A developer has scheduled a public meeting to reveal its plans to redevelop a long-abandoned gas station atop the Bethesda Metro station at 7340 Wisconsin Avenue. Previous projects, including a senior housing development, have fallen through over the last decade. That has caused the prime piece of property to instead become a prominent eyesore in the heart of the business district. Now another opportunity to revitalize the site has emerged.
The new proposal includes up to 310 residential units with ground floor retail, for a total of 315,000 square feet of development. Current zoning allows a maximum height of 250', but with additional height available in exchange for amenities or provision of affordable units beyond the required minimum.
Representatives of the developer will present the plan at a virtual public meeting on July 12, 2022 at 7:00 PM. See the sign pictured above for the codes needed to join the meeting.

Finally! Looking forward to when this eyesore gets redeveloped. Hopefully everything works out this time.
Make it 500' tall. It's literally on top of the Red line and the future purple line.
What inside of those barrels? Fuel from the old Exxon underground tanks?
