City Submarkets Playing Important Role In Housing

This past week Gizmodo (evidently now discussing urban planning) had an article breaking down housing choices of millennials. Ever since the generation born between 1982 and 2004 started graduating college and entering the work force there has been debate on what their preferences in housing would be. Much of the selection of millennials comes from […]

Skywalk Installed To 1775 Tysons Boulevard

For all the construction wonks out there, it’s been a while since we saw an installation of a skywalk in Tysons. The last ones were put in place between the Tysons Corner Metro Station and Macerich’s Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. What might end up being the final skywalk in Tysons went up this past […]

Garfield Parcel By JLB Update and New Renderings

Nouvelle Apartments Exterior Nearly Complete

It’s always fun to watch the progress in construction at Nouvelle Apartments. The 27-story high rise is a prominent feature from the Silver Line, the Beltway, and Route 123. What will ultimately make the project a success or failure will be its inter-relation with the surrounding neighborhood and street level, but one can still appreciate the architecture […]

Placemaking Street Banners Installed in Tysons

It takes a lot to turn a suburban sprawl mess into an urban community. Some changes are massive, like major transit connections or mixed use developments that take years to be completed. Others are tiny and on their own can be seen as unimportant, but without these hundreds of incremental smaller steps we only end […]

Tower Cranes Are Up On the Future Tallest Building In the DC Metro Area

It’s happening outside of DC, right here in Tysons, at the Capital […]

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 […]
