The Stronach Group, Maryland Senator Guy Guzzone and Howard County Council Chair Christiana Rigby were onhand Friday for the groundbreaking of Phase 1 of Laurel Park Station, a mixed-used transit-oriented development located adjacent to Laurel Park Racetrack.
“Laurel Park Station is a great example of smart growth,” said Maryland Senator Guy Guzzone. “Creating connections is a key goal of development throughout the state, and The Stronach Group's vision has connectivity at its core.”
Laurel Park Station will feature a new MARC train station, which will be conveniently linked to the surrounding community. Phase 1 of Laurel Park Station will feature 220 condominiums and town homes, a community garden and sport park. As the homebuilder for Phase 1, Ryan Homes expects to deliver the first units in spring 2020.
In addition to a new MARC rail station, the 63-acre Laurel Park Station will include 1,000 residential units, 127,000 square feet of retail space, 650,000 square feet of commercial/office space and 22 acres of open space that will feature a kayak launch on the Patuxent River in addition to walking and running trails.
“We see Laurel Park Station as transformational for North Laurel, Route 1 and the greater southern Howard County area,” said Bill Hecht, CEO of Stronach Properties. “The scale of the project sets the stage for a major impact on the local economy resulting in community interaction, active living and environmental sustainability. Laurel Park Station is a great example of smart growth that will enhance regional transit offerings and improve access to transportation for the region while creating a high quality, connected community.”
