Bethesda construction update: The Wilson/The Elm (Photos)

Construction continues on Carr Properties' massive redevelopment of 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, formerly home to the Apex Building. Office tower The Wilson is further along than The Elm, which is a residential building. You can now see the staircase and wall decoration in the lobby that we saw in the original renderings of the space.

More satellite dishes installed atop The Wilson in Bethesda

One of my readers mentioned that additional satellite dishes would be installed on the roof of The Wilson, the forthcoming Class A office tower being constructed by Carr Properties at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda. Sure enough, there are now at least two dishes up there. WTTG Fox 5 will be a tenant in the building.

Video of Bethesda's (and Montgomery County's) new tallest building

Here's a new video of what will be the tallest building in Bethesda when completed. Carr Properties' 7272 Wisconsin Avenue development will also be the tallest building in all of Montgomery County. It is 290', but will likely come in higher than that if you include rooftop structures and equipment. The current tallest building in the county is North Bethesda Market in White Flint, which is 289' tall.

Work continues at Carr Properties' 7272 Wisconsin Avenue project, which includes The Wilson office tower and The Elm residential tower. Here you can see how it dominates the skyline from various vantage points downtown. You can also get a more detailed look at the exterior design touches on each tower.
