Stonehall Bethesda condos over 50% sold

The ultra-luxury condo market in downtown Bethesda appears to have slowed slightly, but sales remain steady. Christa Hodge, Sales Manager for the Stonehall Bethesda ultra-luxury condominiums at 8302 Woodmont Avenue reports the building has now passed the 50% sold mark.

Duball, LLC's Stonehall officially opened with a ribbon-cutting last October. To note the change in the condo market, consider that Toll Brothers City Living's Hampden Row was 50% sold before construction was even completed. There was not even a model unit available to tour when Hampden Row reached that mark.

Market trends benefit condo shoppers at the moment, however, as Stonehall is now offering VIP pricing through August. Hampden Row was offering incentives of its own last month.

Stonehall Bethesda retail space to be filled by bank

The suspense is over. Wells Fargo Bank will be the retail tenant in the ground floor of the Stonehall Bethesda condos, at 8302 Woodmont Avenue.

A past Montgomery County Planning Board had stipulated the space be filled by a "quality restaurant," which was notable for proving that the County does indeed have the authority to require a type of business tenant. However, developer Duball, LLC requested that stipulation be amended, citing a lack of market demand for a restaurant at that location. The change was granted by the County.

Duball, LLC's Stonehall Bethesda ultra-luxury condominium project was officially welcomed to Bethesda yesterday by the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce and local officials at a ribbon-cutting celebration. Marc Dubick, President and co-founder of Duball, thanked the many project partners present for their contributions, and joined GBCOC incoming Board of Directors Chair Jane Fairweather in cutting the ribbon in the lobby.

Guests then toured the building, including the rooftop deck, fitness center, party room and model units, while enjoying refreshments. Duball has a second ultra-luxury project nearing completion in Bethesda, the Cheval Bethesda condo tower. The company also developed the Lionsgate condominiums on Woodmont Avenue.
