Rosslyn Business Improvement District

Happy Bike to Work Day to all who celebrate! And many people celebrate here in Rosslyn! Gateway Park hosts the largest pit stop in the region, and we welcome more than cyclists on their commute. We are happy to see newly elected County Board members Maureen Coffey and Susan Cunningham stop by! Thanks to BikeArlington for bringing these community partners together at the park. And shout-out to everyone at the larger Arlington Transportation Partners for promoting all commuting options in the County throughout the year. #BiketoWorkDay #BTWD #TDM

We are proud of our Ambassadors every day. And we want to recognize the achievement of our Ambassador Operations Manager Alicia Duenas! She was recognized as the "Rookie of the Year" by Block by Block! Her exemplary performance on the streets and her commitment to their organizational values have been truly commendable. In October 2016, Alicia Duenas started working with the BID as a Cleaning Ambassador. Her leadership and long-time dedication was recognized when she was promoted to her current role. It is great to be able to promote from within, as her years of experience around the streets of Rosslyn is unmatched! Congratulations! #BlockbyBlock #Ambassadors #staffappreciation

Graham Holdings Company, whose operations include a variety of services from education and health to media and hospitality, is moving their Rosslyn headquarters from 1300 17th Street to 1812 N Moore Street. "Class A and top-tier rated trophy office buildings in the D.C. area have fared much better than the overall D.C. area office market, where vacancy rates are at or near record highs. Newer and amenity-rich buildings remain at a premium given the limited supply in the market, according to 1812 North Moore developer Monday Properties." via WTOP News #CRE #HQrelocation #officebuildings
