“The City of Rockville is working to expand housing options to help support the everyday heroes of our community, including teachers, firefighters, police offices, health professional staff, and other people who help our city, county, and state run,” said Monique Ashton, Mayor of Rockville. “We look forward to working with this joint venture [Comstock and SCG] to create more high-quality, transit-oriented, affordable housing that provides a safe place for residents to thrive.”

SCG is a respected leader in affordable housing development that specializes in community-centered housing solutions. They have been involved in the successful development of more than 100 properties across the United States, including Momentum @ Shady Grove, a similar affordable housing project developed by SCG and Comstock that sits adjacent to the Shady Grove Metro station and was delivered in 2020.

Comstock and SCG entered into a definitive purchase agreement for Comstock 41, which was acquired by a subsidiary of Comstock in late 2023 for approximately $1.5 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Comstock and SCG will enter into an operating agreement and a development agreement, under which Comstock will provide development management services to the joint venture. The Company will also be entitled to provide property management services once the development is ready for occupancy. The Comstock 41 transaction is expected to close upon approval of the construction plans by the City of Rockville. Financing will be arranged by SCG once the plans are approved.

“SCG is excited to announce the launch of Momentum at Rockville Station, which is currently in the planning and entitlement stages,” said Steven P. Wilson, President, SCG Development. “The development will provide much-needed affordable housing that is close to retail and office space and walkable to the Rockville Metro Station. As we navigate the planning and approval process, we are fully committed to collaborating with Comstock and local government officials to ensure the project’s success.”

Comstock and SCG will work closely together with the City of Rockville to secure approvals needed to maximize the number of affordable units the joint venture will deliver to the heart of Rockville Town Center. This adheres to the project’s vision to meet the City of Rockville’s growing housing needs and underscores the ongoing commitment of Comstock and SCG to provide accessibility to affordable, transit-oriented housing options that help foster community growth.

“We are thrilled to once again partner with SCG to deliver more high-quality, transit-oriented, affordable housing to Montgomery County’s fast-growing population,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Set alongside BLVD Forty Four and BLVD Ansel, Momentum @ Rockville Station will further expand Comstock’s footprint in the vibrant Rockville Town Center neighborhood. We’re helping to address the need for affordable transit-oriented housing.”
