Marriott International Inc. announced it has signed a letter of intent with a joint venture between The Bernstein Companies and Boston Properties to develop its new corporate headquarters and hotel project in downtown Bethesda. The selected site is located at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue, at the corner of Wisconsin and Norfolk Avenues and spans two-blocks to the south and one block west to Woodmont Avenue, just a short walk from the Bethesda Metro station. The new headquarters will provide a cutting-edge workspace for Marriott's associates, offering technology, modern amenities and access to a range of transportation options. The new offices will meet green building standards, allow abundant natural light and provide the company's associates new opportunities for flexible, collaborative work spaces. The campus will also offer a childcare center for associates, a fitness center and a cafeteria. The new Marriott hotel will feature over 8,000 square feet of flexible meeting and ballroom space for meetings, banquets and conferences, and a variety of dining and social amenities, including a ground-floor restaurant with outdoor dining, a specialty coffee shop and a seasonal rooftop dining terrace.
