Volunteers from real estate development firm worked with Rock Creek Conservancy for ‘Extreme Cleanup’
On what was dubbed the Twinbrook Extreme Cleanup, nearly 50 volunteers cleared away 4,000 pounds of debris along the Twinbrook portion of Rock Creek Park on Saturday, company officials announced. For the second year in a row, volunteers with JBG Companies, a Chevy-Chase-based real estate company, teamed up with Rock Creek Conservancy. This year, the crews set out to do some extreme cleaning in a wooded area off Fishers Lane near a few of JBG's developments—Twinbrook Station, the Health and Human Services campus and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease building, which is under construction. The folks at JBG submitted this photo to Patch on Monday.

Development plans now go before staff as part of a process the city is reconsidering.
The Rockville Planning Commission on Wednesday approved plans to tear down the old Giant Food building in Town Center and build an office-retail project. Chevy Chase-based JBG Companies plans to build a 25,100-square-foot building, with a Bank of America branch, retail and/or a restaurant on the ground floor, 13,600 square feet of office space on the second floor and underground parking. The commission voted 6 to 1 on the preliminary plans to subdivide the property at 275 N. Washington St. Commissioner David Hill voted against the subdivision. Hill said the city should not subdivide property in the second phase of Town Center redevelopment, when in the first phase—which included building Rockville Town Square—the city combined properties…

Retail-office project on the former store site would be the first piece of 'Town Center II.'
The former Giant Food site, a long-abandoned eyesore in Rockville Town Center, could be transformed into a vibrant mix of shopping, offices and apartments under a plan the Rockville Planning Commission is scheduled to consider Wednesday night.

GAO: A new 15-year lease of the Parklawn Building was properly evaluated.
Twinbrook’s future as a hub for federal facilities will get its second boost in three days as JBG Companies breaks ground on the new National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases building on Fishers Lane on Wednesday morning. On Monday, the U.S. Government Accountability Office denied the final protests of three developers seeking to move the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services out of the Parklawn Building, The Washington Post reported. In March, the U.S. General Services Administration awarded a $450 million, 15-year lease to JBG to keep HHS and its 3,000 employees in the building on Fishers Lane near the Twinbrook Metro station. The developer is spending $270 million to renovate 932,391 square feet of office space in the…
