Silver Spring construction update: Central apartments (Photos)

Central, a new mixed-use development by Grosvenor Americas, is still in the early stages but rising to street level at 8455 Fenton Street in downtown Silver Spring. It is also right by the new Silver Spring Library, an outstanding, free amenity.

The final project will include 243 residential units, including 31 affordable units, and 17,000 SF of ground floor retail space.

A new First Baptist Church will be built to replace the church building that was demolished, and a walkway between Wayne Avenue and Bonifant Street will be constructed.

Amenities will include an outdoor pool and lounge, 24-hour business center, yoga studio and rooftop deck and lounge. The architect is SK&I Architectural Design Group.

Delivery is expected in the fall of 2017.
