A little over a year ago, there was a bank standing here, they tore it down, dug a new foundation and put up this building. It has retail and office space for lease now, It doesn't look like they have tenants lined up yet though. Originally this was planned to be finished last Fall, they missed that date by a couple of months, but still, they made pretty quick work of the job. This is how the building looks on the Cordell Avenue side, you can see the yellow awning of the "Harp and Fiddle" in the background.
On Woodmont Avenue they have painted an interesting mural along the side. I'd prefer that it were actually at street level instead of raised up 5 feet but I suspect they couldn't have street level entrances on both Woodmont and Cordell.
have posted about this site several times, you can follow along.
I miss my drive-thru Suntrust at that spot! Was one of the only convenient local Suntrust locations for folks with wheels.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the better looking, well scaled rebuilds in this part of Bethesda. It is not going to be easy finding a tenant - not a lot of walk-by traffic. I will have to check the Sq. Ft. $ to see if it makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE THE MURAL!
