Central Place, Mixed-use skyscraper in Rosslyn, US

Central Place is a mixed-use development in Rosslyn, Arlington, Virginia, made up of Central Place Tower, an office building, to the south and a residential tower to the north, with a plaza between them. The office tower is the headquarters of Gartner and CoStar Group. The complex sits directly above the Rosslyn station of the Washington Metro and some bedrock.

Design work on Central Place began in 2002, and construction was scheduled to start in 2008. The Great Recession pushed the start back to 2014. The complex sits directly above the Rosslyn station of the Washington Metro and on bedrock, which posed engineering challenges during construction.

Central Place takes its name from the plaza between its two towers, a public space above the Rosslyn Metro station. The office tower holds Virginia's second public observation deck, after Richmond's City Hall, at nearly 490 ft (149 m) above sea level, the highest public point in the Washington metropolitan area.

Central Place sits directly above the Rosslyn station of the Washington Metro, so the complex is reached by train without going outdoors. The plaza between the office tower and the residential tower is open to passers-by, and the observation deck is reached from inside the office tower.

The office tower's public observation deck sits nearly 490 ft (149 m) above sea level, making it the highest publicly accessible point in the Washington metropolitan area. It is Virginia's second public observation deck, after the one at Richmond's City Hall.
