The Tysons Corner is a growing website, started in 2011, created to discuss the local issues specific to eastern Fairfax including the regions of Tysons Corner, Falls Church, McLean, Vienna, and Merrifield. Our goal is to provide a deeper analysis of progressive topics centered around the new urbanism concepts of a 21st century Northern Virginia. We have seen the region grow from a quiet suburban community to a cultural and economic contributor of the east coast rivaling other more established cities. The area for many years grew without direction leaving a disconnected community of micro-developments without any coordinated design concept. Our goal is to create a unified, or at times cacophonous, voice of residents and interested parties to discuss what the future vision for the region could or should be. We look to fill the questions that many have and provide the depth of coverage that is difficult for regional news publications to provide.

Our Staff Writers
Tysons Engineer (Writer/Chief Editor): Tysons Engineer is a professional licensed engineer in the Northern Virginia who has 10 years of land development experience spanning pre-boom, boom, and post boom years of the market. He has seen the best and the worst in design concepts and land use policies and has the hope that sustainable planning will find a confluence with economics and public support in our current market.
The Constant Shopper (Writer): The Constant Shopper is our first contributing writer. She believes that those who can’t find things to do in Northern Virginia aren’t looking in the right places. We hope her reviews and advice will help new residents and current residents who are stuck indoors venture out into the world.

He hopes to bring clarity to complicated development issues, so passive observers can more easily understand issues effecting our community and contribute their voice to the ongoing dialogue between residents, workers, developers, and government officials.

Can you try to find out more information about the new JBG project called Tysons West. It is under construction at the former Moore Cadillac/Hummer dealership at the corner or Rt. 7 and Westwood Center Drive near the Shereton Premiere.
Actually it’s funny that you say that, that was going to be our story this week as I have not had a chance to head over to the construction site. I hope to speak to one of the contractors and atleast determine delivery dates.
Thanks for the suggestion and keep telling us which developments you are most interested about.
There are a lot of excellent potential bike/pedestrian connections just behind the area you are discussing. Developing those would cut down on car traffic by obviating the need for many of the surrounding residents to drive to the Tysons West Metro station (It would also raise their properity values). Hope that the commercial entities there will consider contributing to the community’s health and welfare by partnering with the county to create those needed facilities!
Couldn’t agree more, Jay Klug with JGBR really seemed to get it. I was impressed in our interview on how well he understood the dynamic of multi-modal retail and residence and how investment up front on bike and pedestrian friendly design creates huge profits for lease rates and occupancy.
Hello, I am trying to find out about Tyson’s west residential developemnt project. Please let me know who I can contact to get that info. Please send me a name and a phone number.
Tahnk you,
Farah
The developer for Tysons West is JBGR, our story is located here http://thetysonscorner.com/blog/tysons-west-the-beginning-of-a-new-direction/
They are still only in the ground breaking stages of their construction which in this phase will only include the Wal-mart and none of the residential as the remainder components of the project are waiting for approval from Fairfax County. Therefore there is no one specific to speak to about it except JBGR themselves at this point.
Hello, I am trying to contact blog writers who would be interested in covering the Olympic Opening Ceremony Party at Potomic River Running store in Tysons.
They are releasing Janji, the new running apparel line that and donates its apparel’s proceeds to food and water organizations in Haiti and Kenya. They are sponsoring the Haitian Olympic runner, Moise Joesph, who has been training and working at the Tysons Potomic River Running store this past year.
Please send me and name and number of someone who would be interested in checking out this event on July 27th at 7:00pm and sharing this inspirational story.
Thank you,
Sarah
