"Under a redesign of Greenhill Capital's larger Lot 667 property by the architecture firm of Steven J. Karr, AIA, Inc., the large structure's interior is being redivided to allow for multiple new retail storefronts."
So that they can post multiple signs saying "Lease - Greenhill", instead of just one. Now that's adding value.
The pace of construction leads me to believe they have one malnourished child doing all the labor. End child slavery!
I like how this is the only place in town that let Dyer inside. The Greenhill/Dyer campaign finance conspiracy is strong.
If I was Greenhill I'd lay low since no news is good news with them. Even their attempt to create a good story with the dumb NYC mural was a disaster.
Local vampires LOOOVE Greenhill's dark, vacant properties.
@ 5:51 AM - The funny thing is, although I've seen gradual progress, I never see anyone actually in there. At what ungodly hours are the people working there?
I think this is a great idea to add retail frontage on Norfolk. This will help activate the block (if Greenhill's lease sign isn't the only thing occupying the space).
All the Greenhill projects do seem to take forever to finish. I walk through Bethesda multiple times per day and evening and rarely see anyone ever working on the buildings and spaces. Anyone know what's up with that? I guess if he has the money to sit on empty properties like that. But if he did have that kind of money and didn't care, why not use some of that towards helping his tenants?
I think that's a good idea for a blog post -- analyze how many spaces are for lease currently, and what percent of those are Greenhill. I do see a lot of Greenhill for lease signs out there, but others also. Are people just picking on Greenhill or are they really the landlord perpetually without a tenant?
I think Greenhill suffers from having prominent retail spaces open all within the same area. Other vacancies are probably less conspicuous. Robert can't probably walk through every office building in town and take pictures of the empty suites. Like the new office building on East West Hwy is still an empty box after a year (they do seem to be building out a floor or two).
