A development company is seeking more than $160 million in damages from Metro in a lawsuit charging breach of contract and fraud over a stalled mixed-used development at the Greenbelt Metro station.

The Greenbelt Station Towne Centre was slated to be built on a 78-acre Metro-owned tract in adjacent to the Greenbelt Metrorail station. It was planned as a mixed-use project containing 270 residential units, 800,000 square feet of retail, a million square feet of office space, a hotel and a conference center.
