The mall is currently going through revitalization upgrades that will expand the mall to more than 1.5 million square feet featuring more than 200 stores. “Westfield Montgomery is centrally located on the Capital Beltway providing easy access for the north side of the district, while CXI’s Potomac Mills location compliments the south side.” described CXI’s COO Matt Schillo.
