New developer confirmed for Silver Spring’s $3B Viva White Oak

We reported in January that Baltimore-based MCB Real Estate was taking up the torch for the stalled project, and that it was anticipated to break ground in the latter half of next year, citing County Executive Marc Elrich’s budget proposal at the time.
