First look: Parking garage opens at Westbard Square (Photos)


The parking garage has opened in the new Phase 1 retail building at Westbard Square in Bethesda. It may be timed to the opening of the new location of the Westwood Barber Shop, which looks like it may have just opened; shortly after the normal closing time last evening, employees were seen inside wearing barber uniforms. Voorthuis Opticians is likely to be the second tenant to reach opening day; the eyewear chain says it expects to open its Westbard Square store in late December or early January. Anchor tenant Giant is expected to follow later in January. 


The garage has one of those fancy digital signs indicating how many spaces are available, and the exit has some character with a smart aleck "SEE YA LATER!" sign above the driveway. A corridor leading to "SHOPS" is still fenced off, as those shops either haven't opened yet, or are vacant storefronts.

The Westwood Barber Shop did indeed open on Monday. Kudos to the owner, Phung Dinh and her staff. I stopped by - the new store looks great!

I believe that the Giant will be on the third floor.

What’s going on the corner of river? Currently a dirt hole?
