Rosslyn High-Rise Gets FAA Go-Ahead – The Post
No Aviation Hazard Found, Agency Says
The FAA cleared a 387 ft. tall high-rise building in Rosslyn up the hill from the tallest buildings, 1000 and 1100 Wilson Blvd. (nee USA Today and Gannett buildings). It could very well be the last building of that height though.
I’ve said before that the two things D.C. lacked were skyscrapers and baseball. There isn’t much hope for the former, though Rosslyn is helping a little and I can’t recall what happened about the latter.
Here is the best image I could find of the approved building:
I don’t know if this is up to date though.
Hopefully, the 400 ft. barrier will be broken when Tysons is redeveloped around Metro. As it is now, Tysons has a skyline if you look from the right angles.
