214:. Construction was slated to begin at the end of the year. Wright's plans for the U-shaped project, which he called Crystal City and later Crystal Heights, was announced at a press conference at Thurman's 1643 Connecticut Avenue office. The plan included a 240 feet (73 m) high central tower and 14 additional towers containing a 2,500 room hotel and apartments. The plan also included a theater seating more than 1,000 people, a large shopping center, nine bowling lanes, a large cocktail featuring a 400-foot (120 m) crystal bar, fountains, and a five-level parking deck facing Florida Avenue. A large open terrace that included the entrance to the hotel would be located on top of the parking deck. Crystal Heights was designed to only occupy around one-third of the Oak Lawn estate. Wright and Thurman said some of the estate's trees, including the Treaty Oak, would not be cut down, and that the Treaty Oak would be a "central feature of one of the terraces."

design would not be approved because the terrace and park on top would have been unavailable to pedestrians. Architectural historian Mina
Marefat said Crystal Heights "would have probably been Washington's best building...I certainly think it would have been Washington's most talked-about buildings" but that "I think that publicity was a factor in killing the project, because of the almost moralistic stands that both Wright and Thurman took."
