Maryland breaks ground on $56 million Odenton MARC garage and transit-oriented development

Maryland and Anne Arundel County have broken ground on an approximately $56 million parking garage at the Odenton MARC station, the first phase of a broader transit-oriented development. The 1,100-space commuter facility will be built on a 13-acre site and is expected to free more than 30,000 square feet for additional development.

The garage is being delivered with the Maryland Economic Development Corporation and financed through Anne Arundel County, according to Governor Wes Moore’s office. The package includes $4 million in federal funding and a separate $750,000 Maryland Department of Transportation transit-oriented-development grant. Those contributions are financing components of the approximately $56 million garage, not additional statements of total project cost.

The broader first phase is planned to include 585 multifamily units: 130 affordable, 20 workforce and 435 market-rate homes. The state also identified more than 180,000 square feet of public amenity space. Homes for America and Questar were selected in November 2025 as development partners for the wider transit-oriented project.

Moore joined Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and Maryland Transportation Secretary Katie Thomson for the groundbreaking. The garage is expected to be completed in summer 2028.

For builders, parking-system suppliers and transit-oriented-development teams, the milestone confirms the garage has moved into delivery and unlocks land for later mixed-use work. The announcement does not establish a new open procurement. Any contracting package must be verified through the responsible public entity or development partner. Read the Maryland announcement.
