Pile driving to begin at Rockville senior housing project next month

Construction is beginning on the HarborChase Rockville Senior Living development at 55 W. Gude Drive. Early next month, pile driving will take place on the site, and a hydraulic vibrating pile driver will be brought in to work between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Whiting-Turner has requested a noise waiver for the pile driving, which is expected to go on for several months.

Here's an update on the other major project in Phase II of Rockville Town Center, the Brightview West End assisted living apartment building. Brightview is located at 285 N. Washington Street, and includes 195 units of independent and assisted living, 6568 SF of ground floor retail, dining facilities and a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard, and a "therapeutic" roof garden.

Alzheimer's care is also be a specialty at this residential building. Services include transportation to medical centers, museums and galleries, and local events.

A movie theater, library and "upscale pub with billiards and TV" round out the leisure options. It looks like there is a coffee shop in the building, as well. I have to say it looks quite nice compared to previous generations of such facilities, and certainly gives the residents a bit more energy being downtown.

Another Brightview senior housing project proposed in Rockville

Shelter Development, LLC has filed a pre-application submittal for a new Brightview senior housing development, this time at 1201 Seven Locks Road. Currently home to the Montrose West building, that office building would stay. A separate lot would be created on the southern area of the site for a new 198-unit senior housing development.

120 of the units would be for independent senior living, and the remaining 78 units divided between assisted living and memory care patients. Amenities will include a cafe and other dining facilities, a library, a media room, fitness center, art studio, spa/salon, and a movie theater. There will be 242 parking spaces in a three-level underground garage, and there will continue to be 278 surface and garage spaces for the existing office building.

The seven-story building will have an "F" configuration, and a setback from the sixth-floor up. Shelter has another Brightview building currently under construction in Rockville Town Center.

One of the major pieces of Rockville Town Center Phase 2 is the Brightview Senior Living West End project. Developer Shelter Group has planned the residential building to both offer internal activities, as well as the advantages of Rockville Town Square and other restaurants and retail within walking distance.

The project is scheduled to deliver this summer. For right now, a leasing office is open at 401 N. Washington Street, in Suite 100.

Construction continues on two projects in the second phase of Rockville Town Center's redevelopment. Furthest along is the Brightview Rockville building, which will offer apartments for senior citizens. That is the taller one you see in most of the pictures here. The shorter one next door, formerly home to the Suburban Trust Building at 255 N. Washington Street, is a mixed-use residential project by Kettler.
