Investment Summary

Feldman Ruel is pleased to offer for sale 8804 Old Georgetown Road, a designated historic retail property situated on a 12,363-square-foot (0.28-acre) lot at the signalized intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Greentree Road in Bethesda, Maryland, directly across from the National Institutes of Health campus. The subject property has operated continuously as a commercial site for over 130 years and is one of the few surviving early 20th-century retail structures in the Bethesda submarket. Although the underlying zoning is R-60, 8804 Old Georgetown Road holds rare and irreplaceable commercial entitlements established through a Zoning Text Amendment which are affirmed by a Circuit Court Order and further supported by a Department of Permitting Services (DPS) confirmation. Allowable uses include food and beverage establishments, other retail and service, office, and clinic. Notably, food truck use has been confirmed by DPS, and drive-thru is allowable as an accessory use subject to site plan approval. The historic structure has been fully renovated and preserved, and a new building extension was constructed with new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. An accessory shed and approved food truck use on-site provide additional operational flexibility and income versatility. The subject property is delivered in shell condition, allowing an owner-user to tailor the build-out to their specific concept with lower upfront capital expenditures. With proven food-and-beverage demand validated by Call Your Mother Deli’s five-year operation at the site, strong visibility and traffic counts, affluent Bethesda demographics, and entitlements that cannot be replicated, 8804 Old Georgetown Road represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic retail asset in one of the Washington, D.C. area's most desirable submarkets.
