Has the Retail Apocalypse Hit the DC Area?
POLICY BRIEF Has the Retail Apocalypse Hit the DC Area? Leah Brooks, Urbashee Paul and Rachel Shank APRIL 2018 POLICY BRIEF APRIL 2018 | LEAH BROOKS, URBASHEE PAUL AND RACHEL SHANK1 In 1977, the White Flint Mall opened to great acclaim as Maryland’s premier mall, complete with glass elevators, glamorous anchor stores, and an exciting eatery. Now, more than four decades later, White Flint Mall is situated in a sea of empty parking lots. Except for anchor tenant Lord and Taylor, with which the mall owner is in protracted litigation, the mall sits empty. About a decade before White Flint launched, Northern Virginia’s Tysons Corner Center opened, also to acclaim. Tyson’s Corner has seen continued success,2 welcoming Apple’s flagship store in 2001,3 and Spanx’s first brick and mortar store in 2012.4 The promised increase in walkability ushered in by the Silver Line expansion has heralded opportunity for new residential and commercial development.5 To what extent is this divergence due to e-commerce? The Rise of E-commerce Indeed, there is substantial evidence that brick-and-mortar retail is suffering. CNN Money10 reports that 2017 marked E-commerce dates to 1994, when the New York Times the highest number of retail store closure announcements in reported that Philadelphia’s Phil Brandenberger used his history. Within the past year, once-prominent malls in computer to purchase a Sting album. In the following year, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have closed almost 200 Amazon sold its first book, and Pierre Omidyar founded stores. And the wave seems unlikely to be over: Toys R Us Ebay.6 has recently declared bankruptcy, while long-time anchor tenants Sears, Kmart, J.C. -

Master Sector Plans from Tech Report
August 2013 Purple Line – Social Effects and Land Use Planning Technical Report 3.2 Affected Environment 3.2.1 Land Use, Zoning, and Planned Development The Purple Line study area comprises a variety of urban and suburban land uses, including residential, commercial, recreational, institutional, and industrial (see Figure 18). Land use in the Montgomery County portion of the corridor is largely residential, with commercial development in Bethesda and Silver Spring. In the Prince George’s County portion of the corridor, land uses include relatively large areas of recreational, institutional, and commercial uses scattered among primarily residential communities. Housing types and densities within the study area include single-family dwellings and both low-rise and high-rise apartment buildings. Clusters of higher density mixed-use development characterize the five major activity centers of Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma/Langley Park, College Park, and New Carrollton. With the exception of the area surrounding the University of Maryland (UMD) campus and M Square, most of the remainder of developed land in the study area contains low to medium-density residential and commercial uses. Current zoning concentrates urban growth around activity centers to support transit oriented development (TOD). Specialized TOD zoning districts where mixed-use development is permitted are located in downtown Bethesda and in the areas around the following proposed Purple Line stations, East Campus, College Park, Annapolis Road/Glenridge, and New Carrollton (see Figure 19). The mixed-use and commercial development zoning at other proposed Purple Line station locations also would be compatible with transit stations. Zoning is directed by land use planning efforts, including the Master Plans and Sector Plans discussed in the following section. -
