In order to reduce congestion and improve walkability and connectivity in the area, the Fairfax County Planning Commission created the "Tysons Corner Urban Center Comprehensive Plan", an outline for the urbanization of Tysons in conjunction with the opening of the Silver Line.
As one of four Metro stations within the identified locale, the station is the focal point of one of the transit-oriented development schemes in the plan.
According to the Commission's outline, the area bounded by Westpark Drive, International Drive, Route 123, Route 7 and the Capital Beltway will be designated as the Tysons Central 7 District and contain high-density residential and commercial mixed-use development.

The plan envisions two major subdistricts, the North and South Tysons Central subdistricts, along with additional satellite subareas near the edges of the planning district.
The North Tysons Central subdistrict is to be anchored by the Tysons Galleria and has been revised to handle a maximum of 6.8 million square feet (630,000 m²) of developable space in conjunction with better pedestrian access and improved street grid connectivity.
Buildings heights within the North Tysons Central subdistrict will reach up to 400 ft (122 m), among the highest in the metropolitan area.

Similarly, the South Tysons Central subdistrict is centered around Tysons Corner Center and has been upzoned for nearly 6 million square feet (560,000 m²) of mixed-use space.
New developments will be concentrated on the south side of Tysons Corner station and can reach 350 ft (107 m), with the possibility of density bonuses allowing growth to 400 ft (122 m).
Additional changes are envisioned for the Towers Crescent and Watson Street subareas.
