New retail center going up in DC-metro area

Simon on Wednesday broke ground on Clarksburg Premium Outlets, in Montgomery County, Maryland.



This multi-million dollar project, which upon completion, will offer a collection of over 90 retailers. The center, scheduled to open in October 2016, is a joint venture between Simon, New England Development, and Streetscape Partners.



Located in one of the country's highest-income regions, and only 30 miles from the Washington, D.C., metro area, the center will feature 392,000 sq. ft. of leasable space.



"We are excited to be breaking ground on this project which has already been so well received," said Steven Dworkin, senior VP of development for Simon Premium Outlets. "We look forward to bringing Premium Outlet shopping to the market."
