County Board Approves Changes to Ames Center Development in Rosslyn arlnow.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from arlnow.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The proposal from Arlington-based Snell Properties would replace the Ames Center office building across from the Rosslyn Metro station. A south tower will abut the Hyatt Centric hotel and a north tower will surround the existing Arlington Temple United Methodist Church and Sunoco gas station, dubbed “Our Lady of Exxon.”
Although the church and gas station will be “redeveloped in place,” the skywalks which provide an elevated pedestrian connection to the Metro station will be demolished, according to the County.
Along with plans for the Holiday Inn and the RCA building, the proposal from Snell will further change Rosslyn’s skyline, demolishing the existing building, formerly occupied by the Art Institute of Washington.
