Introduction
Tysons Future is a visionary and unique project that combines a tremendously successful super-regional
shopping center with a transit-oriented urban development and is anticipated to become a model for smart growth. The
proposed plans for Tysons Future have the potential to transform Tysons Corner into a sustainable metropolitan community
defined by its emphasis on connectivity, alternative transportation and quality of life.
This cohesive pedestrian-scale community emphasizes the ability to easily move between open spaces, public venues and
other uses within the project. Improved bus and shuttle access, new pedestrian walkways, additional bicycle paths and the
new Metrorail station also will ensure convenient access to greater Tysons Corner.
Timing
Tysons Future is a multi-phase development that will take 10-15 years to complete.
Size
In all, 3.5 million square feet of new office, hotel, residential and retail development.
Location
The intersection of routes 7 and 123 off the Capital Beltway (I-495) in Tysons Corner, Virg.
Developer
Macerich, Santa Monica, California
