The Bethesda-based developer's 26-acre office park in the Shady Grove Life Sciencese Center is currently approvedfor 669,538 square feet of densit and the campus currently contains half of that, or 350,00o0 square feet. At a May 28 work session, the Montgomery County Planning Board decided to recommend in its drafr Gaithersburg West Master Plan that the property be developedd with up to twice asmuch density, or contain up to 1.34 millionn square feet of retail and residential space. The southwest cornee of the land currently includesa 272,000-square-foot, three-building complex that houses software and pharmaceutical tenants.
The nortb side of the property contains the Metropolita RegionalInformational Services' 72,000-square-foot headquarters. Last week, the boar d also recommended that Danac's Corridor Cities Transitway stop be located at or near itsnortheastern corner, near the intersectio of Diamondback Drive and Decoverly Drive. That is good news for since the board had left out the stop inearlierd drafts.
The transit stop near the cornefr may be developed whether the state retains the currentr road alignment or adoptsthe county's locally preferred The board also picked that locatiom because the northeastern corner is considere d to be convenient for pedestrians from the Decoverly residential "We have a long way to go, but we are encouragesd by the planning board's said Timothy Dugan, a Danac attorney. Several more work sessionsw are scheduled over the next two and in July the planning boarr will send its draft master plan to the county executivre who will have 60 days to review and commentg before it is sent to the counth councilfor deliberations.
