The new owners of the Campus Village Shoppes center at 8147 Baltimore Ave., which previously housed several eateries, including Taqueria Habanero, recently announced their planned development for the site.

LV Collective plans involve the construction of 299 apartments and 13,000 square feet of retail, with returning tenants such as Taqueria Habanero, Hanami Sushi, Mr. Fries Man, and the UPS Store.

The project is located across the street from Vigilante Coffee and will include a ground-floor coffee shop and a community center that pays homage to the history of Lakeland, a historically Black community in the area.

“We have worked closely with the city of College Park and the Lakeland community to create this development that will bring value and vibrancy to this neighborhood and honor its identity,” said Andreé Sahakian, senior development manager at LV Collective, in a release.

The building will also feature a coworking space on the second-floor mezzanine and is slated to open in the fall of 2027.

When completed, the project would add to the changing landscape of the area, which is already home to three tall apartment buildings aimed at University of Maryland students: University View, The Varsity and Tempo.
