WASHINGTON REIT’S SILVERLINE CENTER OFFERS PARKING FOR METRO RIDERS

Silverline Center, a “one of a kind” office building in Tysons, is illuminating its facade with a giant silver  “P” this week to help spread the word about its parking spaces available to Metro Silver Line commuters.

Washington REIT, which has just completed a $35 million external and internal renovation of the 526,000 square foot office complex at 7900 Westpark Drive, signed an agreement with Fairfax County last fall to offer 100 parking spaces in its underground garage to Metro commuters. Now that building renovations are complete, the company wants the public to know about their availability.

“We are pleased to provide more commuters with easy access to Metro as Tysons evolves to become a more walkable urban center,” explained Anthony Chang, Senior Director at Washington REIT. “Our newly renovated trophy class building, with office space now available for lease, is just three tenths of a mile from the Tysons Corner Metro station – a seven-minute walk.” In addition, he noted, the Fairfax Connector route 423 bus runs between Silverline Center and the Metro station.

Spaces are available on the P1 level of Silverline Center seven days a week. Commuters pay $1 for the first hour, $4 for three hours, or a daily maximum of $5. Monthly passes are available for $50. The garage is located next to the McLean Hilton, about a half mile from Tysons Galleria, with easy direct access to the Capital Beltway and Route 123.

Washington REIT is one of two private office property owners near the new Silver Line Metro stations in Tysons to offer interim parking to commuters under agreements with Fairfax County. When Silverline Center is nearly fully leased, commuter parking will no longer be available.

Silverline Center’s signature tower has a gleaming glass curtain wall façade incorporating 270 LED lights that can be programmed to match the corporate colors of the building’s lead tenants, providing unique branding opportunities. Attracting more than a million views per week from the Capital Beltway and two Silver Line Metro stations, the building makes a highly visible statement on the skyline of the “new” Tysons.  For more information, visit http://www.silverlinecenter.com or contact Sandy Haas at 703.790.5144, shaas@washreit.com.
