1000 and 1100 Wilson Boulevard, collectively known as the Rosslyn Twin Towers, were the tallest buildings in the Washington metropolitan area for three decades until the completion of 1812 N Moore a block away. They remain the tallest twin towers in the region and the state of Virginia.
The buildings are home to the headquarters of Politico and WJLA-TV, and were formerly home to the headquarters of Gannett Company/USA Today.
The towers are part of a complex that features retail, and televisions and news tickers visible from the nearby intersection. Arlington County approved construction of rooftop decks for each tower, with the newest projected to be open by spring 2016.
