Sabun Home coming to Bethesda Row, Kate Spade to replace Petra (Photos)

You may recall that, last year, Federal Realty created a new retail space by the entrance to the Upstairs at Bethesda Row luxury apartments on Bethesda Lane. In early December, the For Lease sign was removed. Now, I've confirmed the space has been leased by Sabun Home, a bed, bath and home accessories boutique.

Sabun Home opened its first store at 1631 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Georgetown in 2013. That flagship location has a design studio. Their new Bethesda Lane space is decidedly smaller.

What separates Sabun Home from Bed, Bath & Beyond, or even Sabun Home's future Bethesda Avenue neighbor, Pottery Barn?

Sabun Home's owners handpick every item sold, which are imported from the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean coasts. Products range from towels and bathrobes to soaps, candles and pillows. 

You can get started planning your shopping list by checking out the Sabun Home website.

In other Bethesda Row news, it's been about 8 months since Federal Realty announced Kate Spade New York was opening a boutique at Bethesda Row.

Now it's finally closer to happening. Kate Spade will be located in the current Petra space by Barnes & Noble on Bethesda Avenue.

Bethesda is turning into a boring, expensive shopping mall without a roof that serves its residents and neighbors less and less with each new store.

Hope the best for them. That space is crazy small and rent is like $100 NNN.

Thanks Robert for the warm welcome! We are looking forward to providing quality bed, bath, living & design goods for all parts of the neighborhood. We plan to open our doors in early May.

Lol. Seems us residents might hate these stores, but Federal Realty seems to know what it's doing. They seem to be doing well.

I really miss the cement factory and the railroad tracks.
