SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT  

Located in the heart of the City of Rockville, Maryland, this mixed-use development was built on the site of a public parking lot within two blocks of Metro’s Red Line. In addition to 485 new residential apartments, The Upton includes a 140-room Cambria Suites Hotel, 23,100 sf of retail, 6,600 sf of amenity space and parking. A future East phase will include additional residential, retail, and both above and below grade parking.

With the loss of a 361 space surface parking lot, a total of 1,156 parking spaces have been provided for this 1,400,000 SF development. In order to find an economically feasible design solution and at the same time hide the parking, the innovative design for each of the phases has a parking podium wrapped with single loaded hotel rooms and residential apartments, atop of which stands 7 and 10 stories of a double loaded corridor residential building.
