DRB Hears Latest Plan for Fairway Apartments, Reston Patch, June 22, 2011

Developer JBG Companies went before Reston Association's Design Review Board on Tuesday with new plans to redevelop the aging Fairway Apartments complex.

The two teams have been here before. For nearly two years, JBG has submitted five different plans to Reston and Fairfax County officials. The project has morphed from 951 units in four towers to 804 units on a campus of five-story buildings and townhouses.
