History:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia Power & Electric Company commissioned the construction of this headquarters tower in the mid 1970’s. This tower would join the Federal Reserve Tower as one of the newest high-rises in the “Main-to-James” revitalization area. The tower occupies an entire city block, which a substantial amount of the tower podium reserved for an outdoor plaza. The building closely resembles the architecture style of the Federal Reserve Tower with the narrow window casings, a recessed first floor and distinctive mechanical floors at the base and crown of the tower.<\/p>\n

Building Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building is composed of a high-rise tower, built on a semi-elevated podium which is visible along the 7th, 8th and Byrd Street elevations. The podium contains approximately 360 covered parking spaces. The high-rise tower contains approximately 394,000 square feet of building area. Dominion placed building-mounted signage on three of the upper floors of the tower in the mid 2000s.<\/p>\n

Based on construction photographs, the internal tower structure is constructed with reinforced concrete and clad with metal panels and glass windows on the exterior facade.<\/p>\n
