A Bethesda company has bought The Station at Riverdale Park.
First Washington Realty, which owns 142 open-air shopping centers in 22 states, bought the Riverdale Park shopping center anchored by Prince George’s County’s only Whole Foods.
The Station at Riverdale Park, which opened in 2017, was one of the first big mixed-use projects that have dramatically changed the Route 1 corridor in recent years, after the Arts District Hyattsville.
Previously undeveloped land, the development now features restaurants, a food hall, a gym, a bank, apartments, row homes, a pretty nice playground and even a section of the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail.
It currently attracts over 2.3 million visitors each year.
First Washington, which also owns shopping centers in Takoma Park, Falls Church and D.C., indicated that it will be looking to fill the remaining unleased spaces at The Station.
“Our team looks forward to the strategic merchandising and lease-up opportunities at The Station at Riverdale Park,” said Emily Gagliardi, a senior vice president of leasing for the firm, in a statement.

More business sites at Riverdale Station? PParking is already a problem.
Yeah, I don’t know why they don’t (re)open the rest of that parking lot behind/east of Whole Foods. The lot was usable when the place first opened (which is already 8 years!?). As someone who comes & goes across the bridge, I’d just as soon not even fool with the garage nor the main lot.
I recall there’s some other development planned for that space, & they used it to stage equip. while building the apts. across the street, but now it’s already been a while.
@Patricia it’s a good thing we have the Trolley Trail there; easy to walk or bike to those new businesses there, with no parking necessary.
That said, they could probably resurface the parking lot near the trail. Maybe with brick or some kind of flattened cobblestone, so it can be used for events from time to time
