Located adjacent the Rosslyn metro station, this project is a major component of Arlington County’s redevelopment of Rosslyn. 1812 North Moore provides a dramatic statement to the city skyline and revitalizes pedestrian traffic. With a height of 385 feet, the thirty-story office is currently the tallest building in the Washington Metropolitan Region, offering many unobstructed views into Georgetown, the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, the National Mall, and the Potomac River basin.
The 580,000-square-foot office building is partially constructed over an existing electrical substation, with a “thru-block” lobby hemmed in by the power substation and metro station. The parking structure includes six levels of parking above grade and three below. The all-glass tower rising above the street-level retail maximizes internal daylight and tenant views of surrounding landmarks. The building’s skin strategically utilizes varying combinations of reflectivity, transparency, and ceramic frit to provide maximum thermal performance, to enhance the sense of tower height and slenderness, and to minimize the visual impact of tenant build-out when viewed from the outside.
The project is designed to achieve LEED™ Platinum Certification and is among the largest Platinum Office Buildings in the country. In addition to environmental benefits, the project also benefits the community and surrounding streetscapes via improvements to the Rosslyn Metro Station. These efforts helped the project achieve a Gold certification in the LEED Neighborhood Development rating system.
The building was also given the US Green Building Council National Capitol Region Award for Best LEED for Neighborhood Development 2010.
