List of tallest buildings in Arlington County, Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rosslyn skyline in 2024
The Rosslyn neighborhood in 2024, seen from across the Potomac River from the National Mall in Washington D.C.

This is a list of the tallest buildings in Arlington County, Virginia, ranked by height.[1] Due to the height restrictions imposed in Washington D.C., many of the tallest buildings in the D.C metropolitan area are constructed in Arlington, right across the Potomac River from Washington.[2]

Under Virginia law, towns may be incorporated within counties; however, the state does not permit the creation of any new incorporated towns within a county that has a population density greater than 1,000 persons per square mile. As such, Arlington has no incorporated towns within its borders, but a number of neighborhoods within Arlington are commonly referred to by name as if they were distinct towns.[3] The largest and most prominent of these neighborhoods are Rosslyn, Pentagon City, Crystal City, Courthouse, and Ballston. Each are located along the Blue, Orange, Silver and/or Yellow lines of the Washington Metro rail system and contain Arlington's tallest buildings.
