First retail tenants announced for Central development in Silver Spring (Photos)

Developer Grosvenor Americas announced yesterday it has signed the first two commercial tenants for the ground floor retail space in its new Central development in Silver Spring. Both are gyms. Pure Barre has leased a 1200 SF space at Central, and Orangetheory Fitness will move into a 3800 SF space. Each will open in early 2018.

“We set merchandising goals over a year ago when kicking off our leasing process, and are extremely excited about our first two leases.  Pure Barre and Orangetheory are both first class operators who help set the tone for the retail experience to be offered at Central,” said Brad Buslik of H&R Retail, who is representing Grosvenor for retail leasing at Central. “Our goal is to provide to the local community an eclectic group of retailers that bring energy and excitement to Silver Spring,” said Jon Carr, Grosvenor Senior Vice President. “Pure Barre and Orangetheory Fitness are two of the most popular fitness experiences in the country, and we are looking forward to our new partnership with these franchises which complement each other in support of health and wellness.”

When completed at 8455 Fenton Street, Central will offer a total of 243 rental apartments, and 17,000 SF of retail/restaurant space. Central is located steps away from the world-class Silver Spring Library and future Purple Line station.
