New Reston apartment community offers high-end luxury

Published March 3, 2015 by Paula C. Squires

Harrison at Reston Town Center Reston, the latest project of Renaissance Centro, is now open. The 14-story, 400,000-square-foot property provides a look at the latest in resort-style amenities in today’s high-end apartment market.

Electric car-charging stations and bike storage with a repair station can be found in the community’s 440-car garage. All told, there’s 28,000 square feet of space devoted to amenities. They include a 24-hour fitness center with indoor lap pool and massage room, round-the-clock Starbucks coffee, a dog park and pet spa, and a well-appointed residents’ lounge.

Foodies can enjoy a Culinary Center with a commercial demonstration kitchen and private dining room that can be reserved for celebrations. 

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the amenity space, and the project has made full use of its roof with an outdoor pool and sundeck, grilling station, golf simulator and fire pit.

On staff is a full-time lifestyle coordinator who will schedule community events, arrange fitness classes and provide concierge-style services. Using an online portal and mobile app, residents can reserve amenities, pay rent and request maintenance services.

All this luxury comes at a price. According to the project's Website, rent for a one-bedroom, one-bath unit of 674 to 881 square feet ranges from $1,855 to $3,465 per month while a three-bedroom, three-bath unit offering 1,419 to 1,504 square feet goes for $3,600 to $6,635.

According to Renaissance Centro, nearly 20 percent of the 360 apartments have been preleased. Located at 1800 Jonathan Way, the $100 million plus project is the third, large multifamily complex developed by Bethesda, Md.-based Renaissance Centro. It also developed Stratford House and Carlton House that, like Harrison, are located across Reston Parkway from Reston Town Center.

The location gives residents access to the stores and restaurants at Reston Town Center, and they also are members of the Reston Association, which operates 15 outdoor pools, 55 miles of paved pathways and trails and 52 tennis courts.

“We are excited to deliver The Harrison, our most modern and luxurious multifamily community to date … With the new Silver Line Metro service to Reston, residents of The Harrison will not only enjoy all that Reston has to offer, but also will have easy access to downtown Washington and the entire national capital region,” Albert H. Small, Jr. a principal at Renaissance Centro, said in a statement.
