The Pinnacle, a senior living apartment complex, is now about four stories above street level in White Flint. Located at 11565 Old Georgetown Road, it will eventually rise to 17 stories. Inside will be 113 independent living apartments, 40 assisted-living units, and 48 units reserved for memory care and early-stage-dementia Bridge patients. Residents who are still independent will be right across the road from dining, shopping, and entertainment at Pike & Rose, and walking distance to the White Flint Metro station. The building itself will have its own 15,000-square-feet of restaurant and retail space, and will appear outwardly as a luxury apartment building, rather than a retirement or nursing facility. Developer Silverstone Senior Living anticipates a Q2 2026 delivery for the project.

Might want to fix the story. It is now North Bethesda metro not White Flint.
Who gets paid to come up with these names?
"No one's going to change my world". The world moves on, Robert Dyer stays in the same place.
Robert refuses to call it by its new name and honestly good for him. While White Flint doesn’t fit the area anymore it’s so much better and well defined than North Bethesda.
And it’s a North Bethesda update as well.
The third metro stop away from Bethesda is North Bethesda? Come on, I'm with Robert. Should be called South Rockville which is what it really is! Funny too how ritzy sounding Potomac has grown into not so ritzy areas! The Real Estate Mavens create all this.
South Fredrick would have made about the same amount of sense as North Bethesda.
The area has been called North Bethesda by the Census Bureau for 50 years. You're just ignorant.
4:36: To this day, the USPS and Montgomery County police classify most of White Flint and "North Bethesda" along the MD 355/Montrose & Randolph Road corridors as Rockville.
Except, no. USPS lists both North Bethesda and Rockville as acceptable. No one calls Pike & Rose and points south "Rockville."
Sincerely, someone who has lived in actual Rockville for 39 years and has the city tax receipts to prove it
3:12: It may be acceptable to use "North Bethesda," but it's not an official designation. In earlier decades, USPS would accept and deliver mail to southwest Bethesda that was sent to "Washington, D.C." with the correct Bethesda street address. Having said that, this is a very complicated and controversial issue, and I don't think we are that far apart in our definitions. My personal definition at an early age was that Old Georgetown Road was the dividing line at MD 355. Super Giant, Toys R Us, Bradlees, Putt Putt Golf were all Rockville. White Flint was always its own separate area between the mall and Old Georgetown - again, in my view.
My junior high school was called North Bethesda (NB) Junior High School BITD 1975, so that area IS properly named even tho' the campus was off of Green Tree.
12:21: Is that the one at 8935 Bradmoor Lane that is now North Bethesda Middle School? I agree that is definitely a more accurate use of "North Bethesda" than at White Flint. It's like the parts of Gaithersburg that some call "North Potomac," or even just "Potomac"(!!). Realtors Gone Wild.
