Located along the main thoroughfare outside Washington, D.C., North Bethesda Market in Maryland is an upscale mixed-use development of residential, shopping, dining, and recreational space in a community that is being redefined.
For decades, the area comprised office buildings and standard suburban retail offerings. Today, it reflects the new urbanism vision of a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly place where people live, work, and play.
The commercial section of the development includes a six-story structure that is anchored by a Whole Foods grocery store. Particularly at night, the building contributes to the neighborhood’s exciting, modern aesthetic, thanks to the creative use of iLight’s Plexineon White 2X 3500K fixtures on three sides of the exterior.
