‘Last Premier Development Site’ in Tysons Offered for Sale

Developers seeking an alternative to the increasingly built-up Greensboro Metro station might be looking one stop north.

Dominion Square, an 18-acre site adjacent to the Spring Hill Metro station, is for sale, as first reported by the Washington Business Journal. The site, which encompasses portions of two existing redevelopment plans, has already been approved for 3.6 million square feet of mixed-use development, according to a press release (below).

Newmark Knight Frank, a real estate advisory firm, has been selected to help market the site.

The land is currently occupied by auto showrooms and sale lots, including Sheehy Infiniti of Tysons, Honda of Tysons Corner, Priority Mazda and Priority Nissan. The dealerships currently have leases that can be terminated to make way for the development when the project is ready to start construction.
