Around the Corner today; Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling is raising awareness about budget cuts hitting the bike coordinator position at Fairfax County. It is a disturbing irony that we now have plenty of money to waste of bad road widening projects (like pointlessly widening Route 123 within Tysons for $22 million) but have no […]

Developers, urbanists, and economists alike are about to see a large scale experiment in the laws of supply and demand that would perk the ears of Adam Smith himself. The DC metropolitan region faces a cost of living crisis which is making it nearly impossible for new middle income residents to find housing anywhere but […]

Living in Park Crest I’ve had the opportunity to watch Clark Builders Group’s Ovation Park Crest constructed from excavation to completion. The 300-unit high rise began construction around the same time as Greystar’s Ascent and both ended up completing construction roughly around the same time this winter.

The entire idea of the tax was faulty in that it essentially doubled the tax on hybrid sedans while lowering the […]

Since last we wrote on the tri-tower construction occurring at the AMC entrance of Tysons Corner Center signficant progress has been made on the project and a new name has been given to the neighborhood, now known as One Tysons (or Tysons One Place depending on which website you believe). Tysons Tower, the office building, […]
