Demolition permit requested for Miller and Long building in Bethesda
A demolition permit has been requested for the headquarters of Miller and Long at 4824 Rugby Avenue in downtown Bethesda. The building is coming down to make way for The Rugby, a mixed-use project being developed and constructed by The Donohoe Companies.

This is fantastic and will go a long way to livening up that end of the Triangle. Looking forward to a possible nice hangout spot in their public space if they add more retail.
Too bad they didn't do the two buildings together at one time and make one cohesive huge underground parking lot.
Building Two will be the same height and approximately the same footprint and Building One, fronting Rugby Avenue. It will have a two story "bump-out" right at the corner of Auburn and Rugby, to include retail/restaurant.
To add to the comment regarding the parking garage, the Bethesda Gallery garage is designed to connect to the garage of the new building. There is plywood retaining walls on all floors of the current garage, so it appears that they will connect.

Any renderings of building two?

7:09: Yes - click on the highlighted link in the article, and it will take you to a previous post that has a good rendering of The Rugby.
Once done, I'm sure this area will look great.
I always liked the little rounded building on the triangle, though.
That looks pretty cool!
8:50: You'll be glad to hear that the new building will incorporate the same Miller and Long curved facade and height at that tip of the triangle.
That's great to hear. Thanks!

Any word on where Miller&Long will relocate to before the building is demolished? Looks like they are packing up today.
