Uh, I don't know about other people, but I wouldn't call this a "suburban low-rise"... it's almost 400' tall and while Rosslyn may play second fiddle to DC, it's still an urban district. I'd actually go so far as saying it's one of the most urban in the country (behind NYC, SFO, Boston, Philly, Chicago, and DC proper, obviously, and maybe another core city or two... but Rosslyn is actually very dense and very walkable). The only problem Rosslyn has is a lack of residential, IMO... which in turn is the reason why the area lacks "urban fabric" (aka street life). These new projects should certainly help, in that regard.
