Largo development moves Prince George's County closer to walkable Blue Line corridor

The Promenade at Lottsford broke ground near the Downtown Largo Metro station, bringing a $340 million mixed-use project to the corner of McCormick Drive and Lottsford Road. The plan calls for 763 multifamily units in three buildings and 47,461 square feet of non-residential space, a combination meant to turn Largo into a place where people can live, shop and reach Metro without relying on a car for every trip.

Largo Town Center is a hub for government and medical services, drawing people from across the county, and one of three county-prioritized downtowns. The new development sits inside that effort, where officials want to convert station-area land into a more active, mixed-use center rather than a place people pass through on the way to other destinations.

The Blue Line Corridor strategy spans four Metro stations between Capitol Heights and Downtown Largo and covers a roughly ten-square-mile area with as much as 1,000 acres of underused or undeveloped land. The long-term plan has a 20-year horizon and calls for 4,000 jobs a year, $100 million more in commercial tax collections annually, 50,000 additional residents and 26,000 housing units by 2030, with 75% of them affordable.

Tracy Benjamin, the county’s economic development officer, said the project marks a new phase after years of discussion. WMATA says the development will add affordable housing and neighborhood-serving retail space and advance the broader Blue Line vision. Largo’s Metro access, healthcare infrastructure and available development sites make it attractive to employers, residents and investors.

Civic Plaza at the Wayne K. Curry Administration Building broke ground in April 2025, and WMATA selected Atlantic Pacific Companies in January 2026 for the Capitol Heights Station joint development, which will replace about 3.8 acres of surface parking with 320 affordable apartments and about 10,000 square feet of retail.
