Proposed Condo/Apartment Building at 814 Thayer Avenue - Currently an Office Building (Accross from Silver Spring Towers Apartments) will be a 5 story 52 Unit Residential Building - Units will be 1 or 2 Bedroom - Some will have a mezzanine. Expected Prices are to be less than $450,000. The developers are not sure how many or if any units will be for rent. The designers are considering the location as a "transistional site" between the commercial buildings of the Fenton Street Village and the adjoining residential area. The building facade along Thayer Ave. will be pointed, with extensive glass panelling, the building will be set back from the street, and have a small plaza featuring chess tables, plus trees & ornamental plants. The current building on the site was once home to the National Association of the Deaf & the National Association of the Deaf and Blind, to commemorate this the new building will have Braille on the exterior surface, plus other tributes to these associations. There will be only be 37
parking spaces for this Building. This Building design is Conceptual and not Final, at this time. The East Silver Spring Citizens Association heard about this proposed development at their January Meeting.
For the February meeting the East Silver Spring Citizens Association will hear from the Attorney for the developers of the site on the southeast corner of Silver Spring Avenue and Fenton Street. (currently a Parking Lot - Just a block away from the 814 Thayer Ave Site) There is a 94 Unit Residential Project proposed. This project will be either Condominiums or Apartments. Residents in East Silver Spring have some valid concerns about traffic and parking, in and around an already busy, crowded, way too narrow Fenton Street. Hpefully these projects will be as nice and enjoy the same success as Loft 24 on the corner of Bonifant and Fenton Street.
