Reston Town Center North, a 48-acre neighborhood, will go before the Fairfax County Planning Commission later this month.

The neighborhood is planned for about 1,170 homes, a $58 million regional library and a large central park. Plans are expected to be presented to the Comission on July 22. A Board of Supervisors hearing follows in September.

The rezoning marks a turning point for a project that Fairfax County and Inova Health System have been working on for over a decade. The site sits between Baron Cameron Avenue and New Dominion Parkway, bounded by Town Center Parkway and Fountain Drive, just one mile from the Reston Town Center Metro station.

A land swap between the county and Inova was expected to close by mid-2026, putting county-owned land along the district's west side and Inova's land along the east. The county's project page was updated in June, and the rezoning is moving forward, though no public record has confirmed the swap.

Hunter Mill District Supervisor Walter Alcorn identified the library and the relocated Embry Rucker Community Shelter as the priorities at a June 23 public session. County planning documents list the new Reston Regional Library as the first building to go up. It will be paid for with $58 million in existing county bonds already set aside in the capital budget, according to the Reston Letter's reporting.

"The library and new shelter are a priority," Alcorn said at the session. "The new library is expected to be the first project in RTCN."

Beyond the library, the plan calls for a health and human services building, a recreation center with an athletic field, and space for a possible new public school on the north side. Inova's portions would include housing, retail, medical offices and commercial space. An Inova representative said at that session that the full buildout could take as many years as Reston Town Center itself took to complete.

The roughly 1,170 homes would join the Reston Association and pay its annual fees, according to the RA's rezoning page updated in June 2026. The Reston Association Board of Directors approved a formal comment letter on the project by unanimous vote in February, raising concerns about affordable housing levels, green building standards, and the athletic field surface.

The site is reachable from the Dulles Toll Road, Fairfax County Parkway and Reston Parkway, with the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station two miles away. Interior streets will have wide sidewalks and bike lanes. The North County Governmental Center, home to the Reston District Police Station and the Hunter Mill supervisor's office, already sits within the site.

Residents can submit comments through the county's land-use process ahead of the July 22 Planning Commission hearing and the September 15 Board of Supervisors vote.
