- Friendship Heights redevelopment clears key hurdle with Montgomery Co. approval
The Montgomery County Planning Board approved the Friendship Commons redevelopment project at the former GEICO headquarters in Friendship Heights, Maryland, with a 5-0 vote. The project, a mixed-use residential community near the Friendship Heights Metro station, faces opposition over tree removal and green space reduction, and a lawsuit by the Friendship Heights Village Council. Supporters argue it addresses housing shortages with affordable housing and transforms an underused office campus.
