- AMERICAN DREAM WAY PHASE 1 -
Major Improvements on Sunset Station Taking Place This Summer!
Over the next few months we will be making major improvements to Sunset Station. As you may have noticed, curb and gutter installation is nearing completion whereby we can transition to asphalt paving work of the community’s interior road network. Weather permitting, beginning the week of July 21st, crews will begin frontage improvements along Sunset Hills. Work will include the extension of a storm drain culvert to allow for construction of a new sidewalk connection from American Dream Way to Old Reston Avenue along the west bound lanes of Sunset Hills Road.
Throughout the duration of the frontage improvement work expect partial closures of the west-bound lanes between American Dream Way and Old Reston Ave. Please note as we prepare for sidewalk and paving work at the intersection of American Dream Way and Old Reston Avenue pedestrians should be prepared for temporary sidewalk closures at the American Dream Way entrance.
We will also be working on the recreational open space retaining wall and the trail network, as well as the construction of our recreational amenities. The community is getting closer to completion, and we look forward to completing the park sometime in the Fall.
As part of the construction of Sunset Station, we have engaged with an outside consultant to install vibration monitoring equipment on the portion of the site where active townhome-related work is underway. We are committed to ensuring that we are aware of any vibrations that may be occurring and will work closely with the consultant to mitigate them, if possible.
SUNSET STATION UPDATE
Sunset Station is continuing the construction of the model building and hopes to have it completed in November. Dream Finders Homes reports that interest is very high, and they will start pre-sales in September.
Sunset Station is going to be a popular community for Reston. The community will offer spacious townhomes with open floor plans with 3–5 bedrooms, 10-foot ceilings, and rooftop terraces.

PLANS BEING DEVELOPED FOR VERTICAL DEMOLITION
OF THE FNMA BUILDING
Our demolition contractor is nearing completion of the soft strip phase of the building, which includes removing all the interior architectural finishes and decommissioning of non-required systems. We anticipate our permit for demolition of the building and garage structure sometime
in August, with demolition work commencing shortly thereafter. We anticipate the demolition to commence on the southeast corner of the site and progress towards the northwest corner. Heavy equipment will be utilized to demolish the existing structure. Concrete will be processed and
recycled on-site, with the balance of debris being removed via dump truck. All daily demolition-related traffic will be limited to the Sunset Hills entrance.
Note that the pedestrian gate near North Shore Drive will be closed during vertical demolition.
We remain committed to having vibration monitoring in place before the start of building demolition and are in the process of working with a vibration consultant on a comprehensive vibration plan. We will continue to keep you informed as the plan is finalized.
In addition, we have engaged an environmental consultant to review our demolition approach and identify opportunities to enhance our practices. The consultant will strengthen our erosion & sediment, and stormwater controls—targeting a higher standard than required by permit—to further mitigate potential runoff or downstream impacts during demolition. The consultant will also conduct water sampling in the adjacent
pond both before and after demolition to confirm that no adverse impacts from demolition have occurred.
