Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

Quarry Springs Associates, a joint venture between 1788 Holdings and IHP Capital Partners, today announced the commencement of construction on the first phase of The Estate Condominiums at Quarry Springs, a 97-unit, luxury condominium development project located on River Road in Bethesda, Maryland, just west of Seven Locks Road.

The first phase of the project will include 50 units in two, five-story buildings and is expected to be delivered in late fall of 2015. Amenities included in the first phase will be a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, an outdoor pool, a waterfall and meandering stream, extensive landscaping throughout the property, full concierge services, gated access with 24-hour security and valet parking for guests. The average unit size will be an expansive 3,200 square feet, excluding significant terrace space included with each unit. “We designed spacious residences utilizing our direct entry elevator concept to establish a premiere lifestyle in one of Washington’s most distinguished neighborhoods,” as described by Robert Swedroe the Miami-based architect on his firm’s creation. Construction on the second phase of the project is expected to commence in 2016 and will add another 47 units.

Larry Goodwin, a principal of 1788 Holdings said of the project, “We are very excited to have commenced construction of this long-awaited project. The volume of inquiries we have already received suggests that there is significant demand for this well-located, true high end residential condominium product in Montgomery County.”
