The Commission has solicited proposals from development firms to plan, design, and construct a mixed-use project in Downtown Silver Spring. The Commission seeks to leverage its existing 3.24-acre site in Downtown Silver Spring (the Montgomery Regional Office Site) to create an exemplary project that satisfies the Commission’s long-term facility needs and overall planning, urban design, environmental, and economic objectives. The Headquarters and Mixed-Use Project will consist of two integrated components: a new headquarters facility for the Parks Department and the Planning Department of approximately 120,000 square feet, and a residential component with a minimum of 30 percent affordable units. The Project is to reflect current planning and design principles through the use of green architecture, exemplary urban design, transportation management, mixed-income housing, and public/private joint development. In fulfilling open space requirements, the developer should provide a design that is supportive and emblematic of the Commission’s mission. Public presentation of development proposals will be as follows:
