Renderings of 7126 Wisconsin Avenue


„ Plans for a large new residential development in downtown Bethesda are coming into focus with the first images of the building and a revised program for the residential units.

Since first being pitched last year, Wisconsin Avenue Properties LLC has filed new plans with the Montgomery County planning commission for a 21-story, 330-unit residential project at 7126 Wisconsin Avenue (map). The development, designed by SK+I Architecture, would sit at Wisconsin and Bethesda Avenues, across from the historic Farm Women’s Market.“

„ The beginning of the end is here for RFK stadium. The DC government filed a raze and site stabilization application for the 61-year old stadium on Monday, signaling the beginning of demolition work.

It has been a rough six months for the stadium. While work was ongoing to remove hazardous materials, two small fires broke out inside RFK in July. A day later, the city’s sports and conventions agency Events DC announced that demolition of the stadium would be complete by the end of 2023. “
