Here's what I love about this event: it's not stuffy. You're not standing around pretending to detect "notes of oak and leather" while someone judges your palate. It's Virginia wine at its finest —…

Ritz-Carlton Is Coming to Tysons — And It's Not Just Another Condo Tower

I've been watching Tysons evolve for years, and let me tell you — this one feels different. Ritz-Carlton just announced plans for a 20-story residential tower in the Arbor Row neighborhood, right across from Tysons Galleria. We're not talking about your average luxury condo here. This is Ritz-Carlton bringing their first Virginia residences to our backyard, and it's another sign that Tysons is turning into the East Coast's next big skyline story.

The Players Behind the Project

The developer behind this move is Renaissance Centro, the same team that delivered Monarch — that sleek 94-unit condo tower that opened in 2023 just down the street. Apparently, Monarch residents are…

What makes Fairfax particularly unique is the fact that it’s both part of the Northern Virginia  suburb area, but also considered incremental to D.C. Its history stretches back to the very first settlers (arguably, and sadly, before that too), like much of Northern Virginia.

Here's the thing — the garden only opens once a month from April to November for special events, so access is…
