Before constructing two high-rise residential buildings and a hotel in central Tysons several years from now, a developer hopes to put that land to productive interim use.
Tysons Westpark LC is seeking the Fairfax County governmentâs approval to build a 16,500-square foot âpop-upâ park and new-vehicle parking at 8401 Westpark Drive, not far east from Route 7.
The Fairfax County Planning Commission on Dec. 9 unanimously recommended that county supervisors approve the proposals. The matter is scheduled to come before the Board of Supervisors Jan. 26.
Supervisors in April 2013 rezoned the 5.32-acre site for the Westpark Plaza development, and the developer subsequently razed the former Best Western Westpark Hotel there. The property later served as a staging area for construction of a nearby development, The Boro, and now is being used for off-street commercial-vehicle parking.
