Another residential-over-retail building could rise over Eisenhower East.
The Red Fox Development Co. is proposing a new building near Hoffman Town Center and the popular Wegmans in the neighborhood.
The Washington Business Journal reported that the project "at 2425 Mill Road [is] anticipated to weigh in at some 700,000 square feet, including 750 residential units and 40,000 square feet of retail. Including parking, the project would comprise about 1.1 million square feet."
The project would go on the vacant land just northeast of where Mandeville Lane connects to Telegraph Road northbound. Construction wouldn't start until at least 2026.
Nearby, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) requested development proposals for its half-acre lot at 2403-2415 Mill Road. "Metro's joint development projects are private developments creating vibrant, mixed-use communities on transit-owned property that require coordination with transit facilities. By working with developers to integrate transit and community development, joint development brings more jobs and housing closer to transit which generates increased transit ridership and helps foster regional partnerships in support of Metro’s Strategic Transformation Plan," WMATA explained in its RFP announcement.
Eisenhower East has been a hotbed of development in the past few years, with multiple new residential-over-retail buildings popping up in the neighborhood. There are still a few vacant lots in the area, including directly across Mill Road from the Red Fox Development Co. proposal.
Another large vacant lot just southeast of the Red Fox Development site, at 765 John Carlyle Dr., was supposed to welcome a medical facility alongside senior-living residences, but the project has stalled.
