That\u2019s \u201ca unique proposal in Fairfax County during a time when the office market is undergoing significant contractions,\u201d according to one of the filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reston Town Center has shown to be a relative success as an office hub. CBRE reports overall office vacancy in Reston at 26.9 percent while Reston Town Center was 96 percent leased as of March 31, according to <em>The Washington Business<\/em> Journal\u2019s Dan Brendel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company intends to reduce the restaurant, retail, hotel and residential uses in the second phase by about 371,000 square feet, or 23 percent and 310,000 square feet of previously approved hotel have been removed from earlier approved plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-first-expansion-since-2018\">First expansion since 2018<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubbed Reston Next, the major expansion of Reston Town Center received its most recent approval in 2018.

A park, some small retail buildings and a central open space with options for commercial, retail and\/or civic uses would sit in the middle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reston Town Center is 96 percent leased in a down market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3568,"featured_media":1004719946,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21808,11,21742,21747],"tags":[32843],"class_list":["post-1004719918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-featured","category-midatlantic","category-latest","category-office","tag-boston-properties-inc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
