Loudoun Economic Development unveiled plans Wednesday for Rivana at Innovation Station, a 4.4 million-square-foot mixed-use development adjacent to Metro’s Silver Line extension on a site Loudoun once proposed for Amazon.com Inc.’s HQ2 East Coast headquarters.
Rivana is the first phase of Innovation Station, a 103-acre development to be built on the border of Fairfax and Loudoun counties and connected to the planned Innovation Center Metro station, expected to open later this summer in Herndon on the Silver Line. Rivana include more than 1,950 apartments, 1.8 million square feet of office space, a 265-room hotel and an 11-acre park. It may also include a performing arts venue, according to a co-developer’s website. The property is bounded by Route 28, the Dulles Toll Road and Innovation Avenue.
Loudoun County first began planning the Innovation Station development in 2017 as part of an unsuccessful joint pitch with Fairfax County to land Amazon HQ2, which is now under construction in Arlington County.
