Construction Update - Lot 31 - Upscale Condos

For the past few years we have all been wondering what would be built on the county parking lot - known as lot 31 - adjacent to Bethesda Row. The Washington Post gave us an answer to this question in an article yesterday.

Monty Hoffman, owner of PN Hoffman and Doug Firstenberg owner of StonebridgeCarras spoke with Johnathan O'Connell of the Post to give them an overview of what is to come.

Latest word is that there will be 60 luxury condominiums above retail at street level. Prices of the condo units will range from $750,000 to $3,000,000. They are hoping that construction can begin next spring or summer. Much depends upon their ability to convince financial backers that the project is viable.

In addition - there would be over 40,000 square feet of ground level retail space and close to 1,300 underground parking spots. This will considerably increase the amount of parking that is there currently - and hopefully be enough to support the additional commercial and residential development.

The names of the projects will be "The Loft's" for StonebridgeCarras and "The Darcy" for PN Hoffman. "The Darcy" is named in honor of 19th century Bethesda store owner William E. Darcy.

Any concern about construction of this new project wreaking havoc in the resale market should now be allayed. The high end construction would be more likely to raise prices in our marketplace then depress them. For all condo owners in the area - congratulations! Your values will be going up.

I will continue to report on status of this project. Feel free to e-mail me at any time with questions. Click here for The Washington Post Article regarding construction!

New Listings Coming Soon!

The fall selling season is here - and the Bethesda/Chevy Chase market is vibrant. While last year at this time there were close to 10 units on the market for sale. Currently - there are only two units on the market and both are being shown quite a bit.

What does this mean?

The glut of inventory in the condo market in Bethesda/Chevy Chase is gone. New construction units at The Adagio and The Chase are almost sold out, and this has allowed the inventory to sell in our building. This bodes well for all units for sale at Crescent Plaza - and I'd love to have a few more to show.

Within the next two weeks I will be putting 2 separate one bedroom units on the market. Both units are on upper floors - and have parking included with the sale. Both of the units have upgraded kitchens and one of them has extensively upgraded the trim package with Crown Moulding and overhead spot lighting in the family room.

Call me if you would like to see either of these units before they formally are released to the public. If you have a friend or family member that loves the building - why not give them a call? I promise I will take very good care of them.

With the market heating up - I really need 2 additional listings to allow me to market the building efficiently. Why not call me today? I have all the latest data on sales in the building and local market. The time is now!

Ready to Sell ? Call Today!

Summer is almost over, and inventory of units to sell in Crescent Plaza is low. I have completed my last active transaction and am looking for the next unit here to market and sell.

Have you been considering selling your unit here? Do you have questions about what your unit may be worth? Do you need assistance in finding good and trustworthy contractors to make improvements in your unit?

I have the answers to all of your questions regarding Crescent Plaza. With 5 transactions this past year, I am the number one agent in the building. Who do competitors call when making pricing decisions? Me!

Most of all - I can supply references from your former neighbors and unit owners here. Call me today for a list of satisfied customers.
