Silver Spring construction update: Solaire 8250 Georgia Avenue (Photos)

Some of the distinguishing architectural features shown in the renderings of the Solaire 8250 Georgia Avenue apartment tower are now visible at the construction site, such as an angled glass accent near one of the corners of the building. This is Washington Property Company's second project in downtown Silver Spring's Ripley District, and their fourth Solaire-branded property in Montgomery County.

With a height of 20 stories, the Solaire 8250 will hold 338 apartments and 15000 SF of retail space, including outdoor seating for dining. Parking will be located in a three-level underground garage. Amenities will include a resort-style rooftop swimming pool and deck, cyber cafe, private courtyard, fitness center, and a club room complete with kitchen, library, flatscreen TV, fireplace and game room. Apartments will be a mix of studios and 1-and-2 bedroom units.

Lendlease is the contractor for the project, Design Collective of Baltimore is the architecture firm, and leasing of the street-level retail and restaurant space will be handled by Streetsense. Delivery is was expected for Spring 2019 - do you think they're going to meet the deadline? It looks pretty close, and they've technically got two more months.
