1800 Tysons Boulevard is an award-winning, milestone development within the KPF-planned Corporate Office Center.
Standing on a prominent hillcrest in McLean, Virginia, this 15-story office tower overlooks the stately horizon of the nation’s capital. The building is composed of two parts, a gunmetal tile box and a folded plate of sculptured concrete. Each of these elements is articulated with horizontally striated glass and silver aluminum window frames. The building’s composition is oriented to present a tall tower elevation to Galleria Drive and a long, elegant façade to Tysons Boulevard.
State-of-the-art elevators, mechanical system, and high-performance glass contribute to a design that achieves Energy Star’s highest rating and provides tenants with a modern, comfortable work environment. At the base, retail shops, a restaurant, and a café enliven the building’s street presence as well as activate the corner with pedestrian life. With an enclosed pedestrian bridge system, public plazas, and green spaces, the building positively connects to the existing Tysons II development and surrounding community.
