GAITHERSBURG, MD. — Construction has topped out for Downtown Crown, a new multi-use project under construction on 180 acres in Gaithersburg. JBG Rosenfeld Retail and The Bozzuto Group are currently developing seven buildings and three garages that will contain 260,000 square feet of retail space along with a 538-unit apartment community known as The Cadence at Crown. The apartments will begin pre-leasing in the fall. Some retail tenants will open sooner than the projects’ spring 2014 grand opening. Starbucks Coffee will open in September, LA Fitness will open by the end of the year, and Harris Teeter will open in January. Ruth’s Chris Steak House has also signed on at Downtown Crown.
