Signage installed at The Edge apartments in Bethesda (Photos)

Signage was installed at The Edge apartments yesterday, and by last night, the lighted sign was already lit. But it has to be asked: is the font edgy enough to deliver on the branding promise? Maybe comic sans or hobo would have been a better choice to be truly edgy. We're also getting another look inside the more-completed lobby of the apartment tower here, located at the corner of Edgemoor Lane and Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda.

The Woodmont Avenue sidewalk in front of the construction site of The Edge apartments at Edgemoor Lane has reopened to pedestrians. That is giving the first closeup look inside the lobby and future fitness center. You can also see the nice accent lighting from the sconces along the exterior of the ground level.

A leasing office has opened for The Edge apartments at 4885 Edgemoor Lane in a temporary space next door in the The Edgemont apartment complex. Pricing for the apartments has also been announced: 1-bedrooms from $2510, 2-bedrooms from $3960, and 3-bedrooms from $5325. 

"You just passed us!"

As you can see, the promise of Montgomery County politicians that a flood of new apartments would result in lower rents still has yet to materialize. The upsides are luxury amenities, premium appliances, a 96 walk score, and being directly at the Bethesda Metro station. See their updated website for full details and to schedule a leasing appointment.

With exterior construction well advanced at The Edge apartments at 4885 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda, work is ramping up on the interior of the residential units. Kitchen appliances can already be seen in place in some of the units. Construction is also underway on the pocket park the developer is providing for public use at 4903 Edgemoor Lane. The Edge is on-track for its mid-to-late 2021 delivery date.

Two things can be said about The Edge at 4885 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda - the construction contractor has done an incredible job of keeping the project on-schedule, and the architect really took strategic advantage of the curved Woodmont Avenue side in designing the building. We've seen some projects poking along around town, but this one has been relentlessly advancing since day one. The Edge looks well on its way to meeting the estimated mid-to-late 2021 delivery date.

Progress continues at the site of The Edge, on the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Edgemoor Lane in downtown Bethesda. Delivery is anticipated for mid-to-late 2021.
