FedEx Office is now open, Burton's opens tomorrow.
FedEx Office is now open.
They were only working on it for less than a month.
Burton's opens to the public tomorrow. This is probably the best picture I have seen of it.
Here is a link to the menu:

I also snapped a picture of the outdoor seating area... Looks like they still plan to add more seats out there. There is also a very small, couple table area in the back not pictured.

Gold's Gym Update:
Good news hanging on my front door when I got home today:
Looks like their website is live as of today as well:
https://www.goldsgym.com/riverdale-park-md/
I plan on joining this weekend... For now I am leaving the same estimate of March 2018 for the open date but I will update if/when I get new info.
UPDATE: Apparently the phone number listed goes to another location and they do not know anything about the Riverdale location. They also are not calling anyone back yet. So no new info.
UPDATE: Opening date is set for 3/21/18.. Updated the "Retail Opening Dates" section of the blog.

Railroad Sound Barrier Wall Update:
In this post from October I mentioned that there are plans to build a sound barrier down by the railroad tracks at some point to help with the train noise.

As I had said even way up in building #2 the train can be fairly loud at night so the wall should be a welcomed addition to the development.
The developer finally added a note about the wall to their periodic update earlier this week:
"CSX Sound Barrier Wall:
An Agreement was recently executed with CSX to allow the construction of a sound barrier wall along Maryland Avenue north of Wells Run Place. Shirley Contracting anticipates commencement of construction work by the second week of January."

Usually things start later than what their updates say but it's good that it is approved and will begin at some point soon. I think that (along with warmer weather) will help sell some of those units that are down by the train tracks in building #6.

Washington Post Article
Nice write up about the development around Route 1 in the Washington Post this week:

"
At the glitzy, four-month-old Hotel at the University of Maryland, the happy-hour group remarked on the MilkBoy ArtHouse, a hip new restaurant and music venue down Route 1. Just beyond it, in Riverdale Park, luxury townhouses with rooftop decks are selling near a new Whole Foods.

“It seems promising when you look at where College Park is,” Killion said. “There are a lot of cool things happening here.”
