Planning Board Okays Massive Expansion of Montgomery Mall
The Montgomery County Planning Board recently approved Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield’s (URW) expansion of the Westfield Montgomery mall in Bethesda, MD that will yield nearly three million square feet of development, Bethesda Magazine reported.
The board unanimously approved the plans, which URW first announced in the fall of 2018. The plans include 2.9 million square feet of new retail space and 717 residences.
Most of the construction will occur on the northern side of the property, which has parking lots and two vacant Sears stores.
The project is projected to be completed in three phases spanning a decade. Phase one will include the demolition of the vacant Sears stores and construction of 127,800 square feet of retail in a plaza external to the mall.
Also included are a four-level, 135,492-square-foot fitness center on the eastern portion of the property; a 100-foot-tall building with 413 residences; a new bike path and a parking garage.
