D.C. developer to build ‘invincibility’ monument

A well-established local real estate developer will present his plans today for a “Tower of Invincibility” monument that he plans to build on a publicly chosen site in the D.C. area.

Jeffrey S. Abramson, a partner in the Bethesda-based Towers Cos., said he plans to build a 12-story, 20,000-square-foot marble monument that will house multimedia exhibits teaching visitors “technologies of consciousness” that include Transcendental Meditation, a mental technique that involves silently repeating a mantra for 20 minutes twice a day.
