Is the parking garage behind the Hilton part of the air rights project there?

 

[type001]

^Yes.

The Hilton actually looks OK on the side with the glass. Future developents will hide the other sides well.

Above grade! Love it. Bets on it topping out by year's end?

What gives? I could have sworn this was fully concrete construction. Certainly looked like it when I rode by it yesterday.

They should rename that intersection "Hotel Sq".

Wow, Dave, nice picture! These two are moving on up, and fast!

Jesus don't laugh. Knowing BRA naming conventions, they probably will. If the streets weren't already here we'd also be looking at Hotel Drive and Four Seasons Way and probably a service alley with a bucolic name like Cedar Lane. They might even try to rename the whole area with something completely ahistorical and generic sounding, something like "Boston Landing" (ooo, wait...)

Please forgive me for using colons instead of "hypothetical question marks" in my last post to this thread. I was not trying to imply in my five words that I knew the construction materials being used for this project.

As always, whighlander, thank you for ________________________...

This is cast-in-place concrete construction.

That's because Dulles is in the middle of freaking nowhere.
