Carrollton Station
In the late 1990s, Mr. Gingles worked on the
land use and zoning approvals which allowed
for the development of the Berman Family’s
New Carrollton property (MetroView), including
the vertical construction of the 1.2 million
square foot IRS facility that exists there today.
In addition to providing land use and zoning
counsel for the 2001 construction of a 325,000
square foot built to suit office building for
Computer Sciences Corporation, Mr. Gingles
implemented processes to expedite the
issuance of its permits and construction, which
resulted in Berman Enterprises delivering the
building ahead of schedule and on budget.
In 2013, the State of Maryland selected the
New Carrollton site for a mixed-use project
anchored by the Maryland Department of
Housing and Community Development
Headquarters and up to 2,400 residential
units, 100,000 sf of retail and a 300-room
hotel. The DHCD Headquarters will be the first
State agency to relocate to Prince George’s
County, and its relocation will bring over 300
employees to the New Carrollton site.
DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS
Some of the more complex projects on which
we have worked are detailed below.
Konterra
Since 1994, Mr. Gingles has been engaged with
the Gould Family on the development of
Konterra, a 2,200-acre mixed-use development
situated in Prince George's and Montgomery
Counties, Maryland, straddling Interstate 95
near the Intercounty Connector.
Konterra Town Center is envisioned to be the
focal point of the Baltimore-Washington
corridor. The first phase will be completed in
2016 and will include a mixed-use town center,
upscale retail and hospitality venues,
technology campuses, educational institutions,
and residential and business communities.
Mr. Gingles worked with County and State
officials to obtain approvals for the Conceptual
Site Plan, Preliminary Plan of Subdivision and a
Detailed Site Plan for the 132-acre core, as well
as assisting in the negotiation of millions of
dollars in public and private transportation
infrastructure required for the project.
National Harbor
Since 1995, Mr. Gingles has worked with
County officials and local residents to address
myriad issues including historic preservation,
traffic and environmental concerns in order to
obtain the necessary conceptual site plan and
preliminary plan of subdivision approvals for
National Harbor, the largest multi-use project
on the East Coast.
In the ensuing years, Mr. Gingles’ persuasive
arguments before local community
organizations and County officials were pivotal
in negotiating public financing, minority
business issues, liquor licensing practices, and
the subsequent addition of 2,500 luxury
residential units not included in the initial
plans.
