The Boro in Tysons, Virginia: An Upcoming Mixed Use Development in a New Edge City

Last week, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved the development of “The Boro”: 4.25 million square feet of apartments, offices, hotel and shops in Tysons, Virginia, adjacent to the Metro’s Silver Line Greensboro Station. The plan calls for building “dense, mixed-use, transit-oriented developments where people can live, work, shop and play.” Included in the plan:

  • Three office towers of nearly 2 million square feet
  • Five apartment buildings featuring about 2,000 units
  • Retail space of up to 430,000 square feet, including a 70,000-square-foot Whole Foods Grocery – the largest in the region
  • A hotel and movie theater

In conjunction with the mixed use focus, seven parks totaling over 4 acres will be laid out, and a 19,000-square-foot public library will be designed and built for Fairfax County by the developer, Meridian.
