The work will include foundation repairs, reconstruction of load-bearing masonry walls, and replacement of steel roof joists. In addition, alterations will be made to prepare the structures for tenants, and to repair and update the front facades. These changes are also in preparation for an extensive update to the entire Lot 667 property Greenhill owns, which has also been designed by Karr. That makeover is expected to reinvigorate several portions of Fairmont, and Norfolk and St. Elmo Avenues.
The estimated cost of the repairs is $500,000. Sigal Construction is the contractor, and the work is expected to be completed by May 2016.

How much did Greenhill win in the lawsuit?
Millions! Grennhill is a cancer on our fair city
I predict that they will do about two weeks of work before suspending all further activity, as they did with the homeless shelter site and the former Black Finn site.
What's really funny is that the only active Greenhill property is currently a leasing office for another company - the former furniture store/Johnny Rockets at the SE corner of Norfolk & St. Elmo.
Awesome, more renovated and vacant building by the Greenhill Karr duo! On the bright side, all of Greenhill's vacant properties will look the same soon thanks to Karr.
The Bethesda Urban Partnership desperately needs to install a border checkpoint at the south end of Arlington Road, to block these illegal creatures of the night.
"The plague! The plague! What are you doing here?"
"I must talk to the town council."
"It's been dissolved. It doesn't exist anymore."
"Then, I must see the mayor."
"He's dead."
"Go back home, as fast as you can."
"I know why this evil is happening! I know why this evil is happening! Why won't you listen to me?! I know the reason why!"
Karr's Urban Heights building is not bad but seems like it's only 80% of the way there to really finish it. The rest of his suck is ugh. That shelter building with the mural is atrocious.
Enough with the zombie talk, folks.
Can someone ask him why his buildings start work and then just sit there?
Was the "Damaged" Red Tomato building also a Greenhill property? It's been sitting fallow for well over a year at this point too. Then again if you can just sue the other developers who are actually improving Bethesda, why bother trying to make money on your own?
Red Tomato and Community Auto Repair were both Greenhill properties. Thank God that Bangkok Garden and Hanaro are not.

Don't censor me, Bro!
I LOL'd. Well said. :)
@8:33 Can you explain how the tax benefits work?
"I felt a minor disturbance in the Force, as if a couple of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
All this was part of Greenberg's war on the Bainbridge project. But, when you toss out tenants for "damages", you get a reputation. And Greenberg's reputation as a landlord wasn't that great to begin with.
War on Bainbridge?
Bainbridge damaged the adjoining properties when excavating, right?
Bainbridge had a lot of shoddy work: the tables in the midblock walkway weren't installed even and remember the driveway on Fairmont that wasn't properly aligned? Vehicles scrape on that bump.
Come on guys. Let's not hold up Bainbridge as a shining example.
Dyer's shill is now Benny's shill. LOL, "guys".
You're right the Bainbridge had quite a few issues. But Greenhill has quite a few issues across many of his properties.
