The Blairs stands as a shining example of an energetic, urban live-work-play development.  This 27-acre complex located one block from the Silver Spring Metro is a virtual "city within a city," and is home to a  thriving outdoor shopping mall, boutique office space and thousands of apartment homes.   It is also home of the Blair Towns, 78 ecologically friendly rental townhouses, and the first apartments in the country to be LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the United States Green Building Council.
