Upper Marlboro, MD – Tomorrow, May 10, 2017 at 10AM, TripleStone Real Estate and the Patel Family will host a groundbreaking for the Cadillac Crossing Development Project, a $50 million mixed-use development in Brandywine, MD located on the US-301 corridor (southbound) across from Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center and anchored by Chipotle Restaurant, Lidl Grocery Store, Marriott Hotel, Verizon Wireless, an hibachi grill, a 10,000 square foot medical office building, and other commercial tenants.  The Cadillac Crossing development is significant because it represents the redevelopment of the site of the Cadillac Motel, a decades-old one-story motel built during Brandywine’s more rural past.  The Cadillac Crossing development is another important signal about Prince George’s County’s progress towards becoming an economic destination for the Washington, DC region.  County Councilman Mel Franklin (D-District 9), County Executive Rushern Baker, and Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) President & CEO James Coleman will give remarks at the groundbreaking.  Councilman Franklin issued the following statement:

“The Cadillac Crossing project builds on Prince George’s County’s impressive momentum in attracting better commercial amenities throughout the county.  Prince George’s County is no longer just a “bedroom community,” but instead is becoming an economic destination for the world.  The Brandywine area has become a significant focal point for local investment and job creation over the past 10 years and the Cadillac Crossing project will provide great new amenities for South County residents and businesses.  I especially would like to thank the Patel Family and TripleStone Real Estate for bringing this longstanding project to fruition and, most notably, Mani Patel, who became one of the first Indian-American hotel owners in the country in the 1970s.”

The Cadillac Crossing groundbreaking will be held at 16101 Crain Highway, Brandywine, MD from 10AM-12PM on May 10, 2017.
