Silver Spring mall sets fall grand reopening

WASHINGTON — The old City Place Mall in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland — now Ellsworth Place Mall — is now fully occupied after Guitar Center signed a lease for 14,500 square feet on the mall’s fourth level.

Petrie Richardson Ventures and Rockwood Capital acquired the 350,000-square-foot mall in 2012 and gave it a top-to-bottom interior and exterior renovation. The mall, which originally opened in 1992, is at 8661 Colesville Rd., directly across from popular music venue Fillmore Silver Spring.

Other tenants in the six-level mall include Burlington Coat Factory, Dave & Buster’s, Marshalls, Michaels, Ross and T.J. Maxx.

The mall’s grand reopening is scheduled for mid to late-fall.

The new Guitar Center location will open in the spring. It will be the company’s fourth location in the Washington market.

Annapolis-based Petrie Richardson Ventures also owns and operates Woodmore Towne Center in Glenarden, Maryland.
