Wood Partners Development Company
Wood Partners Development Company will be building a 230 apartment complex on Ellin Road. It is next to the Pepco Center.
As of February 27, 2024, Construction continues. In the summer of 2023, parking of Wood Partners construction workers was a huge issue. With the parking garage completed the workers can park there now. Also, another issue are some construction equipment trailers and trucks are driving on Garrison Road to 78th Avenue. They using West Lanham Hills neighborhood as a shortcut. Now, with half of Ellin Road half open construction trailers, barriers cones, and dumpsters are blocking the road. There is no construction flagging traffic. It has become a safety issue. All these issues have been reported to Councilman Eric Olson's office, the Prince George's County Police, and the Wood Partners Developers.

The firm manages more than 38,000 apartments in 19 states, according to its website, and it has been on a spree of buying development sites to build housing. Just in the last two months, Dominium has announced the acquisitions of eight sites in Florida, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
