I would think that Petco would not bother to open a shop in Reston if it is going to get kicked out in a few years. Redeveloping the space and moving in all the equipment probably requires several years to make back the initial investment cost. A company the size of Petco will have done its homework before opening a store.<br /><br />Also, my understanding is that Harris Teeters will stay, since they own their space outright. Well they share a wall with Staples. Does Teeters own the Staples space? <br /><br />Any idea about parking near Teeters? They may own the building, but I don't know whether they own the parking lot. So they could try to stay and then lerner could shut down the lot for development. Without parking, they could be forced out. <br /><br />Are these yearly rents or multi-year rental contracts? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-59776658062930939832012-06-21T19:17:53.343-04:002012-06-21T19:17:53.343-04:00I just pray that Mexico's reverse Fast and Fur...I just pray that Mexico's reverse Fast and Furious opoeration in the U.S., you know, Mexico's top secret operation that sets up so-called Mexican restaurant chains in high income areas of the country that have a faux Mexican food loving population that is ironically opposed to any and all immigration reforms, isn't adversely effected by the proposed development plans. I'd hate to see Reston's On The Border shut down by the BATF in order to clear out space for a high rise.Mean Daddy Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-11846798111399549482012-06-21T14:15:41.808-04:002012-06-21T14:15:41.808-04:00As for the above comment, you do gotta love the fi...As for the above comment, you do gotta love the fine copyediting going on these days at the Washington ComPost. The arrow icon indicating this project on its What's Going Where page points directly to the word Reston, yet they label it Vienna. Think this is the former church property across the street from Hunter Woods shopping center, which that church planned at least in part as affordable housing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-32473174195067262212012-06-21T12:22:57.208-04:002012-06-21T12:22:57.208-04:00Looks like there is a new development project prop...Looks like there is a new development project proposed for South Reston; though the WaPo is listing it as Vienna. 2222 Colts Neck Road, Vienna. <br /><br />Site plan for 210 multifamily units on 4.33 acres zoned PRC (Planned Residential Community), at 2222 Colts Neck Rd.

Perhaps not for the developer but certainly for the neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-71926484636497159162012-06-21T08:19:17.755-04:002012-06-21T08:19:17.755-04:00As long as the developers don't touch the McTa...As long as the developers don't touch the McTacoHut (McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) on the corner of Weihle and Sunset Hills I am okay with it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
