court, 50’ speed bay, and two 9’ x 10’ dock doors per bay with drive-in capability. The site provides one parking space for every 1,000 square feet leased. “Despite the challenges the current environment pres- ents, the demand for quality industrial and R&D space in the area, and particularly Frederick, remains steady and encouraging,” said Brad Benna of the Matan Com- panies. “We approach the project with optimism and enthusiasm, and are grateful for the collaborative environ- ment that the county staff and leadership have cultivated. Welcoming new businesses and watching others grow here is what makes Frederick so attractive and is the key to long term sustainability of the community.” Center 85 is ideally located in the heart of the Route 85 corridor with excellent ac- cess north and south via the new $118,000,000 I-270/85 interchange. Walkable and nearby amenities abound, including hiking trails and a vast array of retail and hotel accommodations, making the development the premiere research and industrial park in the Fredrick Market. Bu i l d i ng #1 , t o t a l i ng 116,000 square feet, and Building #2, totaling 64,000 square feet, are scheduled to deliver simultaneously in July 2021 with Tenant Improvements commencing in May. Commencement of construction of Building #3, totaling 276,000 square feet, is dependent upon activity but is available to commence construction immediately and deliver on the same sched- ule. The remaining 100,000 square feet is planned as a Build-to-Suit option, and given Frederick County’s excellent Turbo Fast Track permitting process, affords a very aggressive and expedient schedule as well. The general contractor for the project is Morgan Keller and the project architect is Powers Brown .
