That is correct. Eleven55 is the tallest structure under construction in Silver Spring. Eleven55 is also the tallest structure under construction in MoCo.

Eleven55 has reached ground level. Hopefully after the podium, this highrise should rise fast.

I noticed a parking garage ramp being formed 1st floor above grade for Eleven55. How many floors of parking will be above grade?

Note: the rendering in the above article is of the prior design of the building (when it was going to be office, not residential).

Silver Spring Library Nearing Construction Start



Quote:
The new Silver Spring Library, nearly 13 years in the making, is finally nearing construction as crews now work to relocate "dry utilities."

Don Scheuerman, section chief for project management at the county's Division of Building Design and Construction, said building permit applications were submitted, and staff is reviewing interested contractors, a list he expects to publish in about 30 days.



The library now is planned as a 5-story, cast- stone building at Fenton Street and Wayne Avenue. A pavilion with a glass facade facing Fenton connected to the main building at the top of the second floor creates a covered path for the future Purple Line to pass through.



The library will occupy the top three stories. Pyramid Atlantic will use the first two floors and the basement.

Initial designs released in 2009 showed a taller building with County offices on the sixth floor and library meeting space on the seventh floor.

The County has been working on the new library since at least 1999 when it approved funding. When completed, the new library will replace the existing Silver Spring Library -- the County's oldest community library.

The project officially broke ground in August 2010, but only site preparation was begun. Construction will hopefully start this fall. Total build-out should take about two years for a late 2014 opening.
[...]

Hah! I researched my high school term papers in the Silver Spring public library around 1960. Didn't look like this.

I'm impressed by most of it, but I would like them to do much more to the facade on Fenton Street/Ellsworth Drive across from the movies. (found on slide 23) It still looks very 50's/60's to me even with those minor "improvements", I would suggest taking down the entire corner/facade and making it fully glass.

Btw nice find!

Yeah I do remember it being planned but still the facade isn't nice, I'm a fan of both classical and modern architecture and I don't deem this as classical so it needs to be re-done. But I do wonder if the tower is still coming or not, I guess we'll find out in some years.

Damn... I need to find my camera. Eleven55 has reached the 7th floor; 3rd floor for the residential portion. Plenty of more floors to go.

Excavation continues for 8711 Georiga Ave.

Also I have learned from Davis Contracting that the tower crane for Eleven55 will be jumped sometime next week. According to the rendering posted onsite, the tower will have 21 floors and a one floor mechanical penthouse on top.

The tower crane for 8711 Georgia Ave, known as The Premier, is being assembled.

I have new toy. I will take pictures and try to post after installation of the tower crane is complete.
