Germantown apartment building could include retail

An apartment building under construction in Germantown is being eyed for an alternation that would yield some retail space.

Tribridge Residential and Stockbridge Capital Group, co-developers of the Hammer Mill building being built at Adams and Taylor streets, will ask that Metro amend the specific plan overlay for the 3.92-acre site to allow about 4,000 square feet of retail space in the building. If approved, the retail space would face Adams Street and replace three apartment units.
