Two Bethesda affordable housing properties to be redeveloped

4526 Avondale Street
Two affordable low-rise apartment buildings on Avondale Street in downtown Bethesda would be redeveloped into a new multifamily development under a pending application by SJ Investment Corporation. Under the proposal, 4526 and 4530 Avondale would be replaced with 60 apartments and underground parking.
4530 Avondale Street
The currently-zoned height limit for the combined 0.27 acre site is 70'. If the Montgomery County affordable housing standard of 12.5% is applied to the proposal, it would result in 4 to 5 MPDUs within the new development.
Location of the proposed development
A public meeting on the proposal has been scheduled for Monday, March 2, 2020 at 7:00 PM in the Wisconsin Room at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center at 4805 Edgemoor Lane.
