New Townhomes Coming to Westside at Shady Grove Metro

From EYA: New Luxury Townhomes: Significant progress continues at EYA’s Westside at Shady Grove Metro, the region’s newest transit oriented community located at the Red Line terminus in Rockville. Among the development’s newest additions is The Daley, a mixed-used building co-developed by EYA and Bozzuto that features luxury apartments and ground floor retail.

Opening in June, The Daley includes 333 apartment residences and 17,000 square feet of new retail space along Gramercy Boulevard. The first announced retail tenants include Starbucks and Beauty Sense Nails and Spa, with the first retailers targeting openings in September.

“We’ve had strong interest in the retail at Westside and are currently in negotiation with a number of exciting tenants,” said McLean Quinn, EYA Vice President of Land Acquisition and Development. “We anticipate our mix will include several restaurants and neighborhood convenience businesses. We’ve also had several conversations with larger grocery and pharmacy operators interested in future phases of the project.”

Adding to the momentum, EYA has just introduced two new townhome floorplans at Westside -- the Fitzgerald and Gershwin -- that are competitively priced and ideally suited for families seeking a starter home. The floor plans include a two-car garage and an optional loft with rooftop terrace.

“The new units were developed to target the ‘missing middle’ in new home construction in the county,” said Quinn. “They provide three bedrooms on one level in a thoughtfully designed, compact floor plan. With prices that start in the mid $500,000’s, this a wonderful opportunity to own a new home in a walkable, mixed-use community adjacent to the Metro.”

Now that the new Metro access connection and signal are open, Westside residents can walk from Columbus Avenue to the Shady Grove Station in as little as two minutes.

In addition, EYA has installed three Capital Bikeshare stations at Westside, one the Metro entrance, one adjacent to the retail core, and one central to the townhome community. Plans for a new Zipcar station will add to the conveniences for residents and visitors. Future amenities coming to the community include a clubhouse, outdoor pool, community garden, and parks.
