The Menkiti Group was recently awarded development rights from the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County to redevelop the 3300 block of Rhode Island Avenue in the heart of Mount Rainier, MD. The Menkiti Group will preserve and restore the existing building envelope, and ultimately program the space with a vibrant mix of commercial uses with 12 residential units above. The plan, which features a 5,500 SF hardware store, 3,000 SF arts incubator, 1,400 SF cafe/restaurant will create day and evening activation of the site and serve as a catalyst for the further development of nearby properties. This project will also feature many sustainable design features including restored facades, green roof elements, a 30 KW solar array, solar hot water, stormwater and gray water harvesting, and LID streetscape improvements.
