Location: Annapolis, Maryland

Description: A 35-acre mixed use re-development project in the Parole area of Annapolis comprising almost two million SF of retail, office, hotel and residential floor space. The space breaks down as follows:

Retail: 674,850 SF
Office: 91,700 SF
Hotel: 90,000 SF
Residential: 1,291,100 SF

Significant Facts:

• A major challenging aspect of this project is that design requirements necessitate very close tolerances between water, sewer, and storm drainage infrastructure which must also accommodate large electrical underground duct banks and gas lines between the proposed retail, office, residential and parking structures (providing space for 5,000 cars).
• Annapolis Towne Center is the former site of the Parole Plaza Shopping Center, which was built in the early 1960's, closed in the 1990's, and has remained vacant for a decade. Parole Plaza Shopping Center was the first shopping center developed in the Annapolis area that contained major department stores. This was a defining event in the commercial evolution of the Annapolis area — before the opening of this shopping center, Annapolis residents had to travel to Washington, DC or Baltimore to shop in an upscale department store. The new Towne Centre will create a revitalized living, shopping, entertainment and community center for the city and for Anne Arundel County.
