Bringing a 1-Million-Square-Foot Mixed-Use Development to Tysons, Virginia

The Boro is a new 1-million-square-foot mixed-use, metro-oriented development including residential, office, and retail space.  The project included 800,000 square feet of market-rate apartments; 80,000 square feet of core and shell retail space; 75,000 square feet of coordinated shell design for a Whole Foods grocery store, and 50,000 square feet of core-and-shell office space. 

The development includes an expansive outdoor space equipped with landscaping and irrigation systems, a swimming pool, gathering spaces, and rooftop terraces.

Our MEP work supports all of those spaces and includes efficient lighting and control systems and a mixture of high-efficiency water source heat pump systems and variable refrigerant flow systems.  

The project achieved LEED Silver certification.
