A new addition to the downtown Bethesda skyline is the first thing visitors will see as they rise out of the Bethesda Metro station. As the GIF video below shows, the Kettler-developed Element 28 apartment building is straight ahead as the escalator reaches the Bethesda Metro Center plaza.
To the immediate right of Element 28 is the 7550 Wisconsin office building. With its
glowing leaf sculpture out front, the design of Element 28 is going to be one of the first impressions new arrivals have of downtown Bethesda.
Element 28 will include 101 apartments and 3500 SF of ground floor retail. The 15-story project is scheduled to deliver this fall. For an impressive video, watch a time-lapse movie of the building being constructed from the beginning until now,
on the project's webcam page (where you can watch the construction site live).
I'm a big fan of this building. Height, density, ground floor retail, all close to the metro.
ReplyDeleteYes. Totally! So many bad renovations and crappy low density buildings in Woodmont Triangle. Element is a nice step forward.

Trump! For President! Change change is what we need!
@ 7:13 PM - Please move to Mississippi. And take Robert Dyer and Robin Ficker with you.
DeleteMoCo Dems like 7:13pm talk about Trump more than MoCo Republicans.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the boundary pushing. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
ReplyDeleteAnother building with a little character. Looks good!
Boundaries were made for pushing, and Tsking never solved nothing.
DeleteI for one am glad Robert Dyer always pushes boundaries!
DeleteKettler's architect did a good job with the facade and design.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique facade material. The building is a fantastic addition to Bethesda. Any idea what the retail space will be?
