The 21 Residential Developments on the Boards For Downtown Bethesda

Work is ongoing to make way for a pair of buildings delivering 144 market-rate and 31 affordable units and up to 12,500 square feet of commercial space at 4915 Auburn Avenue (map). The buildings will have a public plaza between them and the commercial space will front a section of Norfolk Avenue expected to eventually become a shared street. The development would also include up to 100 residential parking spaces and 85 bike spaces. Shalom Baranes is the architect.

Hampden East

Washington Property Company (WPC) and Douglas Development plan to replace the WPC headquarters at 4719 Hampden Lane (map) with a 262 foot-tall mixed-use building. The development would include 150 residential units (17.6% MPDUs) with 330,000 square feet of office above and up to 10,000 square feet of double-height retail below, potentially including an indoor/outdoor café at Hampden and East Lanes.

Deep setbacks between the residential and office floors would create outdoor amenity spaces, and the office tenants and residents would share a roof deck. There will also be up to 300 parking spaces on 3-4 below-grade levels. Shalom Baranes Associates is the architect.
