Friends,

I wanted to take a few minutes to write about a wonderful high end condo project that is being planned for Bethesda. The project, which is based around twin residential buildings, envisions 60 condos in the $750,000-$3,000,000 range combined with upscale retail in the downtown Bethesda area. The location for the project is the county owned parking lot on the corner of Woodmont and Bethesda avenue and it is being spear headed by Monty Hoffman and Doug Firstenberg. Mr. Hoffman is, of course, the head of PN Hoffman and Mr. Firstenberg is the head of  StonebridgeCarras.

I for one am really looking forward to this effort moving forward, the lead time for delivery seems realistic (2014 I believe) and it would enhance an already vibrant downtown area. One interesting historical aspect is that one of the towers will be called Darcy — this is a nice nod to Bethesda’s roots (if you want to read a terrific post by my colleague Tom on the subject see here).

I intend to provide more info in the months ahead but want to leave this thread open for comments on this matter. What do you think of the project?

PS As ever, if I can assist with any real estate matter give me a call
