Plans for downtown Bethesda apartment building with public park win approval

The proposed redevelopment of a public surface parking lot in downtown Bethesda into a 12-story multifamily apartment building with up to 59 units for sale is moving forward now that Montgomery County planners have approved the project’s latest plans. The project, led by Broad Branch Partners of Washington, D.C., also includes the construction of a public park that will be part of the downtown Bethesda Eastern Greenway, an element of the 2017 Bethesda Downtown Plan. The building will be located near 4702 West Virginia Ave. to the east of Wisconsin Avenue.
