Livewell Animal Hospital opens in Bethesda

Livewell Animal Hospital is now open at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue, in the ground floor of The Camille apartments in Bethesda. Walk-in appointments are welcomed at the facility, which is a full-service animal hospital. However, it is not open 24 hours a day, so Friendship Animal Hospital at 4105 Brandywine Street NW is still going to be your best bet for after-hours emergencies. Operating hours at Livewell are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays.

Signage installed at Livewell Animal Hospital in Bethesda

Permanent signage has been installed at Livewell Animal Hospital, opening soon at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue in The Camille apartments in Bethesda. They've also got a QR code and Instagram account posted in the front window. Walk-in appointments will be welcomed at the facility, which will be a full-service animal hospital, although it will not be open 24 hours a day. Operating hours will be 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. Livewell is expected to open before the end of the year.

Livewell Animal Hospital "coming soon" to Bethesda

Livewell Animal Hospital is "coming soon" to downtown Bethesda, according to signage posted at its future home in the ground floor of The Camille apartments at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue. As I reported this past May, the space was leased by the Southern Veterinary Partners network of animal hospitals, and they have chosen to go with the Livewell brand at this location. The hospital is scheduled to open before the end of 2024. 

Walk-in appointments will be welcomed at the facility, which will be a full-service animal hospital, although it will not be open 24 hours a day. Operating hours will be 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays.

The Camille leases up retail space with animal hospital in downtown Bethesda

The ground floor retail space at The Camille at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda now has a tenant. Southern Veterinary Partners, a vet-owned network of animal hospitals across America, has leased the 5894-square-foot retail unit. The Alabama-based firm was founded in 2014 by Dr. Jay Price. Construction is just getting underway inside the space.

A cross-block passageway under The Camille apartments at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda has opened to the public. The cut-through provides a pedestrian route between Wisconsin and the alleyway behind the building. Illuminated sculptures hang from the ceiling of the passage, which is well-lit at night. The Camille has recently opened to welcome its first tenants; a retail space on the ground level remains available for lease.

A couple of finishing touches being made to the exterior of The Camille apartments at 7000 Wisconsin Avenue are helping to elevate the overall design aesthetic of the new development. The signage, now installed and lit at night, gives a 1930s vibe due to the font. A pedestrian pass-through between Wisconsin Avenue and the alleyway and apartments behind the building is nearing completion. Much like the one at the 8001 Woodmont development, the architects have taken the opportunity to use art installations to create a unique sense of place and a better pedestrian experience, in addition to ensuring the "tunnel" is well-lit. The lobby appears to be nearing completion, while a ground floor retail space awaits a tenant and interior fit-out.

The building's official website notes that units are now leasing, ranging from $2,435 studios to $3,785 2-bedroom homes. It also features a video that I believe I saw being filmed, which emphasizes the property's close proximity to The St. James Performance Studio fitness center, the Capital Crescent Trail, and Bethesda Row. The Camille was scheduled for a September 2023 delivery, so it is slightly behind-schedule, but looks like it will be opening soon.
