Gaithersburg's Missile Site Redevelopment

Muddy Branch

Pleasants Development has filed plans with the City of Gaithersburg for the redevelopment of 770 Muddy Branch Road into 376 multifamily units across three four-story buildings on the 13.7-acre parcel. This would be slightly different plan than the 380-unit, four-building, five-story sketch plan the city approved back in 2023. In addition to the new residences, the development plans include a playground, a dog park, internal private streets, and a mix of surface and garage parking. A pedestrian connection to the adjacent Muddy Branch Square Shopping Center is planned, though — consistent with the 2023 approval and neighborhood feedback — there will be no direct pedestrian link to the Lakelands Ridge community to the south.
