Halley Rise, an under-construction mixed-use development near downtown Reston, has unveiled its first apartment community. The mid-rise building, called “The Edmund,” will open near the southwest corner of Reston Parkway and the Dulles Access Road. The teaser site is currently advertising the first units coming “this summer.” Approximately 380 apartments will be stacked on top of an urban-format Wegmans grocery store, which is now set to open in early 2023, according to the Halley Rise website.
The Edmund is built on what is referred to as “Block F” in planning documents, bounded by Reston Parkway to the east, and new roads Fulton Place and Hopper Street to the west and south, respectively. It is a seven-story building wrapped partially around a parking garage and completely around two amenity courtyards. The first floor is partially concealed, with the above-grade portion facing Fulton Place. The first floor will have retail space and an entrance to the apartments, the second floor will be occupied entirely by the Wegmans supermarket, and the top five floors will contain the living units. In the typical Reston style, the building is adorned mostly in earth-tones. The exposed sides of the multilevel parking garage will be screened with wire mesh paneling.
The Wegmans lease was announced in 2018 with an expected opening date of 2022. An early 2023 opening date is later than expected, considering that the rest of the building might be occupied considerably sooner. However, it is not a complete surprise, considering how the recent pandemic has changed market conditions in the area. As of now, developer Brookfield Properties has not announced any leases for its approved office buildings on neighboring blocks, although a Pinstripes bowling alley has been confirmed for a building that has yet to break ground.
The Edmund is visible from Reston Parkway and will be within walking distance of a future Metro station. 
The five levels of exposed above-ground parking will service the apartment units. 
The Edmund will feature 380 apartment homes above two stories of retail.

Future buildings in various stage of planning and development include “The Timber,” a six-floor loft-style office building being designed by Hacker, a high-rise residential tower with planned ground floor entertainment uses, and a high-rise office building, currently dubbed “3 Halley Rise.”
