Adjacent to the Domain is the old IBM campus with a handful of high rises with 1.1 million square feet. Brandywine Realty Trust plans to seek a rezoning of that area for increased density. Total buildout is seeking building heights up to 360 feet. Those would be the tallest outside of downtown by far at the moment. The tallest plan for the Domain at the moment is 248 feet, but those haven't started yet. 360 feet tall would have been the 3rd tallest in the city just 15 years ago. It would have been unheard of then to imagine something that tall outside of downtown. Today is the first time I've seen the maxed out plan for the square footage, and it's a bit of a surprise. They have entitlements for up to 8 million square feet of office, hotel, residential and retail space, but this says they could seek additional entitlements for 17.4 million square feet. That would suggest a total of 25 million square feet of space just in the Broadmoor development alone. That's without considering all the space at the Domain next to it. With that amount of space, nevermind the height, it would be a true 2nd downtown. CapitalMetro also wants a metro rail station in the development. The rail stop would connect the Broadmoor development to downtown some 8 miles to the south.

This will make the area very dense, hope the re-zoning is approved.
