Tysons East Wants to Draw the “Creative Class,” and Get Them to Stay

Tysons Partnership held a panel, moderated by Holland & Knight land use attorney David Schneider, about the Tysons East neighborhood as part of the local development group's "Transforming Tysons" series.

Metro system, and the land and infrastructure exists for the development of residential accommodations, public parks and other eye-catching amenities.

Mr. Schneider said that Tysons East is "a huge experiment in suburban redevelopment at this scale that the entire world is watching."
