Reston Town Center to Get Facelift

Boston Properties will begin a multimillion dollar facelift for its Reston Town Center development this month, the first comprehensive renovations since it opened in the early-1990s.

Plans released in promotion materials include the rehabilitation of the Fountain and Plaza Areas. Sasaki Associates, among original members of the Reston Town Center architecture team, will lead renovations. Additions will include fire pits, an expansion for more flexibility during events, a deck and stage for events and performances, and multiple outdoor seating areas. The Fountain Plaza will keep its Mercury Fountain, get new landscaping, and more seating, including stadium-style structures and tables and chairs. The pavilion work is scheduled to be completed by early fall. Work in the fountain area will start in May and be done by fall as well. The 4-million-square-foot Reston Town Center now has more than 50 retailers and 30 restaurants, more than 2,000 residences, 3 million square feet of office space, a hotel and multi-screen movie theater. Fogo de Chao has signed a lease for a restaurant at Reston Town Center. CACI International recently opened its new headquarters there.
