The Gateway area encompasses roughly 1,000 acres of business and industrial uses. Shortly after Columbia was founded, General Electric (GE) constructed an appliance manufacturing facility on a large tract of land the company had purchased from James Rouse. Appliance Park East operated for two decades until its closure in 1990. Rouse then re-purchased the land and began redeveloping the area into a suburban office park called Columbia Gateway. Now, several decades later, redevelopment is again envisioned and will be further explored through the master plan effort.
A crucial employment center, this office and industrial park is primed to see new development that can bring it to life 24/7. The County’s latest general plan, HoCo By Design, envisions Gateway transforming into a major hub for employment, entertainment, and innovation, offering new housing and job opportunities, open space, and multi-modal transportation options. Gateway is generally bound by Interstate 95, Maryland Route 175, Snowden River Parkway, and the CSX rail corridor. Its location, size, and current configuration contribute to the site’s significant potential
