Not exactly sure how this news passed us, but Herndon will be getting a brand new town center. It

From what I have heard, construction may begin in Tyson's Corner, but as you say, we shall have to see it before believing that it will actually come to pass. For the sake of the region, I hope this is consummated quickly. it will be a long road in any event, but this is a vital step toward the integration of Tyson's Corner into the region at large. I remain guardedly hopeful.

Whenever I'm on the beltway I see that project and wonder what/where it is (Google Earth hasn't been updated since it was built).
I guess this belongs here, but I finally found out the plan for the redevelopment of the Carlyle area, around the DoD buildings in Alexandria. Its called "Hoffman Town Center", and looks absolutely amazing, very modern, and the first phase of the project, the parking garage, has already been completed.Website: http://www.hoffmantowncenter.com/
Also, the website for MRP Realty has many new projects i've never heard of, like Lakeview at University Center. And thankfully, they're developing part of the Potomac Yards site, instead of Pulte homes, which is doing on the other section.
In other news,
Park Center in Manassas Park is currently u/c, I had no idea it even existed until I saw it. I found a rendering, but I don't know where I got it anymore, so heres a small image:
There are currently two strip centers under construction in Manassas, Shops at Signal Hill, and Evergreen Terrace. And also, the Hastings Marketplace lifestyle center is u/c.

I remember looking at that rendering too, a long time ago... Im pretty sure I saw somewhere that the Dominion project was redesigned into "The Paramount", which was built a couple of years ago.
Heres the finished product, the massing and some parts of the design look similar to the Dominion proposal:
I think you're right, (at least I hope) because that rendering was the prettiest building I've seen.

Is this one of the Parc Reston towers that you mentioned or a different project?
It's a differnet project, this one is at the Reston Town Center, directly across the street from SoMa.

Okay, I promise this is the last post in a row. This is called the Dominion at the Reston Town Center and is 15 stories, and only proposed.

On another note, this Democracy Tower is almost like the Signature Tower that never got built (9 garage floors + 10 office floors = 19 floors of Signature Tower). And while I was at Emporis looking this up, I found out the 2, 16 story Parc Reston towers are supposed to start construction this year. I wonder if the housing slump will affect this?

Nice plans about the Spectrum. Judging from the diagram it looks like they're making up for the low FARs with lots of (too much) open space. Or is that "open space" parking garages? Either way I'd prefer the buildings where shorter, but took up more space.
Also I'm 99% postive the Democracy tower will be built totaly on top of the garage. I've been to the top of the garage, and all the spaces are painted, and besides the floors aren't level, which would create a horrendous office enviroment. The below image, taken about a year ago shows what I mean.

Tysons Mall project may scale back
When developer Macerich won approval a year ago to convert the Tysons Corner Center into an urban core of office, retail and living space, the decision was hung on one major contingency: the successful construction of an adjacent Metrorail line.Now that the rail-to-Dulles project, which would have added four new stations in Tysons, has all but collapsed, Macerich may be forced to turn to a scaled-back plan it quietly passed as a fallback.
It could mean a 3.5 million-square-foot mall expansion touted as the premier example of

Thanks, one of my tricks is shooting in the few hours before and after sunset. Plus taking lots of pictures, even of the same subject, and only selecting the best one.
Another of JBGs faux urban projects, this one is Woodland Park in Herndon. It features a Haris Teeter, cleverly disguises a parking garage and pretty much follows new urbanism standards. It's a five minute walk from the future Herndon Monroe station.

More from the Reston Heights project, this is the Mercer Condominums. Seen to the far right in the photo above

I am extremely frustrated with this current administration, but hopefully, if we get a new, more mass transit-friendly administration, they could finally approve the project and get it going....I really hope its not 15 years of planning and $140 million down the drain...

Reston Town Center Accenture building

Well Tysons is a huge retail base - the 2nd largest after New York City on the East Coast - and the 15 mile area around it has a huge median income, so retailers want to be their.

The Reston Heights plan hasn't really gotten past the concept stage. On the 28th their concept plan will be rejected or approved, if it's approved we can expect more details including renderings.
