BETHESDA ROOFTOP RESTAURANT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

Construction crews at the future site of a rooftop restaurant, at the corner of Norfolk and Cordell Avenues, are working furiously and making rapid progress.

The Norfolk-Cordell II Building, designed by renowned local architect Steven Karr, is scheduled to open this summer. While it will house retail and restaurants, the crown jewel will be the rooftop restaurant and bar.  When it opens, Bethesda will finally have a rooftop spot to rival DC and Clarendon.

A crane is now on site to assist raising the girders. In the photos below, you'll see one that shows a rendering of the finished building attached to the perimeter fence. Of course, if you're a regular reader, you've already seen the photo and 3-D flythrough animation I posted when I broke this story last year.

There's no better news in the middle of winter, than an update about a rooftop restaurant opening this summer!
