Trammell Crow gets site plan approval for first phase of big Rockville life science lab project

Development giant Trammell Crow Co. has gained site plan approval for a trio of new life science buildings on Johns Hopkins’ Belward Campus in Rockville, bringing that erstwhile farm a step closer to what could wind up becoming a considerable amount of new development. “Life sciences and biotherapeutics is one of the most explosive industries, and it needs growth,” Eric Fischer, a Trammell Crow managing director, told the Montgomery County Planning Board at a public hearing March 30.
