Development team to host virtual pre-submission meeting for Wheaton Gateway Sketch Plan
You're Invited to Join Us For a Virtual Meeting
The Wheaton Gateway development team invites you to attend a virtual Sketch Plan pre-submission meeting on Thursday, December 3, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. You may register online to join the meeting from your computer or mobile device, or you may join with listen-only audio by calling (914) 614-3221, with access code 168-419-452 #.
The virtual meeting will provide an opportunity to review the plans for the redevelopment of about 5 acres near the intersection of University Boulevard and Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton, MD. At this meeting, representatives of our project team will discuss the proposal and answer questions about the redevelopment. The site is currently home to the Lindsay Ford dealership, and is also the former site of the Ambassador Hotel and Mattress Firm, both of which have now been demolished.
What's Being Developed?
Wheaton Gateway is a proposed vibrant, new mixed-use development that will feature mixed-income, multi-family housing, and new commercial spaces that incorporate the highest levels of sustainability. The project will be designed and eventually constructed in a number of phases over many years. All combined, the project will encompass a mix of up to 901,150 square feet of total development with up to 46,323 square feet of commercial use and up to 854,827 square feet of residential use (with up to 800 dwelling units consisting of 70% market-rate units and 30% Moderately Priced Dwelling Units). Learn more about the project with our Frequently Asked Questions here.
Earlier this year, the development team hosted a virtual presentation of the Wheaton Gateway Concept Plan for the public to learn more about the project, ask questions, and share feedback. You can watch that presentation here.
What Happens Next?
Following the virtual meeting date, Wheaton Gateway, LLC will file a Sketch Plan application with the Montgomery County Planning Department of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Once entitlements are received, the team will pursue building permits for the first phase of the development, and upon their issuance, construction will commence. It is not anticipated that construction will commence earlier than 2023.
We hope you can attend on December 3 and look forward to sharing more information about the project. We encourage you to register online and join us live. If you are not able to attend, the presentation will be available to watch online following the virtual presentation at WheatonGateway.com, where you may continue to submit feedback to us, as well.
