Called Little Patuxent Square, the project represents the first new commercial building constructed in the city\u2019s downtown since 2001.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project is developed by LPP Investors and constructed by Costello Construction. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/business\/bs-bz-little-patuxent-square-columbia-20130624,0,3448192.story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>The Baltimore Sun<\/em><\/a>, its total cost is $65 million. When finished, in 2016, the project will deliver a nine-story building constructed to high efficiency standards, on a 1.1 acre site near Lake Kittamaqundi. It will have 160,000 square feet of office and retail space, and 160 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residential units. The building will also feature green roofs, space for Zip cars and outlets for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Little Patuxent Square will be the first concrete frame office building in Columbia. According to a Howard County news release, most of the Class A office space has already been leased by a major Maryland-based technology company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are setting a new standard for quality development in Columbia,\u201d David Costello, owner of Costello Construction and a partner in Little Patuxent Square, said in a press statement. \u201cThe market demands the sustainability of LEED Silver construction and the convenience of a broad array of amenities.\u201d Costello added that the project will fill a growing need for high-end office space in Columbia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Little Patuxent Square is a key part of the next wave of growth in Downtown Columbia. In 2010, County Executive Ulman and the Howard County Council adopted a new plan for the area. It created the opportunity for new offices, homes and major community improvements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe next chapter of Downtown Columbia is unfolding before our eyes,\u201d County Executive Ulman said. \u201cThis project is happening now because Downtown Columbia has become a prime destination to live, work and play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Photo credits: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlepatuxentsquare.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>www.littlepatuxentsquare.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howard County Executive Ken Ulman was present in Columbia on Tuesday, July 29, to help break ground on a new, major commercial and residential development.
