"The flurry of development near the Prince George's Plaza Metro stop in Hyattsville, including last weekend's opening of Hyattsville's first movie theater in decades, has sparked a grass-roots campaign among city officials and developers to get the word out about the changes in the city. University Town Center, Belcrest Center and the Mall at Prince George's, which share a corner at East-West Highway and Belcrest Road, and the city of Hyattsville are exploring options to give the new commercial district an identity."

"A long-awaited effort to bring high-end retail to Prince George's County kicked off Friday with the opening of a 14-screen movie theater. The multiplex, built by Consolidated Theatres, is the first new theater in Prince George's in 10 years -- and the first in Hyattsville in 40. It's also the first commercial space to open in the $1.2 billion University Town Center development, about a mile from the University of Maryland and near the Hyattsville Metro station."

"Phones have been ringing all day at the Towers at University Town Center, a Hyattsville apartment complex that houses students at several Washington area schools, Vice President for Leasing Tim Taylor said. While the Towers were 10 percent full at this time last year, they're now 50 percent booked, he said."
