Meeting Planned to Discuss Demolition of Apex Building in Bethesda

For Immediate Release: Monday, June 20, 2016

(From Bethesda Magazine, June 20, 2016) Carr Properties, the developer planning to demolish the Apex Building near the Bethesda Metro station, is scheduled to host a community meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday at 4500 East West Highway in Bethesda to share its plans to replace the building currently housing the Bethesda Regal Cinemas.

In February, the Montgomery County Planning Board approved Carr’s sketch plan for the site,  which calls for two residential buildings and one office building with maximum heights of 290 feet. Carr is planning to coordinate with the Maryland Transit Administration so that a new Purple Line station can be constructed below the buildings while the buildings are being constructed.
