Reston Station represents a transit-focused, mixed-use urban employment hub situated in Reston, Virginia, Fairfax County. This development arose from a collaborative public-private venture between Fairfax County and Comstock Partners LC. It offers seamless connectivity to the Wiehle–Reston East station on the Washington Metro and incorporates an underground Metro parking garage located beneath a public plaza, which is encircled by residential and office high-rise buildings.
The subterranean parking facility was finalized during Phase 1 of the Silver Line in July 2014, aligning with the launch of the line itself. This garage stands out as the sole parking structure fully integrated into any Phase 1 expansion station. After the Metro station became operational, construction commenced on buildings surrounding the plaza. Upcoming developments envision additional residential, commercial office, hotel, and retail spaces complementing the existing plaza and Metro station.
Development
Spanning over , Reston Station is planned to include a diverse mix of uses, featuring upwards of of Class A office space, roughly dedicated to retail and dining establishments, a hotel with more than 200 rooms, and nearly 900 upscale residential units. The Metro Facility supports commuters with a kiss-and-ride area, a transit bus depot containing 10 bays, 2,300 parking spots, and a secure bicycle storage room. Vertical access points connect users to Reston Station Plaza and a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Dulles Toll Road, linking directly to the Metro station positioned in the highway median.
Constructing the Metro garage was one of the most extensive projects of its type east of the Mississippi River, involving excavation exceeding 500,000 cubic yards of earth and over one million labor hours.
In 2018, Fairfax County approved an additional north of Reston Station Boulevard—originally named "Reston Station Promenade." Comstock initiated construction on this segment in 2021 under the new designation "Reston Row," which incorporates plans for a JW Marriott hotel aimed at expanding hospitality options on-site.
Reston Metro Plaza
Since June 2014, the Reston Metro Plaza has been developed atop the Reston Station Metro Facility next to the Silver Line Metro Station. It serves as a focal point within the broader Reston Station district. The plaza is designed to host five buildings combining office spaces, residences, hotel accommodations, and retail outlets interconnected by public civic areas intended for year-round community engagement. Initial efforts concentrated on erecting a high-rise apartment tower. Although Comstock initially intended to phase office building construction based on tenant commitments to reduce risk exposure, they proceeded with building three office towers in 2015 without pre-leased tenants and successfully secured leases for all by 2019.
Reston Row
In 2020, Comstock expanded its footprint by acquiring property between Sunset Hills Road and Reston Station Boulevard to establish the "Reston Row District." This development phase comprises four structures: a JW Marriott hotel, 90 condominium units, 350 apartment residences, and two office towers arranged around a 1.2-acre landscaped park. Construction began in 2021 on the initial phase—consisting of the hotel and condominiums—with an expected completion date set for 2024.
