Grosvenor Americas (Grosvenor), a privately owned property development and investment company, announced today that its Structured Development Finance Program has provided $6.8 million for Madison Homes’ Grosvenor Place, a residential townhome community in North Bethesda, Maryland.
Groundbreaking of Grosvenor Place will begin in November and sales on the 46 townhomes is expected to start in mid-2019 with first delivery in Q3 2019. The four-story townhomes will offer three- and four-bedroom floorplans, featuring finished lofts on the top floor, as well as private rooftop terraces.
Situated a quarter of a mile from Rockville Pike and within half a mile walk to the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro station (Red Line), Grosvenor Place is convenient to downtown Bethesda and a wide array of neighborhood retailers. Rock Creek Park and its more than 30 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails are also in close proximity to the site.
“Grosvenor Place aligns well with our strategy of investing in well-located residential projects with reputable developers,” said Matt Stein, Manager, Co-Investment with Grosvenor Americas. “We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Madison Homes on what, we are certain, will be a very successful project”
Grosvenor Place is located in an area that was once the country estate of the US-based Grosvenor family whose lineage includes Alexander Graham Bell and the former President of the National Geographic Society*.
“We are excited to bring Grosvenor Place to market and are thrilled to be working with Grosvenor Americas,” said Andrew Rosenberger, Vice President of Madison Homes. “The combination of Grosvenor Americas’ world class experience and financial strength and Madison Homes’ expertise in developing unique in-fill communities creates a very strong team and we are eager to start development and sales at Grosvenor Place.”
