Hughes Network Systems Leases Planned Technology Facility at Montgomery College

A joint-venture between Minkoff Development and South Duvall has signed a lease with Hughes Network Systems LLC to build a 140,000 square foot build-to-suit project on Montgomery College’s Germantown Campus.
The campus currently is home to the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science and Technology at Montgomery College (PIC MC) with Holy Cross Germantown Hospital as its anchor tenant. Located at 19710 Observation Drive in Germantown, adjacent to the Hughes headquarters complex, the new high-tech manufacturing building will house production of Hughes satellite broadband and networking equipment.

As part of the arrangement, Hughes and Montgomery College (MC) will continue to collaborate on training and educational initiatives.
