Exclusive Look At Construction of Twinbrook Quarter, Including the Future Rockville Wegmans (Video)

Published December 29, 2022 at 10:57AM

Work continues on Phase One of Twinbrook Quarter, the upcoming development located on the southwest corner of the property at Rockville Pike and Halpine Road. It includes residential, office and commercial space, and will include Montgomery County’s second Wegmans (video of construction from this week available below).

Mid November update: Level 4 concrete pouring is scheduled for completion by the end of November. Levels 1 – 4 will define the space for Wegmans, other retail amenities, and the parking garage. Framing for concrete on Level 5 began last week. From this point on, all future levels will be devoted to the apartment building, going up to the 12th floor. Conditions and weather permitting, the hope is to complete pouring all levels by late Spring/early Summer 2023. Construction on the building façade should begin in early 2023. Wegmans itself is not expected to open until at least 2024. More on what to expect when the project is completed in 2024-2025, per Twinbrook Quarter:

The restaurant tells us, “There’s lots of misconception when it comes to “EggMania”. In American culture eggs based dishes are primarily used during breakfast whereas in popular Indian street food culture, eggs based dishes are made for entrees and served during lunch / dinner and full menu items, not just breakfast. EggMania is not breakfast place. Hope to serve the community and bring this delicious food options for our MoCo residents and surrounding very soon…!!”
