Delayed downtown Silver Spring development to finally start in May

The planned redevelopment of the Gulf gas station at 8600 Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring is officially back on. An approved plan to replace the station with a 173-room, extended stay hotel has been delayed for over a year. The Gulf actually closed at one point, and then reopened when the project was put on hold for unknown reasons in late 2017.

A representative of Starr Capital, which is funding the project, said last evening that they now plan to commence the project in May. He called the brief closure of Gulf "a false start."

    Wow this was supposed to start over a year ago. Did the Starr Capital rep speak publicly about this ("last evening") or was this learned during an interview?

    Hope it is true. The gas station there is convenient (for those of us who live north of it and travel south), but not the best use of land for the space.
