New photos of Plaza Lofts

I stopped by UTC yesterday and took some photos of Plaza Lofts Twenty-Two. You can see them on the photos page: http://www.utcliving.com/photos.cfm. You can get a much better view now that America Blvd is open. It seems like they're on schedule with the zinc installation - should be a very impressive looking building.

Hyattsville honing a new image

"The flurry of development near the Prince George's Plaza Metro stop in Hyattsville, including last weekend's opening of Hyattsville's first movie theater in decades, has sparked a grass-roots campaign among city officials and developers to get the word out about the changes in the city. University Town Center, Belcrest Center and the Mall at Prince George's, which share a corner at East-West Highway and Belcrest Road, and the city of Hyattsville are exploring options to give the new commercial district an identity."

An Opening Scene for a Developer's Dream

"A long-awaited effort to bring high-end retail to Prince George's County kicked off Friday with the opening of a 14-screen movie theater. The multiplex, built by Consolidated Theatres, is the first new theater in Prince George's in 10 years -- and the first in Hyattsville in 40. It's also the first commercial space to open in the $1.2 billion University Town Center development, about a mile from the University of Maryland and near the Hyattsville Metro station."

Movie theater opens today?

This came as a complete surprise to me, but I just read on the Consolidated Theatres web site that The Royale opens today - June 1 at 6pm!

Can anyone confirm? The building looked nowhere near ready to open when I was there two weeks ago - see below.
