Central Place is a mixed-use development in Arlington, Virginia, consisting primarily of Central Place Tower (headquarters of Gartner) to the south, and a residential tower to the north, with a plaza between them. The office tower is home to Virginia's second public observation deck, after the City Hall of Richmond, Virginia, located nearly 4900NaN0 above sea level,[3] and is the highest public location in the Washington metropolitan area.[4]
Design began in 2002 and construction was set to begin in 2008, but was delayed to 2014 due to the Great Recession.[1] The complex is located directly above the Rosslyn station of the Washington Metro and some bedrock, presenting engineering challenges.[1]
