The Norfolk Avenue sidewalk alongside the Marriott International headquarters property has reopened to pedestrians, but its Wisconsin Avenue counterpart remains closed. Marriott's development partners have applied for a noise waiver from Montgomery County for milling and resurfacing work along the southbound lanes of Wisconsin between Cheltenham Drive and Commerce Lane, which will be performed between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM Sundays through Thursdays through mid-October. Watch for southbound lane closures during those hours.
Work continues on the plaza between the office tower and the hotel. That is expected to be completed by the end of December. Marriott employees will relocate here from the existing corporate HQ in North Bethesda in 2022.
When the HQ and Hotel finally open, it's going to be a huge boost for local businesses and retail. I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteAnd again, Gene from the diner may be the smartest guy in town having held on thru Covid, where they were completely closed, and this massive project. He does have a legitimate suitor if he ever does want to sell. Houston's Woodmont Grill wants his corner and would buy that parcel in a minute. The perspective is incredible. The diner and Woodmont really do look like doll house buildings against Marriott.
ReplyDelete@6:23 AM, you were probably among the whiners when the project was announced that said, there goes the neighborhood.
ReplyDelete@9:53 AM: What are you talking about? I always supported this project.
