At the corner, The Flats are set back from the newly curved street and a vertical glass tower is introduced as a focal point. Just under 50,000 square feet of in-demand retail open onto the street creating a hub of activity. Cafes with outdoor seating, barn style doors, and sleek store-fronts combine to create an experience that feels as if it has always been part of the Bethesda Row neighborhood.

Lot 31 transformed a surface public parking lot into luxury residences, outstanding retail, beautiful public spaces, and expanded public parking. The project is a textbook example of an outstanding mixed-use project and an extremely successful Public Private Partnership.
