The Montgomery County Planning Commission approved a Wheaton Gateway request to extend the regulatory review period for the project’s sketch plan at its Feb. 10 meeting.

The Wheaton Gateway development team submitted a revised sketch plan to the Maryland-National Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) on December 24, 2021. You can review the sketch plan on the M-NCPPC website, HERE.

The Wheaton Gateway development partnership’s goal is to leverage HOC’s well-located assemblage of properties to develop, in several phases, a vibrant, mixed-use, mixed-income community of modern, energy-efficient buildings that host a variety of uses and amenities that the marketplace demands.

The Wheaton Gateway Sketch plan application was formally accepted by the Maryland-National Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) on March 15, 2021, and is available to view online now! We want to share these Sketch plans with you directly so that you have an opportunity to review them and provide us with direct feedback.

Last Thursday, nearly 100 members of the community, elected and appointed officials, civic associations, and other prominent leaders from throughout the broader Wheaton area joined a virtual Sketch Plan pre-submission community meeting for Wheaton Gateway with the project’s development team.

In advance of the virtual pre-submission meeting on December 3, you are invited to view the Sketch Plan online now. We are making the plans available in advance of the virtual meeting so you may review them, ask questions, and share feedback.

The Wheaton Gateway development team invites you to attend a virtual Sketch Plan pre-submission meeting on Thursday, December 3, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. At this meeting, representatives of our project team will discuss the proposal and answer questions about the redevelopment.

Dear Neighbor, Wheaton Gateway, LLC cordially invites you to attend a virtual Sketch Plan pre-submission meeting to review plans for the redevelopment of ± 5 acres of land near the intersection of University Boulevard and Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton, Maryland.

Move paves the way for start of development application process.

As we enter the final phase of the demolition of the former Ambassador Hotel, we are pleased to announce that the sidewalk segment, which is immediately adjacent to the Ambassador along westbound University Boulevard, will be open full time by the end of February.

The development team and demolition contractor are seeking to implement additional measures, in an abundance of caution, to help mitigate the risk of harm to pedestrians commuting around the demolition site.

Exterior demolition is anticipated to commence in the coming days. The entire demolition process will occur over the next 4 to 5 months, lasting through spring 2020.

In preparation for the next phase of demolition of the Ambassador Hotel, the Wheaton Gateway development team has filed the necessary traffic control plans and permits.

The commencement of demolition was delayed a couple of months, but earlier in September, interior abatement and demolition began and is currently underway.

Currently, preparations are being made ahead of the demolition of the Ambassador Hotel. We anticipate interior demolition will begin in July, and exterior demolition will begin in August.

Dear Wheaton Neighbor, you are invited to participate in the visioning of Wheaton Gateway, a proposed redevelopment located at the intersection of University Boulevard and Veirs Mill Road.
