Twenty miles west of Washington, D.C., a lively suburban development has blossomed to complement the area’s array of urban amenities. This vibrant mixed-use development’s origin story began in the early 1990s, featuring an iconic fountain and what would emerge as the heart of the community—an open-air glass pavilion. Residents and visitors never run out of things to do with more than 50 retailers, 35 restaurants, and a multi-screen cinema, all easily accessed thanks to pedestrian-friendly planning. Spectacular outdoor areas are irresistible day and night, regardless of the season, through functional designs.
