APAH Breaks Ground on 500+ Unit Tysons Project

The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing has officially broken ground on The Exchange at Spring Hill Station (formerly Dominion Square). This 516-unit transit-oriented development is located in the heart of Tysons, VA, and will host a 30,000 sqft community center operated by Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services.

"This groundbreaking marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing affordable housing options at-scale in an area of incredible opportunity," said APAH President and CEO Carmen Romero. “The significance of this project is not lost on us—bringing the first 100% affordable deal to Tysons, a thriving, rapidly expanding community. The residents who will call The Exchange home will have access to a vibrant and rapidly growing community full of opportunity and resources. Yes, where you build matters, but who you build for matters just as much."

When opened, the development will consist of 112 one-bedroom units, 306 two-bedroom units, and 98 three-bedroom units with wide-ranging affordability. The breakdown of the units by area median income is as follows: 30% AMI for 100 units; 50% AMI for 125 units; 60% AMI for 175 units; and 70% AMI for 116 units. Additionally, there are 100 project-based voucher units within the building. The on-site community center features a basketball court, fitness center, and county-run programming, all free and open to the public. The project is also a 10-minute walk to grocery and retail outlets, as well as the WMATA Spring Hill Metro station, providing extraordinary access to economic opportunity and mobility.
