Description:
The owner of  the City Place mall has proposed the addition of an office tower over the existing shopping mall.  The lower levels of the office building would also replace the vacant movie theaters currently on the top level of the mall.  246,588 square feet of new office space is proposed.  The resulting building would be 192’ tall. No additional parking is proposed on site. A significant financial contribution would be made to amenities in the Silver Spring CBD. (Note: An office tower was approved as part of the original plans for City Place; however, that approval expired.)
