Real Estate Overview
Rockville continues to ride the wave of redevelopment and economic
growth. Every year, more businesses are calling Rockville home and new
development projects such as Tower Oaks and Twinbrook Station are building
fine, quality homes for Rockville's growing population.
The city's five major development projects and planning sites continue to add to Rockville's rich culture, economic vitality,
and community diversity. While these projects and planning areas vary
in location, scope, and design, what ties them together is their unique,
mixed-use approach. Residential, retail, entertainment, and office
space all play vital parts in the development of these projects.
