Simon Property Group announced that it has broken ground on Clarksburg Premium Outlets, a new multi-million dollar mall project in Montgomery County, Maryland in the Greater Washington DC Metro area.

 
The Outlet center is a joint venture between Simon, New England Development and Streetscape Partners that will have 392,000-square-feet of leasable space for over 90 retailers. Apparel, footwear, fashion accessories, leather goods, home furnishings and specialty brands will be available at 25% to 65% off every day.
 
Douglas Karp, the President of New England Development, revealed that the project will create, “300 to 500 construction jobs and more than 800 full-time and part-time retail jobs upon opening.”

"We are excited to be breaking ground on this project which has already been so well received," said Steven Dworkin, Senior Vice President of Development for Simon Premium Outlets. "We look forward to bringing Premium Outlet shopping to the market."
 
Streetscape Partners' Co-Managing Principals Harris Schwalb and Ron Kaplan said, "As residents of Montgomery County, we care deeply about enhancing the community we live in and our passion for creating architecturally interesting, pedestrian friendly mixed-use developments is what distinguishes us from our competition.  We are thrilled to be creating a signature development that will enhance the Clarksburg community and be a major contributor to the economics of Montgomery County."
 
Clarksburg Premium Outlets is slated to open in October 2016. It will join two additional Simon Outlets, Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets and Hagerstown Premium Outlets, in the Washington DC area.
