A new beer garden in a sky park plans to open next year atop Capital One Hall.
Construction is underway on the Capital One Center — the second phase of Capital One’s campus in Tysons, which is set to be completed in 2021.
Called “The Perch,” the outdoor space on top of the parking podium and Capital One Hall — 10 stories above the ground — plans to offer interactive art sculptures, a park, activities like yoga and beer at The Perch Biergarten, according to the website.
The Perch is set to open in the fall of 2021.
The “serene village green” will join Capital One’s planned additions for the Tysons East urban campus:
- an 80,000-square-foot Wegmans grocery store
- a performing arts center with a 1,500-seat main hall and a 250-seat black box theatre
- Davio’s, a Northern Italian restaurant
- more retail in the second half of 2021
In addition to the upcoming beer hall, Capital One is looking to change a previously approved — yet unbuilt — hotel into a new office building, according to Fairfax County documents.
Capital One says that the change would allow for more open space, jobs and retailers:
Consistent with well settled planning and economic development objectives, this application presents an opportunity to further add employment opportunities and vitality at the headquarters campus in a location immediately adjacent to the McLean Metro station…
A lower level lobby and retail uses along Capital One Drive North and Scotts Crossing Road will wrap the parking garage. The approved drop-off area for the previously contemplated hotel use will be removed and replaced with public open space to enhance and activate these ground floor uses…
Additional retail use is proposed for Building 3 in the location of the previously approved garage entrance that will be shifting eastward.
