What Roadside Development does

Roadside Development is a privately held Washington, DC-based real estate development firm operating across six integrated service lines: Planning + Development, Investments, Construction + Project Management, Asset + Property Management, Project Leasing, and Tenant Representation. The company focuses on community-enhancing mixed-use, adaptive reuse, and transit-oriented developments in the DC metro area spanning Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with a portfolio of 19 distinct properties and a built footprint exceeding 9 million square feet across active and legacy projects.

Its core product is large-scale mixed-use real estate: flagship projects include City Ridge (1.8 million SF on the former Fannie Mae campus, anchored by D.C.'s first Wegmans with 690 residential units), City Market at O (1 million SF revitalizing the historic O Street Market with a 182-room Hyatt hotel, 418 luxury apartments, and a flagship Giant Food), and Capital One Tysons (5 million SF mixed-use development serving as Capital One's headquarters with 12,000 on-site associates and a 1,800-seat performing arts center). More recent additions include the 2026 acquisition of the 600,000 SF Bethesda Towers office campus in partnership with Hudson Bay Capital. Notable tenant relationships span Wegmans (multiple anchors), Giant Food, Apple, REI, Hyatt, Capital One, and a long tail of national and local retailers.

The business model is asset-based development combined with fee and service revenue. Roadside generates value by acquiring underutilized or repositionable urban properties, securing high-quality anchor tenants through its tenant representation and project leasing arms, executing mixed-use development via its in-house construction team, and then managing assets long-term. Capital is sourced through privately held structures with investment partners (most recently Hudson Bay Capital), providing flexibility that the company emphasizes as a differentiator versus institutional timelines. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and pricing/transaction terms are quote-based and handled through direct contact with internal acquisitions and leasing teams.
