WHEATON, MD. — Lowe Enterprises has started the redevelopment of 11411 Georgia Avenue, an existing five-story office building in Wheaton, into an apartment building. The company will add seven stories to the existing building, creating a 12-story apartment tower with 194 residences with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units designed to appeal to young urban professionals. Construction began in mid-June with completion scheduled in 2014. Whiting Turner is the contractor for the project with Bonstra Haresign as the architect. Lowe Enterprises Investors acquired the property on behalf of a pension fund client in September 2011. Lowe currently manages nearly 2 million square feet of commercial property in the Washington, D.C., area.
