- Tysons is attracting more regional traffic: The area averaged 125,000 daily out-of-market visitors in May and June—the highest post-pandemic figures outside of the holiday season
- Investor confidence is strong: The Meridian Group’s $105 million acquisition of the Tysons Central office building—located next to the Greensboro Metro station—indicates a significant long-term commitment in one of Tysons’ key gateways
