New high-rise now confirmed
Developer Equity Residential has officially begun marketing its new downtown Bethesda project at the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Edgemoor Lane. The branding has changed from "Edgemont II" to "The Edge." It's also now officially confirmed the 15-story high-rise will be rental apartments, not condos. Studio and 1-and-2-bedroom units will be available.
Equity is describing the building as "metropolitan chic with suburban space." The Edge is scheduled for a mid-to-late 2021 delivery.
Yeah, from that angle it kind of does look like the fingerboard of a guitar. . . .
ReplyDeleteNothing to fret about, though.
I think the alternating grid of white metal panels at the corners were described by the designers as “zippers”, designed to activate the corner, and create an iconic and memorable design feature. It’s nice to see a building that’s not entirely precast concrete or red brick. The base does have a nice two story section of charcoal grey brick though.
ReplyDeleteSome ground floor retail would help keep this block of Woodmont from feeling vacant.....
ReplyDeleteWoodmont is a dark concrete canyon at night. Hopefully this will bring some more activity and light at least.
