DEMOLITION PREP UNDERWAY AT THE HAMPDEN APTS. IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Preparations for demolition are getting underway at the future site of The Lauren ultra-luxury condos in downtown Bethesda. Multiple buildings on Hampden Lane, Woodmont Avenue and Montgomery Lane are going to be torn down to make way for condos "from the several millions." The most significant tear-down will be that of the affordable garden apartment complex known as The Hampden, on Hampden Lane.

This tear down will result in a net loss of affordable units in downtown Bethesda.
