NEW RENDERINGS FOR FRESH GRILL BUILDING REVAMP IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

The architecture firm of Steven J. Karr, AIA, Inc. has produced new renderings for a redesign of the former Fresh Grill building on Fairmont Avenue. Structural damage of the Greenhill Capital-owned building will be repaired, and this will be part of the firm's larger project at Lot 667 on Fairmont, Norfolk and St. Elmo Avenues.

A new restaurant side entrance is shown along the existing driveway west of Bold Bite, as well as a public art mural at the rear of the drive. Some limited patio dining space will be included on Fairmont Avenue.

    What a poor use of space by Greenhill. Another restaurant will come in and not do great business and get evicted and owe Greenhill lots of money.

    Any space on Fairmont is a hard sell for the foreseeable future.

    The 7770 Norfolk project will be a headache for the next year. Then the next big apartment project will begin a few doors down on Fairmont for several more years of construction, noise and road/sidewalk closures.

    When the new buildings open, they will have their lobby entrances on Norfolk or St Elmo, not Fairmont. That won't help liven up Fairmont.

    7:51am Maybe you can convince Bangkok garden to merge or sell thier prop to Greenhill so they would have a buildable site.

    11:18 With all your venom, you should march up to Greenhill's office and tell them what you really think if you have nerve, instead of hurling cowardly insults.

    Why the nasty language? Not necessary here.

    Yes, let's please try to avoid gratuitous foul language and stick to the topic of the post.

      Agree the language was unnecessary. But it was on topic speaking of a Greenhill building being renovated in a lackluster way and with poor future potential, especially given the landlord's history with tenants.

    I believe this is a intermediate use until there is a larger scale re-development of the site.

    If they can get a good restaurant in there, I'm all for it.

      Wasn't the original new building the intermediate use? With all this settlement (blood) money you would have hoped they would improve upon the building more than slapping on a little lipstick (on a pig).

      Oh and that huge wall is still there blocking views of the Bainbridge / streets cape / sidewalk. How friendly!

    From what I can tell, Greenhill has a strong interest in Greenhill and a weak interest in Bethesda. Theoretically the market should line these up, but I'm not seeing it.

      Let's hope the increased inventory and competition forces Greenhill to behave a bit less predatory to current and future tenants.
