Boston Properties Inks 850,000 SF Lease with Fannie Mae at Reston Gateway Project

RESTON, VA. — Boston Properties Inc. has signed Fannie Mae to an 850,000-square-foot lease at its Reston Gateway project in Reston. The government-sponsored enterprise will lease the space for its new Northern Virginia hub starting in 2022. The first phase of Reston Gateway will span 1 million square feet, but the project could eventually be expanded to include up to 3.5 million square feet of mixed-use, transit-oriented development. The Washington Business Journal reports Reston Gateway could include up to 1,700 residential units, 570 hotel rooms, 200,000 square feet of retail and 1.8 million square feet of office space. The development is located adjacent to the Silver Line’s planned Reston Town Center Metro Station, which is currently under construction and slated to open in early 2020. Fannie Mae’s new national headquarters at Midtown Center in Washington, D.C. is nearing completion and is expected to open later this year.
