Twinbrook Quarter (1500-1616 Rockville Pike) is a 12-story mixed-use office, retail, and residential tower that sits atop a parking podium. The building features 452 apartment units, 30,000 square feet of retail, and a 94,000-square-foot grocery store (Wegmans). In this article we summarize everything that has signed on in the new development.
Wegmans is officially opening later this month with a June 25th date set for its second Montgomery County store. The 80,000 square-foot store at 1590 Rockville Pike will employ approximately 400 people. “We are thrilled to become a part of this vibrant community,” said Rockville Store Manager Jamie Dominick.
Terra Gaucha, an authentic Churrascaria or Brazilian Steakhouse, will be located on the corner of Festival St. and Chapman Ave., off of Rockville Pike, behind the Wegmans grocery store. The restaurant has locations in Tampa and Jacksonville in Florida and recently opened a Connecticut restaurant in Stamford. An Indianapolis location is also coming soon. It’s scheduled to open later this year.
Genki Wagyu House and Molly Tea have signed on take the space, on the corner of Festival Street and Rockville Pike, next to the upcoming Wegmans. Genki operates a Fairfax location known as Genki Izakaya in Fairfax, VA and will offer the “ultimate Wagyu experience.” The restaurant is aiming for a late 2025 opening.
Molly Tea, originally from Shenzhen, China, is a Jasmine tea beverage franchise. “Inspired by the Four White Flowers of the East, we select the best mountain tea leaves and scent them with fresh flowers, with focus on Jasmine aromas and Chinese tea. Molly Tea aspires to explore all things Jasmine, allowing everyone to see the beauty of Chinese tea culture in their daily lives.” Molly Tea and Genki Wagyu House will be next to each other.
ZiZa Kabob, which opened its first restaurant at 7351 Assateague Dr. in Jessup, has signed on to open its second location in the Twinbrook Quarter development. ZiZa is associated with Baltimore’s Maiwand Grill and Kabul Grill. The restaurant offers homemade Afghan family recipes. It’s set to open later in 2025.
Bonne Nail Bar has also signed on to open Chapman Ave. in between ZiZa Kabob and a still-vacant space. There are now just three vacant retail/restaurant spaces available in the development, including a 4,283 SF space on the corner of Chapman Ave and Halpine Rd. It’s expected to open later this year.
Slurp Noodles has signed on to take the space on the corner of Halpine Rd. and Chapman Ave. behind Wegmans. We’re working on additional information for the upcoming business that could open in late 2025 or 2026.
