The construction team of B.F. Saul's Hampden House luxury apartment tower project has wasted no time getting underway, after the bank building on the site at 7316 Wisconsin Avenue was demolished and hauled away. A deep excavation has already been accomplished, as well as sheeting and shoring work. When completed, Hampden House will contain 366 rental apartments, and 10,110 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
Hampden House is a pretty bad name. Sounds kinda like Halfway House.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what the ground level retail will be at this corner.
ReplyDeleteRenderings by the architect show a large Apple logo hovering above the large two-story high retail space on Wisconsin, that includes a large mezzanine, and an internal elevator, that is present in many flagship Apple stores. Probably just wishful marketing by the architect and renderer, but it would be quite cool to have a large flagship Apple store in downtown Bethesda, adjacent to the Red and Purple Line entrances.
