The latest phase of Donohoe's Woodmont Central project is this mixed-use residential tower, code-named The Rugby, at 4850 Rugby Avenue in Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle. Also currently known as Gallery Bethesda II, it will be the sister building to the already-delivered Gallery Bethesda luxury apartments, which it will share a plaza with. It is currently about 7 stories above street level.

Gallery Bethesda II will include 219 units and 12425 SF of retail and restaurant space. Delivery is expected in Fall 2018. In related Donohoe news, I just learned that the firm has also been hired by the Shelter Group to construct their Brightview Bethesda project, which is directly across Rugby from this project. It would seem like a rare opportunity to introduce some economies of scale to both projects, although they are obviously at very different stages of development.
So will these units be filled with poor people?
ReplyDeleteSaith Dyer:
ReplyDelete"The rich are being replaced by thousands of low-income folks the Council is bringing in intentionally for political reasons. Very few of the residents of the new buildings are on the Forbes list, folks. Hence, it's virtually impossible that they are paying the advertised rents. The tab is being picked up by corporate or government at a discount rate to the corporation or government below the advertised rent. Many of the units are empty altogether."
"thousands of low-income folks the Council is bringing in intentionally for political reasons"
ReplyDeleteThat's just your bigotry talking. Walk it back, Dyer.

ReplyDeleteThis is the special olympics for blogging
ReplyDeleteThe same lonely, small jealous man posting Anonymous insults here...as he has for years. Somehow sees Dyer as a "competitor" and goes into a blind rage often.
ReplyDeleteHe outed himself awhile back, but still won't officially use his name here.
More bad news for Robert Dyer:
ReplyDeleteAll remaining charges in the supposed 'Rockville HS Rape' case dropped
6:20: It's bad news for women and for justice in Montgomery County, not for me. If anything, it simply makes the case stronger to elect someone like me if I choose to run. Not only has the MoCo political cartel been exposed as racist, but now they are on the record saying rape victims were "asking for it." Shameful.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe that the members of the Duke lacrosse team were guilty of rape, Dyer?
ReplyDeleteDyer setting women's rights back 50 years with his "assessment" of what the girl should feel, think, and how she should act. Clueless.
ReplyDeleteI work with victims daily. Your self-serving analysis is what's known as "re-victimizing." We tell them "there are no right or wrong ways to be feeling." Yet you shamefully have inserted your view of her actions into her very personal story.
Enough is enough.
"The MoCo political cartel [is] on the record saying rape victims were 'asking for it'."
ReplyDeleteHere is what they actually said:
"Prosecutors studied high school surveillance video, reviewed phone records, spoke to the girl and others, and concluded the original claims could not be corroborated."
Dyer lies without any sense of shame. No tiene sangre en la cara.
Wrong again. This is not the last phase of the Woodmont Central Project. An office building on Wisconsin is also part of this project. A five story office/mixed use building on the Sunoco site.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I count 10 high rise projects of 12 or more stories that are in the pipeline adjacent or very close to Wisconsin Avenue. Our town is about to become a much bigger, and much more dynamic city. The new headquarters for Marriott Hotels, the largest hotelier in the world, JBG Smith, the largest developer in the DC area and Fox5 News. Bethesda will very soon be at the at the inspection of heavy rail, new light rail and a fully paved, heavily used, traffic separated, hiker/biker trail that will connect Georgetown, Rock Creek Park and Silver Spring.
Whatever happened to Judicial Watch's threat of a lawsuit against Montgomery County, over alleged registration of dead or moved-away voters?
ReplyDeleteIt's been six months now.
In-person voter fraud happens once in a billion votes.
ReplyDeleteThe probability that Robert Dyer lost the election to Hans Riemer due to illegal aliens voting in place of dead residents is approximately 40 trillion to one against.
"Crank" is a pejorative term used for a person who holds an unshakable belief that most of his or her contemporaries consider to be false. A crank belief is so wildly at variance with those commonly held as to be considered ludicrous. Cranks characteristically dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs, making any rational debate a futile task and rendering them impervious to facts, evidence, and rational inference.
ReplyDelete4:48: Unfortunately, polling place results show in-person voter fraud happens more frequently than that in Montgomery County.
ReplyDelete6:14: So we can now call you a "crank" for believing our current County Council is even remotely qualified for the job, since term limits passed overwhelmingly in 2016?
4:57: John McCarthy "revictimized" the victim by siding with the defendants' attorneys' version of events. What surveillance footage would prove the gang rape didn't happen? It happened in a bathroom stall.
5:15: The girl said she was raped. The defendants said she wanted it to happen. The State's Attorney sided with the defendants, denying the victim her day in court. There's no disputing that.
6:23: I never said this was the last phase.
Why is it that when "term limits passed overwhelmingly in 2016" it is the will of the voters of Montgomery County, but when the same voters decisively reject Robert Dyer, it means "polling places show in-person vote fraud"... 40,000 "illegal immmigrants used the names of dead Montgomery County residents to elect Hans Riemer"?
ReplyDeleteClueless. Utterly clueless.
ReplyDeleteComplete fail, Dyer.
Back off your pontifical hooey.
YOU continue to victimize, even after being asked to stop. Do you actually think you know more about this than they do?
After explaining to you that you do more damage to the victims by opining on their individual situations, you continue.
Have you no shame?
"'The evidence does not support rape charges', Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said on May 5.
ReplyDelete"'We have concluded that the facts in this case do not support the original charges filed in this matter', he said at a news conference. 'Due to the lack of corroboration and substantial inconsistencies from the facts that we have obtained from multiple sources since the filing of the original charging document, the original charges cannot be sustained, and prosecution on those charges is untenable.'
"McCarthy said the investigation was extensive and included multiple interviews and reviews of phone and computer records, school surveillance video and medical records."

9:01: I have no shame fighting for the victim's right to be heard and believed. As 5:18's comment clearly demonstrates, the State's Attorney denied her that right (and others).
ReplyDelete6:17 PM-- you forget how Dyer pre-empted this finding of fact:
ReplyDeleteFirst, the defendants were guilty without question. For example:
"It's hard to believe any respectable attorney would want to get anywhere near a couple of toxic defendants like these. Interestingly, the Post closed the comment section on its article reporting Sanchez's 100%-not-guilty stance. The only good news about Sanchez's bizarre legal strategy is that it will increase the chance of him receiving a life sentence, by not seeking a plea deal in what should be a slam-dunk case."
Second, a prison sentence would not be enough. We should have executed these kids. Thanks Obama:
"The rapists, should they be found guilty, do deserve the death penalty. Unortunately, the Obama administration assisted Mr. Sanchez in finding his way to our non-death-penalty jurisdiction."
Your persistent narrative that the Montgomery County Council is creating a haven for MS-13, and Hispanic illegal immigrants from all of Latin America is simply racist dog whistling.
10:04: Just one problem: The County Council *has* created a haven for MS-13 - the gang's capos in El Salvador were quoted in the Washington Post as saying so! Not Breitbart, the Post! Murders in MoCo are up, up, up.
ReplyDelete"The rapists, should they be found guilty, do deserve the death penalty. Unortunately, the Obama administration assisted Mr. Sanchez in finding his way to our non-death-penalty jurisdiction."
ReplyDeleteDyer's ignorance of our American legal system continues to astound. There is no state in our nation that executes for rape alone - the death penalty may only be imposed for first-degree murder, per Supreme Court rulings in 1972 and 1976.
Robert Dyer is a one-man lynch mob.
"Murders in MoCo are up, up, up."
ReplyDeleteYou would be wrong, again. There was a spike in 2014 and 2015, but the numbers have returned to their historical average since then. There were fewer homicides in Montgomery County than in Fairfax County in 2016.
Homicides in Montgomery County -
2014 - 14
2013 - 8
2014 - 19
2015 - 30
2016 - 15
2017 YTD - 10
Homicides in Fairfax County in 2016 - 19
From day one, Dyer has been touting his OPINION of what happened.
ReplyDeleteAll that does is hurt the girl.
It's even possible that ATTITUDES like his are what makes victims not want to testify.
I've pointed this out before and I'll say it again. And again. As many times as necessary.
If you continue to opine (guess) on the case and the details, all you do is re-victimize the victim.
And, we will all know that you know how detrimental it is and that you maliciously speak out anyway. Because you think you know best.
Saith Dyer @ 2:40 PM: "The County Council *has* created a haven for MS-13 - the gang's capos in El Salvador were quoted in the Washington Post as saying so!"
ReplyDeleteTypical Dyer bullshit.
