RESTON’S BIG REMODELSun-splashed days, warm-lit nights—July in Reston feels like a long exhale. Before you scroll down to this weekend’s packed calendar, check out our 60-second walk-through of the Isaac Newton Square makeover on Insta and the full breakdown on our blog. After years of sketches, phase-one townhomes just hit Fairfax County’s desk—and the ripple effects could redefine the north side of Wiehle. Grab an iced latte, hit play, and imagine what that stretch might look like in 2030.
| A complete overhaul is slated for Isaac Newton Square in Reston off of Wiehle Ave. |
Feature Story
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT ISAAC NEWTON SQUARE REDEVELOPMENT (SO FAR)
A massive makeover is coming to the sleepy office park across the street from the McDonald’s on Wiehle Avenue. There will be more than 2,100 new homes, a hotel, public parks and even a lighted turf field. I’ve pulled together a deep dive, along with aerial renderings and a short video, to show exactly what’s planned and when construction might start. Keep scrolling to see why Isaac Newton Square could be Reston’s next hot address.
