New Crown Farm development, under construction, in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA.
This is the beginnings of the construction of the new Crown Farm mixed use development, located in the far Southwestern part of the city of Gaithersburg, in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. The development is being built on one of the last large, vacant parcels of land left in the heavily built up Central area of Montgomery County, Maryland, and was first proposed in 2004, but was delayed by the Nationwide economic slowdown, which caused the original developers for the project to go bankrupt. But, new developers were found, and after much anticipation and some earthwork on the site, construction of the actual buildings began in late September of last year 2012. The project will be built in several phases, with some of the later phases even possibly including some highrise buildings of up to about 15 to 20 floors in height. The first phase, seen here under construction, will include some multistory buildings of up to about five or six floors in height, with retail on the groung floor, and residences and/or offices in the floors above. Also included, I believe in the first phase, will be a Harris Teeter grocery store, but I'm not sure if it will be an urban-style store, at the ground floor of a multi-story building, or a more traditional single level store. There is a Harris Teeter in the ground level of an about 20 story highrise condo building in nearby Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland, which is why I thought that maybe the Harris Teeter in this development might have a similar layout. There are actually quite a few such urban-style retail stores existing or under construction in the area, including even the under construction first Wal-Mart store in Washington, DC itself, located just a few blocks North of the U.S. Capitol Building, on the ground level of an under construction seven story building that will have underground parking, the first two above ground stories with retail, including the about 76,000 square foot Wal-Mart and some smaller in-line retail, and five stories of residences above the retail stories. It would sure be cool to live in the same building as a Wal-Mart or other nice grocery store, though I'm not sure I would want to live in Washington, DC itself, since I've lived all my live in suburban style subdivisions, so that's what I'm used to. Gaithersburg is a Northern, middle ring suburb of Washington, DC, located in the Central area of Montgomery County, Maryland, that currently has a young and very diverse population of about 61,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is located just North of Washington, DC, is the most populated of the 24 counties in the U.S. state of Maryland, currently has a diverse population of about 990,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is the second most populated county in the vast Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, behind neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, which is in turn also the most populated county in the U.S. state of Virginia, with an also diverse current population of about 1.1 million people, and growing in population at about the same relatively fast rate as Montgomery County, Maryland.
