Glen Waye Gardens Condominium is a 214-unit garden apartment condominium complex with a five-acre footprint on a 15-acre property that drains into the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River. Built in the late 1960’s, it was converted from a rental property into a condominium and is now populated by residents of diverse backgrounds. Bethesda Green worked with Glen Waye Gardens Condominiums in Silver Spring to help mitigate stormwater runoff into the Anacostia River and reduce flooding, erosion, and property damage. Together we installed of a stormwater management system and 18,517 square ft. of conservation garden. Now, for every one-inch rainstorm, 2,028 cubic ft of stormwater is treated, and absorbed into the environment.
