It's hard for anyone passing through Wheaton's downtown area to miss the massive structure rising from the ground at the corner of Reedie Drive and Georgia Avenue.
When completed, the 17-story building will include a Safeway grocery store and apartments.
The Safeway grocery store, under construction across from the Wheaton Metro Station, is anticipated to open late this summer, according to a report from the Wheaton Redevelopment Program. The apartments above the Safeway will be completed by this fall, the report said.
The new mixed-use facility will also include a SunTrust bank, Bergman’s drycleaner and a Starbucks, Patch reported in October.

Of course they will, where else will the Council warehouse all of the Sec. 8 vouchers they have backed up?
It sounds like you are hoping for the BF Saul plan....Ive given up on the county being anything other than being a giant piggybank for the unions, LEDC, and construction firms. If nothing else the debacle of the Silver Spring transit center or the current state of our schools and budget relative to Fairfax county shows that the Council cant manage its way out of a paper bag and has the spine of a wet noodle. My guess is this complex will have the same issues as Archstone and MetroPointe---overpriced for regular tenants so they fill their halls with voucher and remain vacant otherwise. Mixed use will consist of Safeway, 3 check cashing places and a beer store.
