Bethesda construction update: Cheval Bethesda ultra-luxury condos (Photos)

Wow - check out the impressive progress construction workers have made in a short time at the future Cheval Bethesda ultra-luxury condo tower at Fairmont Avenue and Old Georgetown Road. I think this is the fastest rise to street level I've seen on a high-rise project. It appears having the Crane of the Year on the job has paid off.

The 17-story tower will house 72 condo units, and 7000 SF of non-residential space. Prices will be ultra-luxury tier indeed: from the $900,000s to over $2.5 million.

Delivery is scheduled for 2017. Duball, LLC is the developer.

    What a silly name for a building.

      9:01, I'm 5:49. Not sure what you mean. I'm ecstatic for the density in Woodmont Triangle. What makes you think I'm being contrary? So weird.

      Density is fine, but let's hope it isn't the types of soulless high-rises that populate places like Ballston.

    I'm so glad that this is replacing SFH dystopia.

    On to Westbard!

    9:49 AM bravely contradicts the Contrary.

    Meanwhile, the Shell station got a small, single story drive thru bank. Makes no sense why a building like Cheval didn't go in there.

    @ 10:15 - other readers have noted that the small site makes it difficult to accommodate an underground garage.

    Maybe there's a benefit for them we don't know.
    Maybe they are waiting to sell or build later. Aren't they changing that intersection? Making Old Georgetown 2-way again?

    The Shell site included an adjacent building. The combined properties have to be bigger than the Cheval site. Why no housing over the bank?

    @12:50 The owner of that site thinks there is too much being built in Bethesda now, so they're going to hold onto the properties for a few years until things settle down, then build something like Cheval on it. That's my theory.

    I think if The Claiborne (Steamers) site can accomodate a garage, so could the Shell site. There's not going to be a point where developers stop building in downtown Bethesda, so waiting would only take their future building into an even more competitive market.

      The developer was the one if I recall that said the site wouldn't accommodate underground parking. Not sure any of us readers and bloggers would really know other than conjecture at this point.
