May 17th, 2010 | by David Daddio | Published in Mazza Grandmarc
Don’t forget that RTCP’s Mazza GrandMarc Hard Hat tour is today. The building is located just north of Jordan Kitt’s Music at 9530 Baltimore Avenue. Please arrive at 5:30 PM. RTCP will run a carpool from City Hall at 5:15PM. RSVP HERE. Background:
Rethink College Park is extremely pleased to announce that it’s sponsoring a “hard hat tour” of the nearly complete Mazza GrandMarc Student housing project in North College Park. Ten years in the making, Mazza’s final approval was the subject of a protracted battle between student leaders, Rethink College Park and County Councilman Tom Dernoga in 2007. Once the retail portion of the project is complete, it will be the first transit-ready, mixed-use redevelopment project in northern College Park. Leasing has already begun for the Fall 2010 semester.
The $43 million, 630-bed complex is geared primarily towards University of Maryland graduate students, will be serviced by Shuttle UM and provides a public trail connection to Paint Branch Trail just behind the complex. The event is open to the entire community. Citizens, students, prospective tenants, local leaders and press are all welcome.
When: Arrive May 17th @ 5:30 PM (tour to begin promptly at 5:45)
Where: 9530 Baltimore Avenue just north of Jordan Kitt’s Music. The group will convene just in front of the new leasing office in the permanent building..
What: Leasing agents will be on hand to provide a guided tour of the nearly complete project and the adjacent Paint Branch Trail connection. RTCP staff will field questions about the project and it’s implications for Smart Growth in College Park.
