Bethesda construction update: Solaire Bethesda luxury apartments (Photos)
True Food Kitchen is the restaurant anchor of the project's 6400 SF retail space, and will open next fall, as well. The developer is Washington Property Company.
A truly ugly, undistinguished building.
ReplyDeleteThat wrap around situation is so horrendous.
ReplyDeleteI shake my head at the wrap around being allowed by the Planning Board and Council.
ReplyDeleteLiterally destroyed the values of the Crescent Plaza condos that have been squeezed by the Solaire. Views and sunlight gone.
At least folks getting their homes seized for transit projects get fair market value. These poor bastards at Crescent got nothing to show for this.
Yet another irresponsible decision by our incompetent Planning Board.
And you won't read that from our local media's motley crew of hangers-on and free-loading scammers.
Not sure this is really the planning board or
DeleteCouncil's "fault". The Crescent's builder (Landow was it?) and owners knew there was this possibility when they built it.
Dare I say kind of like the purple line on the Capital Crescent trail? Sucks but it was a known possibility
Dumb design by the developer of the Crescent Plaza, that led to it being "encircled" by the Solaire.
ReplyDelete@ 10:35 PM - there is no legal right to "views and sunlight".
ReplyDeleteI bet Crescent residents wish they got a 1 level TD Bank, like the Christopher folks :)
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteThey built an L-shaped building right up against another L-shaped property, and they are somehow surprised at the result?
