) for 3 years. (2013-2016). The shelter was literally attached to my building. So I get to have a say in this, having literally lived it. Fwiw, I was fine with the shelter there (although I'm glad they were able to get a larger facility, although I agree it's suspect how they hid it from the public's view, esp. if it was for development purposes), and if anything, I wished we could have helped these people more. It was sad seeing them with no where to go every night while I'm sure some of these luxury apartments were empty. I wished we would have had some kind of Solaire Cares program. None of these folks ever bothered me or my friends or family. As well, my friends and family parked their cars in various parking lots in the area, including the ones at 8210 Dixon... we never had any problems with it. So everyone can take their bigotry & hatred & classism & ableism elsewhere... we have no room for it in Silver Spring. EVERYONE is welcome here, as long as they have open hearts and open arms.

  2. Excellent write-up. Re: "EagleBank Development" (850 Sligo) there's currently interior demolition going on and the building appears to have been vacated by all tenants. I don't have any idea what's going on, but hopefully some sort of conversion or major renovation is underway....Unfortunately, judging from the permits, it appears the reno is minor.

  4. what about condo development? is there not a market in downtown silver spring condo home ownership?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The condo market in the DC Area has been hurting a lot since the Recession, with financing for new projects very hard to obtain. However, the outlook has improved a lot recently with new projects in DC and Bethesda getting underway over the past year. I wouldn't be surprised if Silver Spring saw a condo project within a year or two.

      Silver Spring's pre-recession development boom saw quite a few condo developments, although most were smaller, mid-rise buildings (the 14-story Crescent and 10/12-story Aurora being the exceptions).

  8. I saw JBG's architectural plans for Falkland Chase phase 1 on MoCo's development finder Web site. Thankfully, the developer's plans are FAR more pedestrian friendly than the previously approved plans. Phase 1 is the western portion of the site, roughly 45% of the property, with about 4-6 stories of housing above ground level retail, including a "Main Street" type road with retail on both sides. The plans are black and white elevations and sections but I hope they release some color renderings soon. With all the other developments your article so thoroughly includes, this should be a wonderful addition to DTSS.

  11. Will there be any town homes built near the blairs? If so when should that be finished? For metro plaza will that be on east west highway? Re they building anymore stores in the mall, or around the mall?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, as part of the first phase (currently under construction), townhomes will front onto Eastern Ave. Construction could be finished as early as late next year. Metro Plaza will be on East-West Highway but won't likely be built anytime soon because of issues with the Purple Line right-of-way.

      Petrie-Ross is adding a large selection of stores to the mall, which will be rebranded "Ellsworth Place." See: http://petrierichardson.com/properties/featured/2-ellsworth-place

    2. Do you know if the developer ever modified the architecture from the most recent approval from a couple years ago (and in the renderings most widely circulated online) It was better than what was first proposed but still a monolithic presentation along Georgia Ave. behind the 'main street' smaller buildings. Either way, this will be a big infusion of residents into Fenton Village and hopefully a another catalyst (along with the PL) for more residential/mixed use

      Delete
    3. The architecture hasn't changed from what was approved in 2013. Honestly, I don't mind the facade that much since it's varied, glass-heavy, and includes a mix of materials and shades, which makes it superior compared to many, many buildings in DC.

      Delete
  16. Might want to change the two Falkland Chase posts' renderings since that's the old Shalom Baranes/Home Properties version. The new JBG version is quite different (and better, IMO). Also, maybe consider adding Douglas Development's Harris Teeter anchored multi-family project on Eastern Ave. & Georgia. Technically in DC but part of the Silver Spring core and a big deal for those of us who've been waiting forever for the Teeter!
