 CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD – Prince George’s County Executive Jack Johnson today celebrated the groundbreaking of the ICON Condominiums, a redevelopment project near the Addison Road Metro Station.

“The ICON Condominiums development is a well-deserved and winning investment for the citizens of Prince George’s County,” Johnson said.  “It is advancing smart growth in the Capitol Heights community by providing transit-oriented development, where citizens will have easy access to public transportation, retail and dining right where they live.

Johnson was joined by Thomas Thompson, executive director, Redevelopment Authority; Victor Hoskins, secretary, Maryland’s Department of Housing and Community Development; and the developer, Dr. Mirza Baig, president, Dawn Limited Partnership.

The ICON Condominiums is a $70 million mixed-use development project located at the intersection of Addison Road and Central Avenue, at the Addison Road Metro Station.  The project consists of 400,000 square feet of residential, retail and commercial property, including 170 luxury condominium units, 25,000 square feet of commercial space, fitness, business and media centers, a recreation lounge, and roof-top swimming pool and picnic areas.
