New Development
|
Back in January we let you know about plans for Kensington Crossing– a new retail development that will be located at 10619 Connecticut Avenue (at Plyers Mill Road) in Kensington. Now we know that the development has signed its first tenant to take over its largest space (2,635 SF)– M&T Bank, which currently has a Kensington location on Howard Avenue.
No word yet on if this will be a second Kensington branch, but the likely scenario would involve the current branch moving to the new space. Per HRretail, only two locations remain available for lease (Spaces C and D). No word yet on what is moving in to the other spaces that have been leased.
