Here's a look at the latest progress on The Pinnacle, a senior housing project that is located at 11565 Old Georgetown Road, about a block west from Rockville Pike and a future north entrance to the White Flint Metro station. It is across the street from Pike & Rose. The 17-story building will house 113 independent living apartments, 40 assisted-living units, and 48 units reserved for memory care and early-stage-dementia Bridge patients. It will have its own 15,000-square-feet of restaurant and retail space, and will appear outwardly as a luxury apartment building, rather than a retirement or nursing facility. Developer Silverstone Senior Living anticipates a Q2 2026 delivery for the project.

The first permanent signage has been installed at The Kensington Bethesda, the new assisted living facility at 5485 Westbard Avenue in Bethesda. It is over the future garage entrance. Developed by Kensington Park Senior Living, the facility is scheduled to open in mid-June. It features assisted living, memory care, and couples care residential options. More information and tour scheduling are available at the property website.

Something new is on the horizon as you drive southbound on the I-270 spur toward the Capital Beltway. It is The Grandview retirement community, now under construction on the former site of the Marriott International headquarters at 6701 Democracy Boulevard. The developer is Erickson Senior Living. 

It's great news for seniors seeking various levels of assisted living housing, and is located close by to the many medical offices along Rock Spring Drive. However, there is very little else within easy walking distance of the site for people with reduced mobility. Ultimately, having a 33-acre corporate headquarters site on an interstate on-ramp be replaced with a retirement community remains one of the countless humiliating embarrassments for the Montgomery County Council this century. The moribund County has failed to attract a new major corporate HQ in over 25 years. Heckuva job, Brownie!

The Pinnacle, a senior living apartment complex, is now about four stories above street level in White Flint. Located at 11565 Old Georgetown Road, it will eventually rise to 17 stories. Inside will be 113 independent living apartments, 40 assisted-living units, and 48 units reserved for memory care and early-stage-dementia Bridge patients. Residents who are still independent will be right across the road from dining, shopping, and entertainment at Pike & Rose, and walking distance to the White Flint Metro station. The building itself will have its own 15,000-square-feet of restaurant and retail space, and will appear outwardly as a luxury apartment building, rather than a retirement or nursing facility. Developer Silverstone Senior Living anticipates a Q2 2026 delivery for the project.
