Major Changes are Coming to Tysons!

Major Changes are Coming to Tysons!

The long-term plan for the Tysons corridor is for it to become the ‘new downtown’ of Fairfax County. City planners have the goal of up to 100,000 residents and 200,000 jobs by 2050. On a macro-level the plan is:

  • Land more than a quarter mile from a Metro station should devote 75% of the space for residential purposes
  • Land inside the quarter of a mile radius should have 65% devoted to office space

Below is a map of all the major residential projects that are in the pipeline based on the latest information that is currently available. Combined they will bring just shy of 25,000 residential units to the triangular shaped expanse of land roughly bordered by Route 7, I-495, and the Dulles Toll Road. Two of the largest clusters will be around Spring Hill Metro (with over 10,000 residential units) and Scott’s Run Metro (with over 5,000 units). Since many of these haven’t even broken ground yet, the exact number of units per building may have changed (or will change) from what we could find in published information. However, the numbers should be very close to what the final count should be. You can find out information from the Tysons Partnership page as well as this Washington Post article.

 

Click on each red square to find out how many units are planned for that location (we have also included the same information down below). We plotted a map point for each building, except when it came to the Scott’s Run development. Since there are 21 buildings planned for those three parcels of land we just plotted a polygon that roughly corresponds to the borders of the planned development.


Tysons Major Residential Projects:

 

• Tysons West

A total of 803 residential units, 450 hotel rooms, plus office and retail space. See more at https://www.tysonswest.com

• 7915 Jones Branch Drive

This building will have up to 400 residential units and retail space. Fairfax County government will lease 4,000 square feet in the neighboring Brunswick Building (7921 Jones Branch Drive) at no cost for ten years (the latest plan was for the Fire Marshal office to move in). The development will also have a dog park and interior courtyard. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news/2014/fairfax-approves-7915-jones-branch-drive.htm

• Capital One Campus

The 26-acre campus owned by Capital One will have 12 buildings consisting of up to 1,230 residential units, 1,000 hotel rooms, plus office and retail space. They will also develop a 30,000-square-foot community center, community park, and parking lots (some of which will be underground, others will be discreetly integrated into the above ground areas). See more here: https://www.tysonspartnership.org/projects/capital-one-development/

The two parcels of Scott’s Run South, plus the nearby Scott’s Run North total 40-acres and the current plan is to have 21 new buildings with a mix of residential, retail, office, and hotel uses. Scott’s Run South will have up to 2,172 residential units and 360 hotel rooms, while North will have up to 464 units (and no hotel). There are also plans for a trail system to join the nearby developments. See more here: https://www.tysonspartnership.org/projects/scotts-run-station/

• 1575 Anderson Road (Garfield Parcel)

Two buildings with 425 units (combined) are already under construction. Leasing expected to begin in 2016. The latest available information we could find is here: https://intysons.com/garfield-parcel-by-jlb-update-and-new-renderings/. Note, several different sources differ slightly on the exact number of units that will be available (from 425 to 445). We have posted what was on the Tysons Partnership page.

• The Commons

Up to 2,571 apartments will be added adjacent to the Scott’s Run and Garfield Parcel living areas. There will also be two office buildings for Mitre Corporation on the nearby land.

• Tysons 1

The existing Tysons 1 shopping center will have space for 1,300 residential units and a 200 room hotel added to it, in addition to office and retail space.
