Upper Rock

Upper Rock District - The JBG Companies is developing a 20-acre site in Rockville, MD located on 1-270 at Shady Grove Road.  The vision for the development is that of a mixed-use, multi-family residential community with 844 new residences, and a variety of small scale retail and commercial spaces. Integral to the plan are progressive planning principles and features including live/work lofts, incubator retail, sustainable design, pedestrian focused public space, and a commitment to public art.

The Upper Rock District plan calls for 6 buildings ranging from 4 to 8 stories. The 4-story buildings are structured as wood frame apartments over concrete pedestal structures which include parking and live/work units. There will be below grade and above grade parking under the pedestal.

Grimm + Parker is designing the first two buildings in the development including an 8-story, signature building. These two buildings encompass 425 luxury condominiums, integral parking, and state-of-the-market amenities such as a pool, club room, fitness center, business center, conference room, and a media viewing room.  “Green roofs,” landscaped internal courtyards, and a landscaped plaza between the buildings are distinguishing elements that will set the tone for a new community.
