Region's Tallest Building Proposed In Tysons To Get 'Skygarden'

TYSONS, VA—Plans have been altered for the Tysons development set to become the tallest building in the DC region. The 600-foot tall building, which would be taller than the Washington Monument, will feature a rooftop garden at the top.

The development near the Spring Hill Metro was originally planned to have residential units, a hotel and retail, but new plans propose office space with a "Skygarden" and public atrium, Washington Business Journal reports. The “SkyGarden would provide 360-degree views, according to the Business Journal. Other features include a civic plaza, an "art walk" and three theaters.

It still has to go through the approval process, although the changes reportedly resulted from recommendations county staff made.
