It's crazy how many buildings are about to begin construction (probably 10 or so within the next 6 months?), but I still think the scope of the residential component needs to be larger. A four-building complex with less than 700 units? That's not all that impressive.

Developers should have no max on residential FAR in Tysons; that would really speed up the process, and provide critical mass for suburb-->city much more quickly. The first key things to look for (IMO) are an active pedestrian presence after 6PM (let alone at all...) as well as the emergence of 24-hour delis/stores. An underrated method IMO, as an area isn't truly walkable unless you have something always open within a very short walking distance.
