RIO Washingtonian Center

RIO Washingtonian Center, stylized as rio, is a 760,000 sq ft (71,000 m²) hybrid power center and lifestyle center with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in Gaithersburg, Maryland located immediately south of the interchange between Interstate 270 and 370. The original RIO building opened in 1982, while the adjacent "Washingtonian Center" and "Washingtonian Waterfront" were developed in 1997 and 2004. It underwent a $30 million renovation in 2020.^[1][2][3][4] The center is adjacent to the U.S. headquarters for Sodexo and four Marriott-branded hotels.
