13227243, Downtown Silver Spring ain't happenin' captain.

As a former resident of that particular area, there's just not enough room for what Amazon is looking for. The Discovery building isn't big enough or on enough land. Amazon's HQ2 is supposed to be a campus with like 8 million square feet.

Best area for that in Moco right now would be the former site of White Flint Mall. Vacant, spacious, near metro and main arteries to get around the county.

White Oak would have worked, but FDA has that federal research center site sewn up. Gaithersburg could work as I hear Lake Forest mall is going belly up. There is some room over around Rt. 29 that could work as well.
