Hillcrest / Skyland

SE

OVERVIEW

NESTLED BETWEEN TWO REGIONAL COMMUTER ROUTES, Hillcrest/Skyland’s easy access to Suitland Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue is a hidden gem. Residents can take the bus, train, car,
and bike travel to work options and have created a neighborhood- scale enclave around Skyland Town Center. With next phases of development scheduled for grand opening in the next few years, new development opportunities here will not remain a secret much longer.

  • Block 2 (2021 delivery) houses the Crest at Skyland (263 units & 84,000 SF of net rentable retail), as well as new road infrastructure.
  • Block 3 (2022 delivery) will consist of three one-story buildings offering 42,390 SF of retail, including Lidl and Starbucks.
  • Block 4 will become a five-story multifamily building with 252 apartments (including senior units) with up to 8,500 SF of retail, plus below-grade parkin
