There has been a lot of discussion, and perhaps even partial agreement on the part of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, that interim construction and pop up retail would be a good fit for properties adjacent to Tysons Metro Stations until which time more permanent construction replaces it. There are a myriad of concepts […]

As mentioned previously this week some new construction has begun around Tysons Mall, adjacent to Tysons Tower. In fact this is all the same massive project, and could be a signal that Macerich is not only moving forward with an office and residential building, but also the hotel component of the project located on the […]

I’ve been a fan of Joshua James since the Fields and Floods album in 2007 where he mixed folk music with a unique dystopic sound and lyrics. When I saw he was playing at Jammin Java I knew it would be a professional show and experience. The bands performance did not disappoint a crowd who […]

Today around the corner; There is some construction now occurring in the vicinity of Building 3 of Tysons Tower (at the AMC entrance of the Mall). Building 3 is located in front of Neisha Thai, in the surface parking lot, and it was assumed that Macerich would continue using that as a parking swing space […]

Twenty-Three buildings, 8.5 million square feet of residential, office, and retail space. These aren’t the statistics for Reston Town Center, which is currently about half this size, but Scotts Run Station. Cityline Partners has returned to Fairfax County for their second and likely final rezoning in Tysons with the goal of attaining a green light […]

This past weekend the Washington Post ran a very well formed story by Corinne Reilly (not surprising as she is a very talented local reporter) about both the complications and benefits coming from the opening of Silver Line in Tysons. She portrayed a very fair view of how more people (not the way they travel) […]
