[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is happening with the site where White Flint Mall used to be? It’s sitting empty for years now and just a bunch of overgrowth and rubble.

Did some Googling but the articles and posts were a few years old. Is the plan for a walkable retail area still in play? It’s an eyesore and drags down the whole strip. [/quote]

There was something in the news about this development. Wasn't the plan to develop a Health Sciences campus either for a university or for additional research space for existing Biotech firms in MoCo? They renamed the metro station from White Flint to North Bethesda station.[/quote]

The new UMd Institute for Health Computing signed a 10-year lease earlier this year but the building isn’t on the old White Flint property. It isn’t even a reasonable walk from the old White Flint Mall property or to a metro station. That the lease is for 10 years should tell you something about how far off development at the old White Flint Mall property. Then there’s the question of whether biotechs even want to move out of their office parks, which offer cheaper rents and more flexible space than compact urban commercial development does. [/quote]
