Cryptic Message Says Big Changes Coming to Reston Town Center -- But Won't Say What

Boston Properties says due to "business disclosure issues," it isn't able to talk yet about the changes, which will involve parking.

Big changes are coming Reston Town Center thanks to a local development group -- although much of it is shrouded in mystery.

What we do know is that Boston Properties Property Management of Reston intends to go forward with a project that would involve "enhancing the parking experience" at Reston Town Center with a new paid, streamlined parking model, but that project has been bumped from August until September, according to a notification that was distributed to Reston Town Center tenants late Tuesday.

That's because Boston Properties is also working on "another innovative element of our plan which will provide for an even safer place to live, work and shop," the statement adds. But you'll have to wait to find out what exactly that will involve, as the firm says they're not able to discuss it publicly due to "business disclosure issues."
