L.F. Jennings was recently awarded two new projects at Pike & Rose; a premier and quickly growing mixed use development in the heart of Montgomery County. These two projects are Block 1A and Block 8. Both are free standing two story retail buildings, poised to be great additions to the successful mixed use corridor.

Block 8 located on Rose Avenue will host REI, an outdoor recreation and sporting goods store. REI’s new store will feature a rustic yet modern design. Reclaimed wood and brick are complimented nicely by contemporary vertical and etched metal paneling. The building will also allow for natural light to pour into the space through large warehouse style windows. Additionally, the store’s entrances will be framed by large wood and steel trellises. Callison RTKL is the building’s architect.

Block 1A, also on Rose Avenue is a 2 story retail building, anchored by Pinstripes out of Chicago. Pinstripes offers a unique entertainment experience, combining all the fun of bowling with craft cocktails and Italian-American cuisine. Pinstripes’ entry faces the Pike & Rose central park and the restaurant and outdoor cafe seating are on the ground floor. The entire second level is occupied by Pinstripes and includes bowling lanes and an outdoor terrace on both the east and west sides of the building. The east terrace will have a bar and overlook the park. The remainder of the ground floor is street retail, anticipating 3-5 retailers/restaurants on the street. R2L is the building’s architect.
