leading private retail real estate companies, announced today the grand

Downtown" and will include a future metro stop, up to 1,500 upscale
condominiums and over 1 million square feet of Class-A office space.

occurring around this site, The Shoppes at Ryan Park is consistent with our
strategy to develop and own well-located projects," said Steve Boyle, Edens
& Avant Vice President of Development in the Mid-Atlantic. "Giant Food's
