Free State Mall Phase II on the Horizon

BOWIE, MD-The redevelopment of Free State Mall has taken another big step forward with the recent announcement of Phase II of the massive endeavor. Property owner JBG Rosenfeld Retail has revealed that the Giant Food store at the 323,000-sf mall will expand into a 63,000-sf segment of the shopping center under a new long-term lease. The space, currently occupied by a handful of retailers, will be redeveloped to accommodate the grocery store.

The recently completed Phase I called for some demolition activity and the creation of 46,000 sf of new retail space. Most of the tenants that will be misplaced as a result of the Giant Food move will relocate to Phase I of the project. Giant has been the Free State Mall’s anchor since the property’s inception in 1972. The retail destination last underwent a major renovation in 1995.
