Burglars have certainly been busy in the Clarksburg area recently. Montgomery County police responded to a report of a burglary at the COMSAT building at 22300 Comsat Drive on August 4, 2024. Officers responding to the scene found evidence of forced entry. However, they found no indication that anything was removed from the building. As such, it's entirely possible that the burglar(s) were urbex explorers curious about what is inside the abandoned architectural gem off of I-270, designed by the famous Cesar Pelli.
The suspect(s) broke into the building sometime between 3:30 PM and 7:35 PM, police believe. Developers have charged their puppets on the Montgomery County Council with preserving this site for redevelopment as residential housing, so the Council has expended zero effort to attract an aerospace or biotech tenant for the property. The building is clearly historic and of high architectural significance, but the Council and Planning Board have fought all efforts to preserve it.
