Bethesda construction update: Sunrise Senior Living (Photos)

The conversion of an existing high-rise into a Sunrise Senior Living facility on Battery Lane continues. Improvements will include the addition of balconies, and a new canopy at the front entrance. To give you a sense of what stage they are at, here is a rendering of the finished product, which you can compare to the photos below it:

A lot of misinformed folks like 9:54 out there. Scary!

4:17: Deleting your desperate spam to get folks to go to your website. Your argument is without merit. Starwood wasn't a headquarters "poached" - it was a merger. Mergers almost always involve terminating employees. I'm advocating attracting headquarters of Fortune 500s, not mergers.

4:17: This is a major part of our problem in the County - we're being led by people like you who know and understand nothing about business, and the international business world today.

Dyer, had you actually read that article instead of reflexively censoring it, you might have learned something.

"About 163 employees at Starwood Hotels’ Stamford headquarters will be laid off by the end of the year...as the company begins its assimilation into Bethesda-based Marriott, which completed its merger with Starwood in September...The news is not good for Stamford—the city lured Starwood in 2012 with an incentive package totaling nearly $80 million. However, since then the Courant reports the company’s workforce dropped from 980 to 793 by the end of 2015 and is expected to be near 440 employees by the end of this year."

Looks like Stamford will have to write off the $80 million that they paid to poach the headquarters.

6:58: I didn't learn anything from the article, because - duh! - I already knew there are layoffs when you merge two companies. You can't guarantee success in the private sector - but you can at least elect Council members who know how it works.

Sounds like Stamford residents should too; usually, officials are smart enough to protect themselves when they sign these agreements.

"Springhouse". "Sunrise Senior Living". What ridiculously optimistic names. "Grim Winter Sunset" would be more honest.

"people like you who know and understand nothing about business, and the international business world today."

And your vast knowlege of "business and the international business world today" comes from what? Your posting of fast-food reviews on YouTube?

3:06: No, it comes from having knowledge of how business works. I've run a business. Hans Riemer and George Leventhal haven't, and the results show it. Riemer said farmers markets and 9-person website creation offices are the future of the local economy.

Meanwhile, Northern Virginia is taking us to the cleaners with Capital One, Intelsat, Hilton Hotels, Volkswagen, Northrop, CEB, etc. Humiliating.

"I've run a business."

What happened to it?
