MetroLogo, a business selling customized promotional materials, is opening a new location in downtown Bethesda. It has just moved into the vacant space at 7135 Wisconsin Avenue. This suggests the redevelopment project that includes that site has stalled for the immediate future. MetroLogo's existing location to this point has been at 7847 Old Georgetown Road, Suite 1. Its customizable products include apparel, drinkware, golf supplies and phone accessories.
Glad to know that Metro has been focusing on what's most important....
ReplyDeleteThe proposed new mixed-use building, park, underground parking deck and expansion of the Farm Women’s Market have not yet received site plan approval. I would not assume that this project is delayed, as the site plan approval and certified site plan approval, schematic design, design development, construction and engineering drawings, bidding and award process would take at least two years to be achieved before demo and construction could begin.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s great that the landlord has apparently signed a short term lease to use some of the existing space in the mean time. I wish more short term leases would utilize some of these site that are slated for more density. Walking by the vacant old Tommy Joes, or the Pines of Rome spaces for years in very unpleasant.
