Marketplace at Potomac occupies an 18-acre parcel on Potomac Station Dr. at the intersection of Route 7 and Route 15. The center will feature a wide range of tenants, and among those that will soon open their doors are Caribou Coffee, Hollywood Video, Subway, Tiger Den-Tae Kwon Do and the UPS Store.

Edens & Avant has been hard at work in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Marketplace at Potomac's Giant Food store opened within one week of a Safeway grocery store at another one of the developer's new projects, the 86,500-sf Arundel Village in Hanover, MD, also a Necessity Retail Center. Located just two miles away from the Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Arundel Village cost $20 million to complete and has already signed on nine more tenants. "In the Mid-Atlantic Region, we've developed $100 million worth of Necessity Retail Centers," Suzi Sale-Korper, Edens & Avant corporate marketing and communications vice president, tells GlobeSt.com. "We're planning $300 million in new shopping centers in the greater Wahsington, DC area."
