Washingtonian features Riverdale Park Station

RIVERDALE PARK, MARYLAND
In their “9 Coolest Developments Coming to Washington in 2017,” the Washingtonian featured Cafritz’s Riverdale Park Station. For the 37-acre tract, MV+A completed the rezoning and master plan, and is now completing construction administration for the development. Associate Architect Ameneh Amirhakimi explains some of the highlights: “As a mixed-use town center, Riverdale Park services the neighboring community – the first Whole Foods Market in Prince George’s County, of course, plus a bridge that relieves traffic from Baltimore Avenue, and LEED certified with loads of internal greenspace. The buildings evoke mid-town America, as though they were built in different eras and the town center evolved over time. One of my favorite elements is the clock tower, which adds a strong vertical dimension. When complete, it will be an important wayfinding element.”
