About Us

University Town Center began as Prince George's Metro Center in 1961 with the vision of a city-within-a-city. The core office buildings were designed by noted architect Edward Durrell Stone. In 2001 the first phase of new development began with the addition of the modern, Class A office building, Metro 4, and above-ground parking structure, Garage A. In 2005 construction began on the second phase of new development in what is now known as University Town Center in reference to the proximity to the University of Maryland main campus. Garage B was created below what would become the Towers at UTC, One Independence Plaza Condominiums, Lofts 22 Condominiums, retail storefronts and Independence Plaza. By 2007 construction was substantially complete with retail end caps added to the Metro 1 and Metro 2 office buildings, and the construction of the new Metro 5 office building integrated into the structure of the Royale 14 movie theater with additional retail frontage.
