The buzz in downtowns impacted by the work-from-home revolution is all about converting underused office buildings into housing. This is already happening in downtown Silver Spring. The Guardian Building at 8605 Cameron Street and Georgia Avenue is undergoing just such a conversion. It will essentially double the height of the building when complete, and replace mostly-vacant offices with 177 apartments, and 7496 SF of retail and restaurant space. What you see here is the gutting of the current office structure. The plan long predates the pandemic, having been introduced by the property owner in 2017.
