Located at the key intersection of Rockville Pike and what’s now Josiah Henson Parkway (then Montrose Parkway) Pike & Rose opened its first phase approximately ten years ago– in 2014.
Named after Rockville Pike and Montrose Parkway, the project was described as a “pedestrian-oriented, urban-minded, mixed-use neighborhood across 24 acres. A key component in the area’s revitalization efforts, Pike & Rose will encompass 450,000 square feet of retail, 1.1 million square feet of office space, 1,500 residential units and a 300-room boutique hotel at full build out, all a few blocks from the White Flint Metro Station.”
The development took the place of longtime shopping center Mid-Pike Plaza, which was once home to Silver Diner, Toys R Us, Bally’s, E.J. Korvette, and many more retails shops and restaurants through the years.
In 2013, a year before the first phase opened, Federal Realty announced the execution of six tenant leases that were scheduled to open the following year in 2014. The six signings announced included:
Del Frisco’s Grille: Del Frisco’s Grille is a modern bar & grill dishing up creative twists on American comfort classics.
Protein Bar: Chicago favorite Protein Bar – known for serving healthy food, only healthier – offers flavorful food in a hip, trendy environment.
Roti : Offering fast-casual Mediterranean cuisine, Chicago-based Roti has focused its second phase of growth in the Washington, D.C. area, quickly growing its footprint to 11 regional locations. Roti’s Pike & Rose location will be its second in Montgomery County and will be on Old Georgetown Road.
ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen: ShopHouse, the new Southeast Asian concept by Chipotle, will open its fourth D.C.-area location at Pike & Rose on Old Georgetown Road.
Lettuce Entertain You: The Lettuce Entertain You restaurant group would be opening two restaurants at Pike & Rose, both of which were new concepts to the East Coast. The restaurants ended up being Summer House and Stella Barra Pizza.
In addition to the six new restaurants, the previously announced collection included the first iPic Theater in the region, along with its signature restaurant, Tanzy, and signature bar, Salt Bar. This ended up changing to the City Perch concept that is still operating today. Another announced space is the now-recently closed AMP By Strathmore venue.
