7770 NORFOLK LUXURY APARTMENTS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

The future luxury apartment tower at 7770 Norfolk Avenue is really starting to head skyward towards its eventual 17 stories. JBG's mixed-use project reached street level recently. Now a good-size piece of the ground floor is taking shape behind the walls at Norfolk and Fairmont Avenues. 

You'll notice a Putzmeister on-site. That's a concrete placing boom, I believe. It is labeled Schuster Concrete on the side, which is a Maryland concrete firm with multiple plants, including its newest in Rockville.

Putzmeister is also the name that kid who used to beat you up on the playground called you.

Nobody ever beat me up on the playground.

Does anyone believe 1:17? No way you weren't beat up DYER. I remember beating you up myself back in the day!

2:09 Considering no one ever beat me up on the playground, thank you for confirming your delusional state.

I live in Bainbridge across the street. The construction at 7770 is my daily alarm :)

Also there is some other construction on the other side of the building at some road which is at night.

Basically Bethesda is one huge construction site right now.

Your nighttime noise is underground work on St. Elmo. They've been digging up the block between Norfolk and Woodmont for the past few nights.

This Triangle Towers resident has invited in earplugs. I think most Woodmont Triangle residents will need them for the next couple of years.
