Groundbreaking Begins for 32-Story Lumen at Tysons Apartments

McLEAN, VA -- LMC recently announced the groundbreaking of Lumen at Tysons, a mixed-use apartment community to be located in the heart of Tysons. The community will feature 32 stories, with 398 apartment homes and more than 11,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, the company said.

Lumen at Tysons was recently unveiled during a groundbreaking ceremony on the construction site. Steve Saville, project lead for architect DCS Design, Sharon Bulova, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, and Michael Caplin, president of Tysons Partnership, shared their thoughts about the impact the community will have on the neighborhood.

“Lumen at Tysons will offer a suite of unparalleled amenities on multiple levels throughout the high-rise, creating both a visual aesthetic and a true cutting-edge experience for our residents,” said Stuart Cain, LMC’s vice president of development for the Mid-Atlantic Northeast, about the community, which could be open for first move-ins as early as Fall of 2018. “We believe the thoughtful design, combined with the LMC’s hospitality-driven services, will make the community the finest in the surrounding area and one with long-term, sustainable value.”

Lumen at Tysons, built in conjunction with TEGNA Construction, will be located adjacent to the Greensboro Metro Station and flanked by Naturel’s Tysons Water Lillies murals. Lumen at Tysons’ 32 stories will rise over the next two years, the company said. Once complete, its apex will boast the highest elevation in Fairfax County, the company noted.

Apartment interiors will feature high-end appliances and finishes with help from Faulkner Design. Land Design will assist with the landscaping for the community and the civil engineer for the development is Vika. The community’s retail outlets are still to be determined.
