3 New Eateries Are Now Open at UTC!

From the Washington Business Journal: http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2008/10/27/daily24.html

Three new restaurants at the University Town Center have started serving customers.

The Mongolian Grill, Create A Salad and Tokyo Sushi opened in Hyattsville next to Old Dominion BrewHouse along Independence Plaza, which opened its doors last month.

The neighboring restaurants represent a packaged concept that their owners, the JRC Group LLC, first rolled out at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The salad spot is a new addition to the cluster at UTC.

The eateries share a large kitchen, so a California roll from the sushi bar could be accompanied with a beer from the brew house.

Combined, the four restaurants occupy 10,000 square feet.

Added to the restaurants already open at the $1.2 billion mixed-use UTC project, the 13 spots make up the largest clump of eateries at any one site in Prince George’s County.

“Bringing in new restaurants is a top priority for the county, as our population and economy continues to thrive and the demand for retail expands,” said Kwasi Holman, president and chief executive of Prince George’s County Economic Development Corp., in a statement.

Recently-executed leases at UTC include WMATA taking 40,000 square feet and a 50,000 square-foot lease with FEMA.
