Reston Station

Reston Station is a transit-oriented, mixed-use, urban employment center in the community of Reston in Fairfax County, Virginia. It is being developed through a public-private partnership between Comstock Partners LC and Fairfax County. The development, which provides access to the Wiehle–Reston East Metro station, consists of a subterranean Metro parking facility beneath a public plaza surrounded by office and residential high-rise buildings.

The initial phase of Reston Station delivered as part of Phase 1 of the Metro Silver Line in July 2014, on the same day that Metro's Silver Line began service. It is the only parking structure and transit-oriented development fully integrated with any of the Phase 1 expansion stations. After the opening of the Metro station, construction commenced on the buildings located on the plaza. Future development with residential, office, hotel, and retail uses is planned for the property north of the existing plaza.

Development
Reston Station will integrate more than 1.3 million square feet of mixed-use development consisting of more than 500,000 square feet of Class A office space, approximately 100,000 square feet of restaurants, shops, and service-oriented retailers, a 200-plus room hotel, and approximately 900 luxury residences.  The Reston Station Metro Facility includes a commuter kiss and ride facility, a 10-bay transit bus depot, 2,300 commuter parking spaces, and a large secure bike room. Vertical transportation through the garage and the bus level leads visitors to Reston Station Plaza, which connects directly to the pedestrian overpass via which passengers cross the westbound lanes of the Dulles Toll Road to enter the Metro station situated in the median.

The Reston Station Metro garage facility construction project was one of the biggest of its type east of the Mississippi River. It required the excavation of over 500,000 cubic yards of dirt and over one million man hours to construct.

Development of an additional 1.3 million square feet on 8.4 acres north of Reston Station Boulevard ("Reston Station Promenade") was approved April 10, 2018. Comstock plans to begin construction on this next phase in early 2020.

Reston Station Plaza
The Reston Station Plaza is currently being developed directly above the Reston Station Metro Facility and adjacent to the Silver Line Metro Station. Once completed, it will form the core of the greater Reston Station neighborhood; it will include multiple buildings connected by civic spaces dedicated to public activities throughout the year. Five office and residential buildings, retail spaces, and a hotel are planned. Comstock began construction on June 1, 2014 and stated that construction of the five buildings would be phased and some or all would not begin without tenants signing leases which would reduce risk and ensure costs are recouped.
