Construction has begun on the Residences at The Six, a new mixed-use development at University Town Center in Hyattsville.
Located at 6400 America Blvd. just off East West Highway, the $110 million building will feature 316 apartments, 2,052-square-feet of ground-level retail and a 276-space parking garage.
According to the developers, Perseus TDC, the Residences at The Six will be the first apartment complex in Prince George’s County to be certified Gold under the National Green Building Standard and will feature all native plants and Energy Star appliances.
Five percent of parking spots will be reserved for electric car charging stations.
Amenities include a two-level fitness center and yoga studio, a coworking space, a courtyard and rooftop entertaining area, a dedicated pet spa and a top-floor pool.
At least three-fourths of the units will also be reserved for families earning less than $2,500 a month.
The development is expected to open in the summer of 2024.
The project is the latest apartment building located within the crucial half-mile around the Hyattsville Crossing Metro station, previously known as Prince George’s Plaza. Another project is planned for the former site of the J.C. Penney’s at the Mall at Prince George’s.

Are you sure about 75% of the units being for families making less than $2,500 per month? That would put rent at $750/month, which seems unlikely in a building with a pet spa. It’d also be considered “deeply affordable” (for under 30% of area median income) and while I would love for a deeply affordable apartment building to be built in Hyattsville, I recall this developer saying they planned on having no affordable units because the county and city didn’t require them.
It doesn’t say anything about how much the rent is. But 75% being for low income is hard to believe.
“At least 75 percent of the units will be affordable for low- and middle- income households, those earning $2,499 a month or less.” — The Commercial Observer
I don’t think the Commercial Observer is reporting that correctly. The Washington Post is saying that 75% of the units will rent for less than $2,500 a month (side note: a $2,499/month apartment being “affordable” is certainly something), which seems much more plausible.
