Westphalia Town Center, located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Melwood Road in Upper Marlboro, continues to advance through ongoing planning and refinement efforts. A recently updated conceptual site plan (October 2025), prepared by Heritage Partners, reflects an evolution of the original vision to better align with current market conditions, infrastructure planning, and community context.

The updated plan illustrates a more streamlined town center layout with a reduced retail footprint and the addition of townhome residences. This approach supports a balanced, mixed-use environment that integrates residential living with thoughtfully planned commercial and service uses. As with all conceptual plans, the layout and uses shown remain subject to change as design, approvals, and market considerations continue to progress.

Planning and coordination efforts remain ongoing to ensure future development aligns with long-term goals for walkability, accessibility, and neighborhood connectivity, while maintaining flexibility as the project moves through future phases.

What’s Coming (Anticipated Uses)

As planning continues, Westphalia Town Center is exploring a range of potential commercial and service uses intended to support both residents and the surrounding community. While no tenants or operators are finalized at this time, anticipated categories may include:

• A neighborhood-oriented grocery component

• A fitness and wellness facility

• Food and beverage options, including fast-casual dining

• Convenience-focused services, potentially including fuel and retail

All prospective uses are preliminary, subject to change, and dependent on market demand, approvals, and future agreements.
