Greystar has partnered with private equity firm Partners Group on the project.

The lot, at 7340 Wisconsin Avenue, is a prime piece of real estate in the middle of downtown Bethesda and has been vacant for the past several years. It was previously home to an Exxon gas station, and before that other gas stations dating back to the 1930s.

The site was cleared in 2009. The Exxon Mobil Foundation sold it to Bainbridge Wisconsin Avenue Apartments LLC in 2013.

The site is just south of Marriott International’s recently opened Bethesda headquarters high rise and hotel and just north of Bethesda Row.

Once complete, the yet-to-be-named building will have 301 residential units, 46 of which will be Moderately Priced Dwelling Units. It will lease studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with penthouses on the upper floors, some with private elevator access.

Amenities will include a rooftop pool, screening room, fitness center and 24-hour concierge. The building will also have ground floor retail.

The building is designed by Bethesda-based SK+I Architecture and New York-based interior designer JGNA.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
