The new tallest skyscraper in the Washington region is ready to begin construction.
In Rosslyn, demolition of existing buildings has completed at 1812 North Moore Street, which will soon be home to a 390-foot skyscraper. The tower will become the tallest in the area save the Washington Monument, and will feature a pyramid-capped design sure to become a local landmark.
It’s the latest news in the ongoing revitalization of Rosslyn, which also includes the already-under-construction curve-capped Central Place twin towers, the taller of which will reach 384-feet (also higher than all existing DC-area skyscrapers), and the 313-foot Turnberry Tower.
Together these towers will have a profound impact on central Rosslyn. What has been a dreary 1970s-era office ghetto will be transformed into a more vital and attractive neighborhood, and the Rosslyn skyline as seen from the National Mall will become much more visually stunning.
