Demolition permit requested for Steamers site in Bethesda
Novo has proposed a 110' condominium building with 58 condo units and 2800 SF of retail/restaurant space for the property.
i'm sure that i neded a permit for the steamer that i took this morning! anyone know where i can apply for one?
ReplyDeleteThe fact that developers can fill these expensive units is incredible.
ReplyDeleteAre the existing new buildings full? This is an affluent area but who are these people? Not young 20 somethings. Pretty soon the only parking will be in the county lot on Del Rey. Would be worth all this growth if decent restaurants opened to feed all these new residents. With crazy county and DLC, don't count on it.
Absorption rate in the area is really good I hear.
DeleteThe Lauren is more than half sold and those units are $1mln+.. so yes, I guess they can fill them.
ReplyDeleteYes! Another opportunity to #PriceDyerOuttaBethesda and #MakeBethesdaSafeAgain

ReplyDelete"This is an affluent area but who are these people?"
Empty-nesters selling their 8 figure homes in Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and Potomac. It's definitely great to see all this development in Bethesda, but I think the demographic it's attracting is much older than the county was hoping for, even in more eclectic neighborhoods like Woodmont Triangle. Millennials are mostly flocking to Silver Spring (or DC and Arlington) instead.
Cause the rent is too damn high. :)
DeletePacific rim imports here to service Dyer.
ReplyDelete8:05 AM - Right. That demo certainly doesn't want sports bars and the like. Million dollar condos full and no end in sight for more coming. Unreal. This area will never be young again in terms of folks living close and enjoying all the shops, dining, etc. It is what it is I guess.
ReplyDeleteRestaurants better step up their game in the case of a slightly older population. They can certainly afford it. Most of what we have in the downtown district is crap. Better food options doesn't necessarily mean super expensive either. A blend would be nice.
If you want to attract millennials, it's jobs, jobs, jobs.
ReplyDeleteIf their company is in Northern VA or DC, there's no reason to live in MoCo, particularly since everything is becoming very homogeneous. The same chains everywhere.
The depths of your Dyer obsession is truly frightening.

ReplyDelete1:31: If anything, people will vote for me because I saved them from having to read your same comment about whatever your personal beef is with that company for the 1000th time.
DeleteYet you say the same thing over and over again yourself?
DeleteHas Dyer released his tax returns?
ReplyDelete@509 LOL that would be some short reading

Delete6:13: Nobody other than you and Dan Reed have "negative feelings" about Greemhill. What percentage of people know which developer owns the building their favorite store or restaurant? Moronic false statement.
DeleteThe anonymous nutty guy will never air his grievance with Dyer or Greenhill.
ReplyDelete4:43 what are your facts about Greenhill? And who are you to pass judgement ?

ReplyDeleteDyer's comments about the council aren't rude and defamatory?
Delete10:57: You believe criticizing public officials for inept performance, failed policies, and corruption is "defamatory?" Maybe you would like North Korea better.
Delete9:59: I believe and recognize your comment was sincere, and not a troll comment. I apologize for having to remove it as part of a cleanup of disparaging attacks made by actual trolls. Please feel free to continue to post legitimate comments, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Delete10:57AM I don't believe you're that dumb. You know that has nothing to do with 9:59AM's comments.
ReplyDeleteYou are deflecting. You know 9:59 is correct.
I don't know what you're referencing since Dyer deleted 9:59.
DeleteHello 8:14AM It seems I disparaged the trolls who frequent here.
ReplyDeleteAs Dyer noted, I was sincere. I called trolls out on their bad behavior and their reasons for it. I asked if they really considered what they were doing was "acceptable." I then asked them "Have you no self-esteem?"
The only "bad" thing said was "rat's ass"
I didn't repeat any of the vitriol of other posters. I didn't say anything against Dyer. I did say I pitied the poor business owners who get caught up in the troll stampede to dis Dyer.
I appreciate the nice explanation for why he deleted it. But, honey, there are WAY WAY WAY worse posts still standing.
You just lost one of your shills.
Love and bacon, the former 9:59
I expect this post to be deleted too, because it seems INTELLIGENT posts are just as bad as posting "poop."
12:31: Again, I apologize for having to delete your comment. It was only necessary because it referred to some of the false statements the troll had posted which I had to remove. There was no other issue, and I would personally have preferred to leave it up.
DeleteI hope you will continue to read and comment on the blog.
So if someone comments about an opinion you don't agree with, they both get censored?
Delete6:38: No, it was simply that in making what was a correct argument against the troll, the comment listed some of the specific accusations made by the troll against a particular company, and I was trying to clean those accusations out of the comment section. I'm not sure why anyone would take offense, when I politely explained that the predicament I'm in with these comments required me to delete a legitimate comment along with the troll comments.
DeleteIs no one else allowed to make accusations then? Only you?
DeleteAnd only his accusations can be true. Everyone else is false.
