BETHESDA ROOFTOP RESTAURANT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

One of the few architecturally-interesting development projects currently underway in downtown Bethesda, is the future rooftop restaurant building at the corner of Norfolk and Cordell Avenues.

Designed by architect Steven Karr, the building will house retail and restaurants, with the crown jewel being a rare rooftop eatery.  When I broke the story on this months ago, the lessee of the space was confidential.  Eventually he was identified as the owner of Tommy Joe's.

With only two rooftop spaces in Bethesda (Doubletree Hotel and Tia Queta), this should be a highly-anticipated opening. "Early 2013" as promised? Doesn't seem likely at this point.

What's underway now is primarily the rear of the structure. Stay tuned for further updates.
