New Condo Spotlight: Midtown Reston Town Center
An Occasional Series Highlighting New Condo Developments
Published Wednesday, February 28, 2007
By: Rebecca Shillenn
What: Midtown Reston Town Center
Where: 11990 Market St., Reston
Number of Units: 293
Prices: One-bedroom units start in the low $500,000s; penthouses with two or three bedrooms go for more than $1 million.
Unit Choices: Choose from two buildings: the 21-story Midtown Towers or the six-story Midtown Lofts. The towers include penthouses and traditional units, and the lofts offer modern condos with open floor plans.
Luxurious Touches: Hardwood floors, six-foot soaking tubs, Kohler fixtures, and nine-foot ceilings. Ceilings are ten feet in penthouses, eleven feet in the lofts. Penthouses and lofts come with bamboo or maple flooring; basic condos have oak.
Building Amenities: Each building has a resident lounge with a fireplace and gaming tables. The Lofts building has a media room with movie-theater seating for 18. There’s also a sports club with massage rooms, an outdoor heated pool, and an artists’ workshop.
Unique Offering: The towers sport a demonstration kitchen that seats about 22 people.
Last Chance: These condos are already 80 percent sold—about 25 penthouses and 15 regular condos are still available.
Expected Delivery: March for the towers, summer for the lofts.
Drawback: The closest Metro stop is the West Falls Church station, at least 20 minutes away by shuttle ride. Plans for the Dulles Metro extension include a stop less than a mile away—but that won’t be built at least 2015.

Actually this comment, " The closest Metro stop is the Virginia Square–GMU station, which is in Arlington more than five miles away. " is incorrect. West Falls Church is the closest metro station, and Reston Town Center is serviced by an express bus to that station. Also, Arlington is more than five miles from Reston.

Get the metro and your price valuation will go through the roof. I cannot believe more people in Reston are not demanding they build the metro faster. It is a travesty to say the least.
