The Metropolitan plaza renovations update (Photos)

Here's a look at the current status of the plaza-level park renovations at The Metropolitan apartments at 7620 Old Georgetown Road in downtown Bethesda. It is pretty much just a wasteland at the moment. Everything has been torn up and out, and some minor grading work has been done on the surface. The plaza update is part of a major renovation of the property, which is a little over twenty-five years old at this point. I have not seen a rendering of what the finished plaza is going to look like, but the work includes irrigation systems, soil treatment, new plantings and the installation of turf and grass.
