Montgomery County, Maryland has allocated $150 million for the area's development and envisions an eventual 20,000 residential population. The developer is Federal Realty Investment Trust, known for other mixed-use developments at nearby Bethesda Row as well as Santana Row in San Jose, California and Assembly Row in Somerville, Massachusetts.[3]

Elements of the complex include:[3]

  • Pallas, a 20-story building, of which the top half is residential and the bottom half is a Canopy by Hilton hotel
  • The Henri, another high-rise residential building that has architectural elements mimicking New York City's Puck Building
  • 909 Rose, a high-rise office building
  • 915 Meeting Street, a high-rise office building (tenants include Choice Hotels International and Sodexo)
  • 935 Prose, a high-rise office building (under construction)

The development is named after two of the roads that border it, Rockville Pike and Montrose Parkway.[4] Much of the development is on the former site of Mid-Pike Plaza, a shopping center whose original anchor tenant was an E.J. Korvette discount department store.[5]
