April 26, 2010 — Metro officials last week joined the City of Rockville and developers and builders of Twinbrook Station to celebrate the project’s official opening during an Earth Day ribbon-cutting—a nod to the environmental benefits of transit-oriented development (TOD).

Twinbrook Station, a public-private partnership between WMATA and The JBG Companies, will transform 26 acres adjacent to the Red Line into a 2.2-million-square-foot, mixed-use community. Metro officials joined the City of Rockville and developers at a ribbon-cutting that was for The Alaire, the first phase of the project featuring 279 smoke-free apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space. At full build-out, the project will include 1,595 residential units, 220,000 square feet of retail and 325,000 square feet of commercial space, along with a new park—all within walking distance to Twinbrook Metro.
