High Permitting Costs in County Detract from New Residential Development
Key Takeaways Region is growing… and recent trends demonstrate that growth will concentrate around Metro Prince George’s County has not captured its fair share of regional growth… and if we do nothing, more household and job loss is projected for the county Higher density, TOD products would generate significant tax revenues to Prince George’s… but market economics do not support development costs today GSA and private sector will not lead new office development today… but are committed to Prince George’s and look to county to signal partnership There is no shortage of retail availability in the Study Area… but the retail stock is aging and nothing new has been built since 1990 Some multi-family for-sale units around Green Line stations achieve top-of-market prices… but price appreciation in Study Area has not kept up with regional average Newer apartment stock in the Study Area commands high rents… but county impact fees make development costs infeasible
