Rosslyn Twin Towers

Rosslyn Twin Towers, Commercial buildings in Rosslyn, United States.

The Rosslyn Twin Towers are two matching office towers at 1000 and 1100 Wilson Boulevard in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. Each rises 26 floors, and together they hold roughly 1.2 million square feet of office space. The complex also includes retail space, and televisions and news tickers are visible from the nearby intersection.

First proposed in 1978 as Arland Towers on the site of a shopping center, the project drew opposition from federal officials, including Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus, who sued Arlington County to block it. The District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia rejected the suit, and construction went ahead. The towers stayed the tallest in the Washington metropolitan area until 1812 N Moore was completed in 2013.

The towers are home to the headquarters of Politico and WJLA-TV, and were formerly the headquarters of Gannett Company and USA Today. Televisions and news tickers in the complex are visible from the nearby intersection, so passers-by read headlines from the street.

The towers stand at 1000 and 1100 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn, a short walk from the Rosslyn Metro station and the Key Bridge into Georgetown. Televisions and news tickers are visible from the nearby intersection. Rooftop decks were approved for each tower in 2015 and finished in 2018, but they are private building amenities, not public viewing areas.

The towers were first proposed in 1978 as Arland Towers on the site of a shopping center, at a projected cost of $60 million. That year Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus sued Arlington County to block them, arguing they would ruin the skyline; the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia rejected the suit.
