Comments on: Could Nearby “Arts District” Benefit CP? http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2007/341/ Helping imagine a great college town for a great university Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:03:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jennifer Hebert http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2007/341/comment-page-1/#comment-74566 Jennifer Hebert Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:07:02 +0000 http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2007/341/#comment-74566 Hello - This is Jennifer from EYA, the developer and builder of Arts District Hyattsville. I was just reading some of your comments and value your input. As mentioned, we have a large scale model which shows the entire project, accompanied by an aerial map. It is only two miles from College Park. We're open daily from 11am - 6pm, so feel free to stop by to see for yourself how nicely the development is taking shape. We've signed a lease with Busboys and Poets (a local DC restaurant, bar, and cafe), and both Tara Thai and Starbucks have signed letters of intent to occupy space. Arts District Hyattsville will certainly be a great option for off-campus housing - there's a UMD bus stop right out front of our sales office. It will also offer some of the most unique dining options in the area, including the popular Franklin's Brewery. We hope you're able to visit soon!

I just mapquested it, College Park and Hyattsville city halls are only 2.17 miles apart.

Supposedly they have a signed a lease with the trendy cafe/eatery Busboys and Poets for space in the as-yet unbuilt east-side development, and they are still in negotiations with Trader Joes. I live about 2 blocks from this project, so I am hopeful that it will raise property values to have cafes and such so nearby.

In just five or ten years, northern Prince George's County - from the D.C. line to the Howard County line - will be a dramatically different place.

It's going be a nice neighborhood, although, I cringe at the thought of more vehicular traffic on US-1. The Hyattsville H4x site is a good resource for Arts District updates and links - http://www.hyattsvilleh4x.com/ Shawn,
