[3] Tysons Corner station opened as part of the first phase of the Silver Line to Wiehle–Reston East in 2014.

In the planning stages, controversy ensued over whether to build the Metro in a tunnel or on an elevated viaduct through Tysons.

Buildings heights within the North Tysons Central subdistrict will reach up to 400 ft (122 m), among the highest in the metropolitan area.
