Mark Center Building

The Mark Center Building, located in Alexandria, Virginia, serves as a significant United States military installation and office space for various Department of Defense agencies. Established as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closures process, it is notable for being the tallest building constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The site, which spans sixteen acres and is part of Fort Belvoir, was chosen to enhance security and consolidate DoD offices. Since its opening in 2011, the building has been a focal point of regional traffic concerns due to the relocation of approximately 6,500 employees from more accessible locations, necessitating commutes via busy highways.
