The interesting question now is, will Tía Queta become the pink house in Friendship Heights, or cash out to join their plot with the Steamers land? There's no doubt Tía Queta's owners are in the catbird seat, and would likely have the new landowner of the Steamers site over a barrel to pay top dollar.
Combining the properties could allow a more substantial residential tower, but would deprive the Woodmont Triangle of a favorite restaurant on quiet Del Ray Avenue. Any new tower would be on the same block as Donohoe's successful Gallery Bethesda luxury apartments (4800 Auburn Avenue), and Donohoe's future twin tower to that 17-story building.
This will be interesting to follow.

It would be nice if this turns out to be something other than high rise residential use. A restaurant or complex would be great.
The main question--where will all the rats go when they tear that dump down. It is a crappy structure with a tent in the middle of it. The spot is definitely in need of an upgrade.
Unless all the other sites fronting Norfolk Avenue sell as well, simply adding the Tia Queta site wouldn't add that much to the Steamer's site. It's long but narrow - without the other sites, it would only be wide enough for a driveway to the Steamer's site.
In this case, a one-story bank building might actually be an improvement.
Same negative Bethesda blogger is trolling Dyer on this fine summer Friday. 7:02 5:41 5:35.
Best troll of Bethesda award is due to this guy. He thinks he's in competition with Dyer.
Watch out he will delete your opinion.
I appreciate it!
I believe in you 7:22! One day we will live free!!!!
We shall overcome! We shall overcome!
Everyone in Bethesda reads Dyer.
Meanwhile, one troll here having a conversation with himself.
And apparently you too 7:51 - get a fucking life bro!
Why is Dyer always positive and this other Bethesda blogger so negative and nasty?
7:52 - Cease and desist your vulgarity. Until you grow up, graduate high school and get a life, just... stop. Your immaturity knows no bounds. F-bombs and picking on Robert only goes to show you're an insecure little person.
Dyer and Greenberg - Bethesda's Axis of Evil.
Am I in the matrix!?!?!?!?
Actually Dyer, the property is also available for lease... as well as for sale.
1:16: Trust me, they want to sell this site, not lease it.
Dyer said "trust me" when he announced that Smashburger was closing.
So if I said it was one shill blindly supporting Dyer....
One negative Bethesda blogger...still trolling Dyer.
6:51PM "got the details" translates to = "We read Dyer, copied his reporting and filed it later" Does heating up Dyer's old reports in a microwave make them tastier?
5:27: I wasn't the one who reported Smashburger was closing. But others do report that closing restaurants are staying open, and you don't criticize that. Interesting.
6:51: They talked all day, I guess. But they didn't have any more relevant information than my article, which was published 9 hours earlier.
"I wasn't the one who reported Smashburger was closing."
Claim credit when it's right, blame "sources" when it's wrong. The buck [doesn't] stop here. LOL
And there he goes comparing others as doing the same when he gets something wrong. Like a child does.
Always positive? Calling someone an idiot or moron counts for positive? Insulting someone's opinion does too?
And when the negative Bethesda blogger trolls Dyer and plagiarises Dyer he does it like a child. Like a child. #Hull'sBoys
Frank is waiting for his PizzaPass pizza. He was also planning to go dancing at the new dance studio at the old video store. Oops, he broke in but only found VHS tapes.
That's defamation. Dyer should delete that.
They can copy and then troll Dyer, but folks are tired of it.
The copying of reporting is unfair to the work Dyer does on a daily basis.
And the childlike trolling touting their stuff is embarrassing. Act like grownups guys.
6:29: You just embarrassed yourself again - you cut and paste a whole article from another website and it only proved my point that the article posted 9 hours after mine had no significant details beyond mine as you had claimed, and that the seller is indeed squarely marketing the lot for sale rather than lease. You know, that's why the property is covered with signage saying LOT FOR SALE. Most people are trying to enjoy a holiday weekend, not spamming and trolling on local news websites.
5:26: You're obviously intoxicated. The Smashburger closing story was reported by another website. I had nothing to do with it. In contrast, you've never criticized your favorite websites for stories they have published themselves which had incorrect information and turned out to be false.
