Tweet This Post We’ve created a couple of maps for demonstrating similarities and striking differences between Arlington and Tysons, as the two are so often compared to each other. In each slider image below the aerial images have been overlain at correlating scales, with Arlington aerials encompassing the left side of the slider and Tysons […]

If you are anywhere near the intersection of Route 123 and Anderson Road in Tysons you may have noticed some new activities occurring at the abandoned (for over a year) office building that sits in front of the Commons of McLean. The property, known by its current name as the Garfield parcel, is part of […]

Our last update from the ambitious construction project occurring along the AMC entrance to Tysons Corner mall was prior to the holiday season. Since that time the crews have made enormous progress; the plaza deck is structurally prepared in the vicinity of the future Hyatt hotel, Vita residential tower is nearly 20 stories and beginning […]

If you have been around Capital One’s headquarters in Tysons recently you might have overlooked a nuance change in construction that has occurred over the past month.

The 14-story office building currently under construction along Colshire Drive at the intersection of what will in the future be Colshire Meadow Drive/Colshire Drive (god I hope they changed the proposed […]

The Board of Supervisors held a public meeting yesterday on the rezoning proposal for NV Commercial and Clydes, a parcel that exists at the cross point of Route 7 and Route 123 (what some are calling the downtown of downtown Fairfax). The plan proposes only 510,000 sf of office use, with the remaining 800,000 sf […]

Around the Corner this week; Mitre’s 14-story office expansion has begun construction on Colshire Drive. It appears the building pre-dates new comprehensive plan standards and will be a single use office (perhaps with some employee dining included). It isn’t clear if the commercial interest of additional companies moving to Tysons (CVent, Mitre Expansion, Intelsat, etc) […]
