It has 220 units, more than the Cathedral Commons development and only 135 parking spaces (I think the Cathedral Commons development will have 400+). If you're arguing for more density for the Giant and less expensive, off-street parking that will only encourage more driving and congestion, then this is very welcomed.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-46562628219601363332011-09-16T09:53:20.110-04:002011-09-16T09:53:20.110-04:0012:34 is exactly right.

The architecture is quite good -- much better, for example, than the neo-Clarendon generica that Giant has chosen for its Cathedral Commons project. In fact, there are a lot of things Giant could learn from Safeway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-51324705876538509512011-09-15T22:32:01.462-04:002011-09-15T22:32:01.462-04:00I wonder why they didn't put housing atop the ...I wonder why they didn't put housing atop the new store in Bethesda?

Natural materials that will age gracefully, a design that strives to harmonize with it's surroundings.
