High-Rises Approved That Would Dwarf D.C. – The Post
I think it has been over two years since I mentioned the Rosslyn skyline, but since it is in the news again. A developer is trying to build a 388 foot tall building that will include an observation deck. The hope is to turn Rosslyn into something better than the “roll up the sidewalks at 5:30 p.m.” neighborhood it is now. There is some whining from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and the National Park Service about building up the skyline of course. I don’t buy the argument that a more distinctive and attractive Rosslyn skyline detracts from Capital scene and that is redundant since there is the matter of a border along the Potomac.
