Route 423 – Central Tysons: Quick and Useful

When the Silver Line started last year the most glaring deficiency I saw in the proposed transit network in Tysons was the proposed 423 bus route. In September I broke down all the problems with the 423 route. The fact that from the most populous portion of North Tysons one can walk to Tysons Corner […]

Tysons Bus Circulators Get New Routes

It’s been a couple of weeks since the Fairfax County Connector service in Tysons underwent a re-routing of the new circulator service that began only a year ago. Almost immediately after the new Tysons circulators began service last July it was obvious that the routes would not function. Changes during the planning of the circulator […]

Construction Updates At Elan Tysons West

It’s only been three months since we last visited Greystar’s newest construction site in Tysons, Elan Tysons West. At that time the tower was a meager two-stories above ground. Practice seems to make perfect for Greystar’s second tower in town, as they have been able to climb nearly seven more floors since that time. The future […]

The tent was erected with numerous cranes and is visible from both Route 7 and Route 123. The answer, Peter Pan Live is coming to Tysons in what is being called the three-sixty theater. The show […]

Levant and Crust Pizza Show Signs of Maturing Urbanism In Tysons

Tucked away from the main thoroughfare of Route 123 on the west side of Tysons, two new restaurants which are opening without major fanfare, are showing there is life outside of the new high-rises climbing the Tysons skyline. Over the past few months the small retail property located near the intersection of Old Courthouse Road and […]

Scotts Run Station North Back At The Board

A couple years ago Cityline Partners pulled the rezoning application for Scotts Run Station North after having gained approval on Scotts Run Station South. There were a few causes for the change in heart: VDOT approval was pending steps forward on the long anticipated Jones Branch Connector, there was question on whether Cityline was over […]

Around The Corner

Today in Around the Corner the future and present “Boro” neighborhood has a lot to offer residents. It’s been a long while, but VITA apartments at Tysons Corner Metro is open. And a new pedestrian bridge is under construction between two office buildings.

Jones Branch Fields To Open This Saturday

There have been a lot of questions about those pristine looking sports fields located next to Freddie Mac and Gannett on Jones Branch the past few months. The fields have looked complete for a few months after having been constructed by Cityline Partners as part of their Arbor Row project, but have lain dormant since then […]
