Taub, Esq. Note from the Executive Director Happy New Year, The pace of change in the City of Hyattsville and neighboring communities can be confusing. Glacial for some: then rapid and seemingly unstoppable by turns, and in large swaths. This is how the areas around the West Hyattsville and Prince George’s Plaza Metros are evolving and will continue to change. By the time you see construction equipment on a development site or a new open for business sign, that project or effort may already be 2 to 4 years in the making. Sometimes even longer. But planning, community input, permitting, financing, and a host of other factors both economic and political intervene and conspire to kill far more projects than anyone sees come to fruition. For these reasons and more, community and economic development require a persistent, long term commitment. And Hyattsville CDC wants everyone to know that we are in it for the long haul. And while there’s a back story to everything: in the end, we care most about the results we can touch and taste. Thankfully, as documented in this newsletter, there’s much new energy dedicated to revitalizing Hyattsville. Dynamic and functional new commercial property owners are on the ascent. We are investing in ourselves through a number of new, locally-owned, locally-grown businesses. And we are reinventing ourselves with a new generation of innovative non-profits, new annual activities and events: more bike races, community arts events. We’re very excited about this May’s “Bursting on the Scene” community paint project at the West Hyattsville Metro Station. And one of my new favorites to emerge is Hyattsville Elementary PTA’s the Zombie Run. “Arts & Ales” is Hyattsville CDC’s newest manifestation of the Downtown Hyattsville Arts Festival. We’re on a new site, by City Hall and the Justice Center; we’ve added a new focus on craft brewing; and the Festival is now going to turn 10 years old: a great example and reflection of the strides our community has made towards revitalization and sustainability. And we plan to keep making that event better each and every time. See you in September (23rd) for that. And there are still many more changes on the horizon for the City that require an engaged community. Will we see commencement of a Route One parking garage construction this year? Where will City Hall end up? What’s the next big project, the next cool new incoming business? We expect lots of exciting things to emerge here in 2017. So please don’t be a stranger! Stay tuned to HyCDC.org and our Facebook page for news, community bulletins, coffee crawls, and impromptu happy hours.

HCDC looks forward to the completion of the Maryland Milestones Anacostia Trails Heritage Center, projected to open this spring.

Kiplinger: Editors Park Townhomes + The Edition Last November, Ryan Homes/NVR and Fore Property Company broke ground on Editors Park: a mix of single-family townhomes, condominiums, apartments. The redevelopment of the 11-acre site will bring 86 townhomes, 40 condominiums, and 350 new apartments within walking distance to the Prince George’s Plaza Metro Station.

  • City of Hyattsville Wayfinding Signage System Program Development and Design Approach
    City of Hyattsville Wayfinding Signage System Program Development and Design Approach Sabra, Wang & Associates, Inc. 1504 Joh Avenue, Suite 160 Baltimore, MD 21227 Wayfinding Signage System I. Goal of Wayfinding Signage Program The purpose of this document is to present a plan for the City of Hyattsville Wayfinding program. The goal of the Wayfinding Signage Program is to direct City residents and visitors to parking areas, municipal buildings, and other attractions in a manner that is both direct and friendly. II. Existing Wayfinding Signs There is no existing system of wayfinding signs in the City. The signing for public parking along the Route 1 corridor is insufficient; there is generally no signing to public parking, and the signing that is installed for the courthouse is inadequate. There is signing to the 2 Metro stations in the city. There is no signing from US 1 to the historic district or other attractions within the City, and the historic district signing within the City is inadequate. The lack of signing on US 1 points to one of the greatest needs: directing local and non-local visitors to the existing parking and points-of-interest along the Route 1 / “Downtown” area. Figure 1. Photos of Existing Wayfinding / Attraction Signing for the City of Hyattsville 1. Historic District Sign on street name sign post. Note the text size is too small. 2. Typical “Lolipop” sign marking the City boundary. 3. Courthouse Public Parking sign. Note the sign is too low and too far off the roadway. 4. Typical Gateway Sign marking the City boundary.

  • Pall Mall: Regional Malls in Washington, D.C
    CMBS Surveillance Commentary: Pall Mall: Regional Malls in Washington, D.C. Are Smoking February 2015 Authors: Edward P. Dittmer, CFA | VP, CMBS Surveillance Analyst | [email protected] | 267 960-6043 William Tierney | AVP, CMBS Surveillance Analyst | [email protected] |267 960-6051 Morningstar Perspective The Washington, D.C. area, epicenter of the U.S. government and the home of several prestigious universities, also boasts some of the nation’s most successful shopping malls. With a myriad of shopping options within 25 miles of the nation’s capital, one mall stands out – Tysons Corner Center, which has transformed the area near McLean, Virginia, into a diverse, regional center since the mall opened nearly five decades ago. Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC considers four malls to be dominant, based on tenants, location and sales, as well as their ability to drive growth and development in the surrounding area. Another three are stable, well- performing core malls, while three are considered opportunistic, or possessing the potential for improvement, and three we consider transitional properties. Morningstar’s analysis considered key performance barometers, including sales per square foot, anchor stores and other tenants, improvements and renovations, proximity to mass transit, and market drivers in the surrounding area. As noted below, commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions rated by Morningstar have exposure to five of the properties – Tysons Galleria, Westfield Montgomery, Potomac Mills, the Mall at Prince Georges, and Lakeforest Mall. Of these five, Tysons Galleria and Westfield Montgomery are in CMBS transactions for which Morningstar was paid by the issuer to provide initial ratings. Introduction Regional malls in the Washington, D.C.
