Tysons Corner Land Use
June 26, 2008
Northern Virginia NAIOP Members had lunch on Thursday, June 26 to discuss the Tysons Corner Land Use Task Force. The Task Force is finalizing its recommended revisions to the Tysons Corner Comprehensive Plan which anticipates the arrival of rail through Tysons and out to Dulles Airport and Loudoun County. The recommendations and ultimate changes approved by the Board of Supervisors will significantly affect the future of Tysons Corner and the interests of many property owners.
This lunch was an opportunity for NAIOP Members to learn more about the direction that the recommendations are headed. Presentations on the Task Force work were made by NAIOP members, Stu Mendelsohn, a partner at Holland & Knight and a former Fairfax County Supervisor, and Keith Turner, a Senior Vice President at WEST*GROUP. Turner chairs the Transportation Subcommittee of the Task Force and Mendelsohn has been an active participant on the Implementation Subcommittee of the Task Force. Both of these areas are critical to the successful transformation of 1,700 acres of Tysons Corner into a vibrant, 24-7, urban downtown. Members learned about what is envisioned and how it will become a reality.

Network Luncheon
HOT Lanes are Coming
June 18, 2008
On Wednesday, June 18, Northern Virginia NAIOP’s luncheon program focused on the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) I-95 and I-495 HOV/Bus/HOT lanes project. Ronaldo (Nick) Nicholson, VDOT’s regional transportation director for the HOV/Bus/HOT lanes megaproject, was the featured speaker. ING Clarion Partners hosted the luncheon at 2980 Fairview Park Drive, which provided an excellent view of the Beltway.
Under a public private partnership, Capitol Beltway Express LLC, will build two HOV/Bus/HOT lanes in each direction from Springfield to just north of the Dulles Toll Road. The project includes adding carpool ramps from the I-95 HOV lanes to the Beltway HOV lanes. The project is expected to begin in the spring of 2008 and to be completed by late 2012. Fluor-Transurban has proposed a separate project which would add an HOV/Bus/HOT lane to the I-95/I-395 HOV lanes and build two new HOV lanes on I-95 between the Route 234 and Massaponax exits. This project could begin in 2009.
For both projects, tolls will be based on demand and will vary throughout the day according to real time traffic conditions. This will manage the number of cars in the HOV/Bus/HOT lanes and keep them free of congestion. The project is designed to provide congestion relief to all drivers, keep traffic moving on the Capitol Beltway, and reduce cut through traffic on neighborhood streets.

METRO is coming = Tysons better than ever!
September 25, 2007
Why are so many Tysons executives excited about the future? Because of work taking place in the backrooms and boardrooms of Northern Virginia to ensure that Tysons Corner will be better than ever with the arrival of METRO. Leaders are working in and with the community to roll out carefully developed plans to ensure a continued dynamic business climate.
On September 25, 2007, Northern Virginia NAIOP helped to answer these questions and more. Moderated by Chuck Cope, who is part of the Macerich team that is overseeing the major expansion of Tysons Corner Center, Chuck presented a brief overview of Tysons Future. Our speakers illustrated the planning, research and community input brought to this extension of METRO. Marcia McAllister focused on project specifics: scheduling, stations, utility relocation, and anticipated Federal funding. Richard Stevens discussed and illustrated how the transportation changes will be managed to ensure that Tysons is “open for business” during this extension of the subway construction. The panelists also discussed the various features of the Transportation Management Plan and the coordination between the private sector, Fairfax County DOT and MWAA.

"The Times They Are A-Changin"

Trammell Crow, CBRE, Beacon, Blackstone, EOP. Mergers and acquisitions. What’s happened this year and why? What do these changes indicate for our Northern Virginia real estate marketplace?

Outlining his perspective and some ideas of what indicators to watch was Robert Pinkard, Managing Director, Cassidy and Pinkard Colliers. He answered questions like: What do these changes indicate about the regional market? How does the national market affect Northern Virginia?
What will be the rate of change moving forward? What will our market look like 2 to 5 years in the future? Marty Almquist, Senior Vice President, Cassidy and Pinkard Colliers examined market statistics. Both clarified swirling questions such as: What might a downturn offer? What are possible spin-offs? What is cyclical and what is new?

Navigating the Entitlement Process
June 27, 2007
What is Entitlement? Northern Virginia NAIOP’s June 27 program helped developers, builders and others understand the nuances of the zoning and wetlands permitting processes. This luncheon presented an overview of the Northern Virginia markets.
What is required? Local, State and the Federal governments are intimately involved in your deals and the restrictions imposed which impact your timing, costs, value and return. Our speakers illustrated the various levels of the entitlement process, giving examples along the way and highlighting the pivotal roles that politics, citizens and the media play.
What are examples? Two veteran, private sector speakers talked about some of their major projects, their experiences and the lessons learned. They discussed the involvement of government regulators, elected officials and local citizens as well as expounded on the private and financial consequences of these reviews.
What are our future expectations for the development environment given the population outlook of the next 20 years? The entitlement process that is in place today will have a meaningful impact on your bottom line tomorrow!
