☕️ Reston’s coffee scene just keeps getting better! Simply Social Coffee — known for its cozy vibe and handmade breakfast sandwiches — has officially opened a new location on Sunrise Valley Drive, just off Wiehle Ave.
The café sits upstairs in the brick plaza and is filled with natural light, warm wood accents, and seasonal decor that makes it feel like home. Everything is made to order, from fresh breakfast plates to the crowd-favorite Marco Polo sandwich — grilled chicken, veggies, and a touch of jalapeño heat 🌶️
It’s another reason Reston continues to shine as one of Northern Virginia’s most inviting communities — full of new spots to gather, connect, and enjoy great food and coffee.

HR Giant Workday Relocating from Tysons to Reston 🏢
Big moves in the NoVA tech corridor! As seen in FFXnow, Workday, the global HR software company that helps thousands of businesses manage their personnel and finances, is trading Tysons for Reston Town Center in a major expansion.
The company just signed a lease for the entire 8th and 9th floors at 1818 Library Street, more than tripling their footprint to 51,204 square feet. These floors were previously occupied by Meta (Facebook's parent company), who recently scaled back their RTC presence.
With this signing, Reston Town Center's office space is now an impressive 98% leased! According to BXP, Workday's planned move is part of their "continued investment in supporting its growing government customer base in the region." 📈
The relocation is expected in spring 2026, with their current Tysons space at Greensboro Park already being advertised for lease. Interestingly, while Greensboro Park was approved for redevelopment with multifamily housing back in 2014, those plans haven't materialized—instead, the parking lot may soon host temporary padel courts until development begins.

I’m looking forward to it - my commute will be walking distance from Lake Anne. Robert Simon’s dream becomes my reality.
@e5095 love that for you! 🚶😍

@seanhickeyphotography yes, the Hawkeye one didn’t seem fully baked yet, but we need to go back and check on Voodoo’s progress. Also another one coming to Arrowbrook.
@greaterrestonliving I read Hawkeye is taking the Juicy spot.
@seanhickeyphotography yes, I feel like the source of that was the Juicy owner, who may not be the most reliable. Though I could be wrong.
It's nice to see Ornery is finally opening. There should also be two more brewery openings this Fall, so we'll have a plethora to choose from in the area. 😍
@greaterrestonliving this is a much needed addition to that plaza!
@greaterrestonliving which ones?
@seanhickeyphotography it’s in Woodland Crossing with Harris Teeter on Sunrise Valley.

Comment FLIP for a free “Flip-or-List” home analysis in Reston. We’ll tell you what to fix, what to skip, and what you could net. 🏡
1️⃣ The Problem
Great location on the lake. Solid bones. But dated with multiple Reston Association violations. Our sellers asked whether to sell as is or renovate for full value.
2️⃣ The Reality Check
Our private investor network offered up to $700k. We projected the right updates could bring $875k to $925k.
3️⃣ The Plan
We managed a strategic renovation for $48k: exterior and interior paint, wood repair, chimney rebuild, refinished floors, new carpet, new lights, new fridge and dishwasher, punch list, full staging. 🛠️
4️⃣ The Launch
We flooded the zone with marketing: Instagram reach, paid ads, targeted emails to Reston buyers, broker preview to pressure test pricing, multiple open houses, premium photography, drone, and floor plans. 📈
5️⃣ The Result
Offer at $915k. All cash. No contingencies. Two-week close.
$915k minus $48k reno equals $867k net. That is $167k more than the investor’s $700k. 💰
Would you invest $48k to net an extra $167k on your sale? Comment FLIP and we’ll run the numbers for your home. 💬

@rupistep in some ways every home sale could be a mini “flip.” Sometimes just a coat of paint or some modern lighting can make a difference.

@greaterrestonliving oh really? I would have thought it was sometime in spring!
@rupistep Spring is usually the best time to sell a home but the good weather gets all the buyers excited so there is more competition driving prices up faster, but in October we start seeing a seasonal dip in prices and the weather is still great. 😊
@learntoinvestbetter they are in 20171 (Oak Hill, but many people aren't aware of that name and still call it Herndon). 😊
