More affordable housing, arts, and culture are coming to downtown Wheaton!
Our regulatory staff recently reviewed and the Planning Board approved an exciting new project for Georgia Avenue, just north of University Boulevard West, that will transform two parcels into a vibrant, mixed-use community.
This site will include:
✔️Up to 272 new multifamily units in two buildings and 39 townhouses, with 25% of the multifamily units priced for households earning up to 70% of the DC area’s median income — that’s about $79,500 for a family of two or $99,500 for a family of four. Many units will be priced for people at even lower income levels.
✔️ A new Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center, featuring performance space, classrooms, galleries, and more.
✔️ A 3.3-acre park with much-needed urban green space (as envisioned in our Wheaton CBD and Vicinity Sector Plan.) .
✔️ New office space
And the best part? It’s all within walking distance of the Wheaton Metro Station – a prime example of Thrive Montgomery 2050 in action as we encourage more housing for all and more arts, culture, and design in public spaces.
