A $300 million development with office space, apartments and shops is coming to the empty lot next to the Hotel at the University of Maryland at the corner of Campus Drive and Baltimore Avenue.
As part of the university’s Discovery District, the five-acre project will feature 550,000 square feet of office space, as many as 250 apartment and first-floor shops.
Philadelphia-based Brandywine Realty Trust will manage the project at the corner of Route 1 across from the front entrance to the University of Maryland which will be designed by Baltimore architecture firm Ayers Saint Gross.
Terrapin Development Co. President Ken Ulman said in a release that the project will “create a dynamic, place-based development to serve as a gathering spot for the local community.”
The building will be next to a Purple Line station, kitty-cornered from the Brendan Iribe Center for Computer Science and Engineering and near WeWork and the Hall CP as well as innovation labs in the garage at the Hotel at the University of Maryland.

This looks like a relatively high building. As I recall, developers had to redesign the Hotel at the Univ. of MD because the FAA said it was too close to the flight path of College Park Airport. I assume the developers know about the flight path, this time? This building will be even closer…
They’ve been impinging on the flight path forever. The faa doesn’t want the college park airport to exist, it seems. If it wasn’t for the dedicated local aviation community we’d have lost it long ago.
