Big Tech Focus on Northern Virginia Transforming Dulles Corridor into Silicon Valley of the East

With its second phase of development set for delivery in early 2022, Metro’s $6.8 billion Silver Line, which delivered its first phase in 2014, will extend the reach of public transportation from Washington, D.C. through the Wiehle-Reston East Station (Reston Station) to Dulles Airport and Loudoun Station. The arrival of the Silver Line’s Phase II will have a substantial impact and accelerate future transit-oriented growth, further enhancing the Dulles Technology Corridor’s already strong economic fundamentals by increasing demand for office tenants seeking transit-oriented space and spurring development of walkable, transit-oriented communities such as Reston Station and Loudoun Station.

The addition of the Silver Line is projected to generate more than $300 billion into the immediate area’s economy over the next 25 years, according to the George Mason Center for Regional Analysis. Reston and Loudoun Station’s locations offer unparalleled access to the Silver Line and seamless commutes to Downtown Washington, D.C., and Dulles International Airport.
