• Private development on the Court Square West Block. • Height of a redeveloped bulding would not exceed 153’-180.’ • Includes active ground floor uses.
County Building Combine with AMC
Concept
B
• County building of at least 300,000 square foot. • Provides consolidated county functions in one building. • Height is 20 stories. • Involves combined redevelopment of County owned Court Square West site and public/private AMC Theater site.
Concept
C
County Building Extend along 14th St.
• County building combined footprint = 36,600 square feet. • If buildings were the same height they would be 9-10 stories or 155’ to acheive 300,000 square feet. Heights can be modified between buildings to achieve design objectives. • Buildings can be connected fully or arched over N. Uhle. St. • Eastern Building can include a ground floor cultural facility.

Sketch of a potential redevelopment of CSW.
Standard Height- Shadow Study of a combined CSW and AMC building at 4:00 PM
Considerations • Activates west side of square. • Potential source of revenue to support development of the square and underground parking. • Building not visible from the National Mall. • Increases the potential for additional uses at Courthouse Plaza. • Redevelopment allows for coordinated improvement of gateway and access at N. Veitch St. and 14th St. N.
ENVISION COURTHOUSE SQUARE where people come together
Shadow study at Summer Solstice, 12:30 pm.
Shadow study at Summer Solstice, 4:30 pm.
Considerations • On axis with other County buildings on Courthouse Rd, provides a direct relationship and line of sight between County Administrative and Judicial functions. • Opportunity to solve long term county administrative needs on partially county owned land. Efficient footprint for consolidated County functions. • Require some level of public/private partnership to redevelop AMC Theatre. • AMC Theatre could be replaced on-site. • Allows for improved treatment of N. Veitch St. and 14th Rd. N. • Building unlikely to be visbile from the National Mall • Building shadows would impact the square in late afternoon.
Feedback results will be available online. Visit sites.arlingtonva.us/courthouse
Shadow study for Summer Solstice, 8AM - 5PM

Considerations • Provides a direct relationship and line of sight between County Administrative and Judicial functions. Opportunity for a ground cultural facility fronting the square. • Opportunity to solve long term county administrative needs on entirely county owned land. Efficient footprint for consolidated County functions. • Allows for improved treatment of N. Veitch St. and 14th Rd. N. • Building shadows would impact the square in late afternoon; exact distribution of building height may make the building visible from the National Mall • Frames the open space in the square to the north. • Building heights can be varied along 14th St. to reduce visual impact.
