The company that built Park Potomac will break ground next winter on a new retail/residential complex near the former White Flint Mall. The project, to be known as East Village, will replace some old office buildings on Nicholson Lane with a low-rise mix of stores, restaurants, living space, and ample parking for bikes as well as cars. “It’s going to be very transit-oriented, close to the Metro and Pike & Rose, with a definite village feel,” says Foulger-Pratt spokesman Lisa Wood, whose company is building the project with partner ProMark Real Estate. The first phase is scheduled to open in about three years.
