The Metropolitan in Columbia Marks Milestone

A stone’s throw from The Mall in Columbia, a large-scale project called “The Metropolitan” has been a whirlwind of activity for more than a year; and now, its leasing office is open for business.

The first apartments at the residential-commercial complex will be ready Dec. 1.

Once the project is completely built out, it will include approximately 380 apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms, with luxury touches like quartz countertops and expresso wood cabinetry. There will also be 14,000 square feet of commercial space. Three restaurants have signed on as tenants, according to the Baltimore Business Journal, which said developers didn’t offer additional details.

In September, the Metropolitan’s temporary leasing center opened on Broken Land Parkway, scheduling tours by appointment and accepting deposits for apartments that will soon be ready for residents.

The project—which marks the first large-scale construction effort in the Downtown Columbia Plan, which calls for high-density residential and commercial development—broke ground in February 2013, according to Kettler, the developer that partnered with Howard Hughes Corporation and Orchard Development Corporation in the endeavor.

Exterior work will be finished by December, and the interior construction will be complete by March, the Baltimore Business Journal reports. Completion for the entire project is slated for August 2015, according to Clark Builders Group.

The Metropolitan is located at 10000 Town Center Avenue in Columbia. The leasing office is available at 410-992-3930 and is located at 11000 Broken Land Parkway.
