Wegmans Coming to McLean, Will Be Part of Capital One Development

Wegmans Food Markets has reached a preliminary agreement to bring a supermarket to Capital One’s corporate headquarters site in McLean, according to Capital One.

The store will be located at Capital One’s corporate campus at the Beltway and Route 123 and within one block of the first Tysons stop on the Metro Silver Line.

Wegmans approached Capital One regarding the potential deal through Roadside Development of the District, Capital One said. Roadside is currently in discussions to provide additional consulting services pertaining to the design of the site.

“As the region’s hometown bank, we’re proud to have one of the nation’s top-rated grocers in the neighborhood,” said Barry Mark, VP Workplace Solutions. “ The addition of Wegmans – widely recognized as a top supermarket and retail employer - will help fuel the transformation of Tysons into an urban center that is a remarkable destination to live, work and play.”

The Wegmans will be subject to Fairfax County approvals, Capital One points out. The store is projected to open in 2019.

The Capital One campus site is currently zoned to include 4.97 million square feet of transit-oriented mixed-use development, which includes commercial, hotel, residential, retail, and civic facilities.

“We have been looking for a site in Tyson’s Corner for some time,” says Ralph Uttaro, Wegmans’ senior vice president of real estate. “Capital One is creating a vibrant and exciting project, and we wanted to be involved. This will be an ideal place for Wegmans to deliver on our promise of incredible customer service, great quality and selection, and consistent low prices.
