NEW YORK: The five hundred and eighty-eighth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
The $200 million redevelopment planned for a block of affordable housing in Silver Spring will go before the Montgomery County Planning Board next week for three key approvals.
Elizabeth Square, the joint project between the Lee Development Group and the Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) of Montgomery County, would bring a new 15-story apartment building, a 19-story apartment building, a county recreation center and pool and a renovated 16-story apartment building to Second Avenue and Fenwick Lane.
Lee Development Group says the project is needed to replace the Elizabeth House, a 14-story senior affordable housing building built in 1966.
