Anthropologie requests permit to transform Barnes & Noble space at Bethesda Row

Anthropologie & Co. will replace Barnes & Noble at Bethesda Row when it closes at the end of December this year, and the brand has now requested a construction permit from Montgomery County for the interior fit-out of the new store. Expected to open in the fall of 2018, according to Federal Realty, the store will include a Terrain Garden Cafe.

The cafe, which is included in the permit request, will have indoor and outdoor seating, and will be overseen by James Beard Award winner Chef Jeff Michaud. It will reflect the horticultural and seasonal aesthetic of Anthropologie's URBN sister brand, Terrain.

It's intriguing that the permit to reconstruct the 32417 SF space is being requested this early, as B&N is slated to remain open for another 4 months yet.

They probably just want to be efficient. Permit can take some time. 4 months can go like that.

This sounds like an ad.

"Expected to open in the fall of 2018, according to Federal Realty, the store will include a Terrain Garden Cafe."

Suggest: "Federal Realty expects that the store will open in the fall of 2018. It will include a Terrain Garden Cafe."

"Interior fit-out of the store"

This is an odd phrase.
