Back in January 2021, we let you know of site plans that were being developed for Kensington Crossing, a new retail development that will be located at 10619 Connecticut Avenue (at Plyers Mill Road) in Kensington. Yesterday, Montgomery Planning staff recommended approval (with conditions) for the project.
The site plan is limited to a maximum of 11,400 square feet of retail/service establishment and restaurant uses and one drive-thru lane associated with a bank. The Property is currently contains a vacant gas and service station and surface parking area. The main building and a temporary outbuilding are currently being used for seasonal retail sales. Vehicular access to the Property is currently unfettered – with four largely uncontrolled access points along both Connecticut Avenue and Plyers Mill Road. Two of the existing vehicular access points are located in very close proximity to the signalized intersection.
Though it’ll be some time until construction begins after final approval, Kensington Crossing has already signed it’s first three tenants– M&T Bank, Buffalo Wild Wings GO, and Mezeh.
