Fairfax County officials have supported another proposal to boost the housing portfolio of Kingstowne Towne Center.
At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved developer BXP’s application to convert an existing office building into a 280-unit housing complex.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has approved plans for redeveloping the 40-acre Prosperity Business Campus, located between the Mosaic District and Dunn Loring Metro station, in Merrifield.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday (Sept. 15) approved the framework for a major future redevelopment of the 46.6-acre Reston Town Center (RTC) North, allowing the county and Inova Health to move forward with long-sought plans for mixed-use and public facilities.
The action paves the way for the eventual construction of about 1,000 units of new housing, retail and office space. The redevelopment will also deliver a central park, a new recreation center, and replacements for Reston’s regional library and Embry Rucker Community Shelter, which would be accompanied by supportive housing.
Two developers are hoping to build a significant amount of new housing on a 41-acre area in Centreville that is currently home to four office buildings.

Another office-to-residential redevelopment is coming to Fairfax County.

Dozens more townhomes could soon boost Reston’s housing supply after two different projects received final approvals from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in recent weeks.
At its meeting on Aug. 25, the board unanimously approved an amendment to the development plan for Isaac Newton Square that will allow 24 townhomes on a 1.5-acre site in the northeast corner of the office park in place of a previously anticipated 180-unit multifamily residential building.
Later this month, Fairfax County officials will consider a proposal to bring more housing to the Kingstowne Towne Center near Alexandria.

The owner of the vacant Sheraton Tysons Hotel is rethinking its plans for the property, which has been sitting untouched more than two years after Fairfax County leaders approved a conversion.
JBG Tysons Hotel LLC, a fund managed by Bethesda-based developer JBG Smith, still wants to turn the approximately 7.66-acre site at 8661 Leesburg Pike near the Spring Hill Metro station into housing, but instead of retaining the hotel’s shell, the Tysons West developer is now seeking the county’s support for a full demolition.
