Tower crane assembly underway at former site of Bethesda church (Photos)

Construction of a new apartment building at 8015 Old Georgetown Road is finally accelerating to full steam on the edge of downtown Bethesda. Assembly of a tower crane is now underway. If you've lived here more than a year, you may recall this as the longtime site of Christ Lutheran Church of Bethesda. Developer JLB Partners is constructing an 8-story apartment building with 297 residential units. JLB anticipates a delivery date of April 2024 for the project, which does not yet have a name for marketing purposes.
