BETHESDA, MD–StonebridgeCarras and The Donohoe Cos. are moving forward with plans to begin construction in the third quarter of 2019 for their project at 8280 Wisconsin Ave. They also unveiled their plans for the 175,000-square foot building, which is expected to deliver in the summer of 2012: namely to create a commercial center for life sciences.

The companies are working for approvals with Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission with the hope of securing them by this Fall.

StonebridgeCarras and Donohoe describe their vision for the project, Bethesda Bio, as the meeting of two trends: 1) companies locating their operations near mass transportation and in vibrant urban areas and 2) life sciences companies seeking to be close to institutions driving research and advancement.
