Mazza Apparently Dead (AMMENDMENTS ADDED)

June 19th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Mazza Grandmarc

It appears that County Councilman Tom Dernoga has Killed the 660 graduate bed Mazza Grandmarc. The conditions he put on the project’s approval today will likely not go over well with Mazza’s investors. Chief among these conditons are:

Requiring LEED standards in the 11th hour
KICKER: Requiring a site plan approval for the two commercial parcels on the [...]

Mazza Brinksmanship Coming to an End?

June 8th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Mazza Grandmarc

The 60 day waiting period is almost up and the PG County Council is set to vote Monday on the approval of the Mazza Grandmarc – a 660 bed (largely graduate) student housing complex in northern College Park. The project has been stalled since May 2006 because Councilman Tom Dernoga “pulled it” for review. When [...]

Mazza Saga Continues

April 23rd, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Mazza Grandmarc

“Unbelievable” is the only way to describe the scene at the County Council chambers this morning in Upper Marlboro. The developer of the proposed 630 bed graduate student housing project Mazza Grandmarc (LOCATION) finally came before the Council almost a year after Councilmen Dernoga “called up” the project for review. They poured over the Detailed [...]

City Council, Student Leaders, RTCP Reach Major Compromise

March 14th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Downtown, General College Park, Housing, Knox Box Redevelopment, Mazza Grandmarc, Northgate Area, Route 1

We’re pleased to announce that a major (and in our view: reasonable) compromise was reached late last night on the impact fee waiver controversy. While everyone at the meeting agreed the boundary (that allows a county incentive for student housing) needs to be reduced from its original size (black line) to an area within the [...]

Mazza Grandmarc Gains Press Attention, Renderings Surface

February 19th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Mazza Grandmarc, Route 1

The Diamondback picked up today on the Mazza Grandmarc graduate housing story that we posted last Wednesday. We’re glad to see this project gaining some attention after languishing since last May. The Graduate Student Government is also poised to act. Apparently the developer, TDL Multifamily Developers of South Carolina, navigated 5 years of approvals before [...]

“Mazza Grandmarc” Student Housing Project Languishes

February 14th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Mazza Grandmarc, Route 1

After significant digging this is the information we have come up with:
The Mazza Grandmarc is a proposed four to five story 231-unit (630 bedroom) student housing project (here) that received preliminary approval in November 2004 and final approval from the PG County Planning Commission in May 2006. It would have been exclusively reserved for UMD [...]
