Why Germantown, MD?

Germantown, the most vibrant submarket in the DC Metro region, is situated in the northwest section of Montgomery County, Maryland, north of the Capital Beltway (I-495) along Interstate 270. Fueled by the rapid population growth, emergent mix of commercial development, and reduced commute, Germantown is attracting many employers traditionally based in submarkets to the south.

If your company is looking to be closer to an abundant, highly-skilled and well educated work force, looking for a central location that provides affordable quality housing, quality schools, and a strong amenity base, and looking to improve your employees overall quality of life with a reduced commute, then the question really should be “Why Not Germantown?”

Germantown’s Growth

Since 2000, Germantown has recorded 57% population growth, is the fastest growing area of Montgomery County, and the third most populous area in the State of Maryland with 90,676 residents. With 750 multi-family units scheduled to deliver by 2015, the county’s first new hospital in 35 years opening in 2014, and a 200,000 square foot Wegman’s anchored retail development, Germantown is poised to remain one of Washington DC’s fastest growing submarkets.
