Safeway shoppers will use an underground parking garage, and apartment residents have three levels of parking above the store. A cutback in the massing in between each tower allows for a fifth-floor courtyard above the residential parking garage.
The new Safeway will open for business in 2013, and will be followed by several other retailers at the location: a Starbucks, SunTrust, and a Bergman’s Drycleaners.
Developers originally intended to break ground early this spring, which puts the project only modestly behind schedule, not a bad achievement, all things considered.

Really happy they're making the most of this site (directly across a Wheaton metro entrance).
Finally. Hopefully the people leading the developement in Wheaton realize that closing the street level entrance on Georgia Avenue was a mistake (it was opened only because of the construction of another building above the entrance on the east side of Georgia). Having a glass Metro Canopy on the street and in plain view would add a nice reminder of the station's presence.
