HYATTSVILLE, MD-Post Properties has broken ground on its first new development in Maryland. The Atlanta-based company, which has operations in 10 markets, is building an $86.5-million luxury residential-retail mixed-use project in this submarket.

Called Post Park, the 6.8-acre complex will provide 396 units. Of these, 326 will be rentals and 70 will be condos, with a mix of studios, and one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Post Park will also have 1,700 sf of ground-floor retail space. The first apartment units are expected to be available in Q2 '09; the first condos in fall of 2009. Urban Pace LLC is handling the condominium presales.
