Market context & project rationale
The redevelopment of 1760 Business Center Drive is driven by the continued evolution of the Reston‑Herndon corridor into a transit‑oriented, mixed‑use district. The 5.3‑acre site sits less than three miles from Reston Town Center - home to major employers such as Google, Microsoft and Bechtel - and within a half‑mile of the Silver Line Metro, providing quick access to both D.C. and regional job centers.
Regional demand fundamentals reinforce the opportunity: Fairfax County remains one of the strongest job markets in Northern Virginia, and the expansion of the Silver Line has dramatically increased the desirability of residential communities along the corridor. As workers prioritize shorter commutes and transit‑served neighborhoods, Reston and Herndon have emerged as natural alternatives to more expensive urban submarkets.
The project aligns with a broader initiative to reposition an aging office park into a more walkable, mixed‑use neighborhood. New housing, townhomes, retail, hospitality and improved public spaces are planned to transform the area’s character and better serve today’s workforce. By replacing an underutilized commercial site with modern, Class A multifamily housing, the development helps meet regional supply needs while contributing to the district’s long‑term revitalization. With entitlements underway and construction targeted for Fall 2027, the project is well‑timed to capture ongoing demand in one of Northern Virginia’s most resilient, transit‑connected submarkets.
