Vision for area from New Dominion to Baron Cameron is high-density, mixed-use Reston urban core.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the plans for redevelopment of Reston's Spectrum Center, ensuring that the Reston of the future will have Reston Town Center-like development from the Dulles Toll Road (and future Metrorail station) to Baron Cameron Avenue. "This plan coming in gives the community a picture of what the Town Center core will be and subsequent development that will take place," Hunter Mill Supervisor Cathy Hudgins said at the BOS public hearing. The plan for the Spectrum includes 774,879 square feet of non-residential use; 1,422 multifamily residential units (with 12 percent set aside for affordable housing) in seven new residential buildings; 38 percent open space; underground and …

Reston Association Planning and Zoning to hear from developers on vision to add hotels, condos, offices.
The Reston Association Planning and Zoning Commission will hear from the developers of Reston Spectrum Monday about its latest plan to turn the 23-acre shopping center into a mixed-use, transit-oriented development with hundreds of residences and hotel rooms. Reston Spectrum, owned by Lerner Enterprises, secured county approval of a finalized conceptual site plan in 2008 using extra density from the neighboring Reston Regional Library, which was deemed a park in 1992, allowing it to transfer density to nearby developers. The project is divided into three Land Bays (A through C). Land Bay A (north of New Dominion Parkway, south of Bowman Towne Drive, west of Reston Parkway and east of Fountain Drive) is planned for up to 546 dwelling units…

However with the developers eating up all the … more ›
