ARLINGTON
Ballston Point, an 11-story office building with a cylinder-shaped
tower, received the 2004 Award of Excellence for Best
Building, Speculative High Rise, from the Northern Virginia
chapter of the National Association of Industrial Office
Properties. The $30 million, 268,000-square-foot building
serves as a gateway into Rosslyn-Ballston, a trendy,
mixed-used development area in Arlington. A key design
challenge was working around a tight in-fill at the
building’s location at the intersection of Glebe
Road and Wilson Boulevard. The solution was an asymmetrical,
triangular-shaped building, which creates column space
on all floors, while integrating a circular glass element.
The wining design team consisted of members from the
architectural firm of Davis Carter Scott, with offices
in McLean and Washington, D.C., Monument Realty of Washington,
D.C., and general contractor G. Davis Construction Corp.
of Rockville, Md. One of the building’s major
tenants is the AES Corp.
