Expected delivery for Avocet Tower is late 2021. In order to develop this property, Stonebridge built a new 2nd District police station on Rugby Avenue prior to demolishing the former police station on the site. “Smart windows” with dynamic tinting glass will control heat and glare. There will also be a large street-level public plaza under the building overhang. The site is zoned for 250 feet of height, but the 22-story building is allowed to rise to 290 feet with the inclusion of a 40-foot-tall covered rooftop terrace for tenants.

Bethesda’s Avocet Tower project, which includes office space and an AC Hotel by Marriott, will have a 40-foot-tall covered rooftop terrace. Construction is planned to begin in 2021, and is expected to be completed in at least two phases over several years. The project will include a clubhouse for residents and a noise wall adjacent to the Beltway, and is required to dedicate 4.3 acres on the property to Montgomery County Public Schools for a potential school site. The project generated legal challenges due to concerns about local traffic congestion, a forest conservation waiver and the amount of development. The sale of the 75-acre property by Cumulus Media to Toll Brothers for $74.1 million was finalized last summer.
