With a history of railroads and country roads turning to Metro stops and rails-to-trails, connecting Shady Grove with its neighbors and the world, The Laureate and its name honors our location. We are at the center of a dynamic and diverse community. By infusing the space with opportunities to connect, create, grow, and thrive, we are ready to help our residents become the laureate of their own unique and inspiring life stories.

With a name inspired by HOC guidelines, a laureate is a person honored due to their unparalleled contributions in an area of expertise. From astronomy to iambic pentameter, Maryland is home to two Nobel laureates, dozens of Pulitzer honorees, and is intentional in honoring those who contribute to community preservation, arts, and culture. The state’s own poet laureate program was created in 1959.
