Plans for the expansion of Metro’s Silver Line are driving development years ahead of the anticipated opening of the next stations. The JBG Companies recently broke ground on VY / Reston Heights, a 385-unit apartment community that is part of the mixed-use neighborhood known as Reston Heights.
VY will include 89,000 square feet of retail space. The Reston Heights district has several existing properties along Sunrise Valley Drive on the south side of the Dulles Toll Road, including two hotels, a condo and two office buildings.
The eight-acre community is a half-mile from the future Reston Town Center Metro station, which is expected to open in 2020. The community is within a few minutes’ drive to the Wiehle Avenue Metro station, which is already open, and to Dulles International Airport.

Reston Heights is anticipated to include a public plaza with outdoor dining, a play area and an amphitheater for events.
The five-story apartment building, designed by Cunningham Quill Architects, was inspired by the original 1960s development at Lake Anne Village in Reston, a modern European-modeled community. The mixed-use buildings and adjacent parking garage will have tall natural wood beams that echo the vertical designs of Reston’s first buildings at Lake Anne.
Residences will include junior one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments. Forty-six of the units will be workforce affordable homes. Rents have yet to be confirmed.
VY / Reston Heights is expected to open in late 2017 for residents and in early 2018 for retailers.
