Who wants the dirt on the most recent proposals, and images galore? \



The SAIC proposal (tallest 420'):

Capital One (tallest 392'):

Georgelas Group (tallest 360'):

The Georgelas Group's certainly seems the most ambitious in terms of area being developed, although all three are massive expansions. I really hope the county reconsiders the 400' height recommendation for future developments as well, even something at 500-600' would be remarkable for the area. SAIC's proposal would certainly be the closest thing yet to a regional skyscraper icon, given it's proposed at 420' to roof and one of the illustrations shows a spire, perhaps past 500'?

Also, phase 1 of Georgelas's project involved construction of its tallest proposed building(s), unlike the other two projects.
