Quick Answer: What Is Changing in Reston?
Last updated October 2026
Quick answer: most new building in Reston is happening near the Silver Line stations, where Fairfax County’s plan directs growth. In 2026 the county approved the Reston Town Center North rezoning (September 15), a Lake Anne plan change for a larger Reston Community Center facility (September 29) and a second phase of Lofts at Reston Station (July 14). The most debated proposal is townhouses on part of Reston National Golf Course, which is still under review.
How to read the stages: proposed (application filed), plan amendment adopted (the county’s long-range plan allows it), rezoning approved (the zoning decision is made), under construction, and stalled. An approval is not a building permit; construction can be years away.
