Tysons West converts a 22-story, 430,000-square-foot hotel at 8661 Leesburg Pike into 544 studio and one-bedroom apartments within Fairfax County’s Tysons Urban Center, near the Spring Hill Metro station. The adaptive reuse preserves the tower’s concrete frame and exterior massing, retains the existing 384-space underground garage, and reconfigures former hotel rooms into units mostly in the 300 to 500 square foot range. New kitchens are paired with existing bathroom plumbing to minimize structural disruption, alongside a full MEP overhaul, modernized elevators, and targeted window and envelope upgrades.
The project includes roughly 3.5 acres of publicly accessible parks and plazas, a shared-use trail along Route 7, realigned street connections, and at least 13% of units set aside as workforce housing. By reusing the existing structure rather than building new, the estimated cost is $138,000 per unit versus $300,000 or more for comparable new high-rise development in the market. The project is the first phase of a broader master plan for the 16-acre site.
