The Maryland-National Capital Parks & Planning Commission has unanimously approved plans for Pooks Hill, a two-tower, 562-unit residential complex in the metropolitan Washington, DC neighborhood of Bethesda, MD, adjoining the Headquarters campus of the National Institutes of Health. With that, SITIO, serving as the Designer and Architect of Record for the project, enters the final design and construction documents phase for the project with its multidisciplinary team of collaborators. Exeter Property Group, a leading national real estate owner and operator, is the developer.
The unique character of the development draws on the topography and lush vegetation of the Pooks Hill conservation area it adjoins, to create a sophisticated living environment that complements the wild natural side of the site with the urbane character of its contemporary architecture and open spaces. Construction is slated to begin early Summer of 2021 for occupancy in the Summer of 2023.
