Skyline 609 is a private event space that is a quaint location for corporate meetings, cocktail parties, classes, retreats, special events, media production filming, and commercial still photography. Skyline has hosted film shoots for commercials, corporate videos, and short films. 

“Filming at Skyline 609 was a great experience! The owner, Jon, and manager, Anne were able to accommodate all of our requests for manipulation of furniture in the spaces, scheduling times, and were present and helpful during production days,” said a spokesperson for a recent on-location shoot at Skyline 609. 

Skyline 609 offers a versatile and visually dynamic location for film, video, and still photography shoots, with clear views of the Capitol, as well as scenic vistas of the Northeast and Southeast quadrants of the District of Columbia. With window or roof deck facing three directions, there are multiple views, allowing a single location to offer a variety of visual looks and backdrops. This LEED-certified facility includes a 1,600 SF multi-purpose room plus an additional 3,000 SF outdoor terrace.  

The indoor Skyline 609 space accommodates 100 guests for cocktail events. The outdoor roof deck accommodated up to 150 for cocktail events. Both areas are furnished with mid-century-inspired couches, chairs, occasional tables, and tables and chairs suitable for meetings and small seated dinners.
