8015 Old Georgetown Road development is branded as "The Narrative" in Bethesda


"Quick, take me to The Narrative," you tell your Uber driver as you slam the door. That's the new name for the residential development now under construction at 8015 Old Georgetown Road, between downtown Bethesda and the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad. The site was previously home to Christ Lutheran Church. Developer JLB Partners is constructing an 8-story apartment building with 297 residential units. JLB anticipates a delivery date of April 2024 for the project.

How affected. Bethesda's parvenus will gobble it up.

I miss the lyricism of old-fashioned development contrivances:

*The Landings at Georgetown
*The Glen at Georgetown Heights
*The Sanctuary at Nouveau Riche

So, "The Narrative" will have only eight stories?

The Narrative? Wow....

I'm stunned at how awful that is.

I'll add to the narrative: The daily clanging of steel and running cement trucks deprives me and not be of much needed sleep and quiet time even with my windows closed.

I hear you. I used to live in Topaz House on East West Highway. The office building next door
would do its noisy construction work at night so as not to disturb its own tenants. The idea of an agreed upon time of quiet is gone. It's something for planners to think about.

No, it's not.
