Rockville construction update: Saks Off 5th (Photos)

Construction continues at the future home of Saks Off 5th, the Saks Fifth Avenue equivalent of outlet shopping, at Congressional Plaza in Rockville. Here you will find merchandise from Saks at discounts up to 70% off, as well as unique items exclusive to Saks Off 5th.

But you don't expect the same company that once redesigned its flagship store in the Art Moderne style, inspired by the 1925 Paris Exposition, to simply occupy a standard retail unit. So the extensive reconstruction of this space won't likely surprise Saks shoppers in Rockville, who will have a much shorter trip on crowded MD 355 to reach a Saks store than they do today.
