(rshsdepot) Savage, MD--MARC station development

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/howard/bal-md.ho.savage22aug22,0,3343751.story?coll=bal-local-headlines

An Annapolis developer is proposing a $175 million residential, retail, office and hotel complex on the parking lot of the Savage MARC train station along the Howard-Anne Arundel county line - just the kind of dense development local officials want to see in the U.S. 1 corridor.

The plan, proposed by Petrie Ross Ventures, would serve local and regional goals for providing more living and working spaces near Fort Meade and the National Security Agency as federal base realignments bring thousands of new jobs to the region in coming years.

The project would put pedestrian-friendly, urban-style communities on the 15-acre parking lot and encourage train use in a corner of Howard County that has long been targeted for upscale redevelopment.

The developer's plans for the station, located next to an industrial park off Route 32 near Dorsey Run Road, are to be announced at a news conference at the station today by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

If the Savage Towne Centre concept is accepted by state and county governments, the state-owned station parking lot would be the site of 260 apartments in two high-rise buildings, a hotel, two restaurants, 53,000 square feet of retail space, a 145,000-square-foot office building and a five-story parking garage for 1,000 vehicles, according to a state fact sheet.
