Rosslyn

A capital place with a Capitol view

1801 Lynn Street building.Rosslyn, the eastern anchor of the Rosslyn-Ballston Metro corridor is known to many as Washington, D.C.'s skyline. But to the many who live and work there, it's much, much more. With its unmatched views and direct access to some of Arlington's most famous landmarks, such as the Iwo Jima memorial, Arlington House, Arlington National Cemetery, and Roosevelt Island, Rosslyn could be satisfied with simply being one of Arlington's major gateways. But it's not. Rosslyn is also home to more than 8 million square feet of office space, over 6,000 households, 2,200 hotel rooms, several urban parks, and many street-level restaurants.

Rosslyn, as always, has its eye on the future. The "smart building" at 1801 North Lynn is a nationally recognized, cutting-edge building wired for the 21st Century. Innovative projects like this and Public sculpture in RosslynWaterview, a full-service hotel and condominium complex coupled with some of the most prestigious office space in the region, bring Rosslyn to a new level of sophistication. Major employers in Rosslyn include The Boeing Company; Raytheon; WJLA-TV; IBM; Friedman, Billings, and Ramsey; Systems Planning Corporation; Applied Energy Services; The Freedom Forum; and the American Chemistry Council.
