The last time we visited the new office building under construction within MITRE’s growing Tysons campus the future 14-story structure wasn’t much more than an excavated pit for the underground parking garage. The project is part of the Scotts Run Station rezoning by Cityline, but unlike other office buildings in Northern Virginia being built speculatively, this one is meant to help consolidate MITRE into a fully metro accessible hub.
The building has come a long way since that time, with vertical construction in full swing heading into the winter. The project has a longer anticipated completion date than other similar sized buildings, likely a cause of specialized design needs for the end client. Construction is expected to be completed June 2016, by which time it will be joined by a near complete Garfield Parcel project (also by Cityline). At this rate Scotts Run Station may see construction on a third, possibly mixed use, building in the neighborhood before final delivery of MITRE Building 4.
We’ll keep an eye on construction as it enters a more interesting period and the building takes shape.
