Tysons II Center I Tysons Corner, VA
Guillermo Aguilar, AIA led the architecture and urban plan development of this Homart Development initiative in Tysons Corner. The scope of work included master planning, architectural design, land and building construction as well as interior design and tenant improvements. This 117-acre master planned development contains a 900,000 SF high-fashion retail center, two hotels with 1,550 rooms (including a Ritz Carlton), and ten office buildings with 3.1 million GSF.
This project also developed the preliminary architecture and planning for the Washington Metro extension to Tysons Corner via the Silver Line. The area is home to Tysons Corner Center – the largest shopping mall conglomerate in the state and in the Baltimore-Washington area – with two upscale shopping centers.
Each weekday, Tysons Corner draws 55,000 shoppers from around the region, and the planned extension will create additional access points for residents. City planners envision that up to 200,000 jobs and 100,000 residents will be established in Tysons Center in the coming decades.
