The project is part of the next phase of a transit-oriented development that expands Reston Town Center into Fairfax County. The 39-story development sits on top of a podium containing 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and garage parking as well as 80,000 square feet of office space.
The tower features 464 one- to three-bedroom apartments and 44 artisan/maker loft-style units and townhomes. Skymark’s proximity to the Metro station allows residents to commute to Dulles Airport and Washington, D.C., easily; the building is also within a half-mile walk to the shops and restaurants at Reston Town Center. The residential units feature cabinetry with warm woods, white quartz, work-from-home layouts, stainless steel appliances, programmable thermostats, and balconies and terraces.
A shared amenity space spans the fifth floor and features a communal kitchen and bar space, a coworking space with conference rooms, a sports bar, and an outdoor pool deck and terrace.

The residential architecture design is a departure from the traditional style of the neighborhood, characterized by clean lines, simple forms, and a restrained color palette. The facade of the residential tower, featuring light and dark pre-cast concrete, staggers for a three-level expression. The multi-material layering of pre-cast concrete and brick creates a unique appearance for the low-rise residential lofts. An integration of glass and metal introduces an urban minimalism for the office component.
Dual residential lobbies suggest nuanced differences between Skymark’s east and west towers. The east lobby includes a communal table, a seating nook, a hospitality lounge, and a mailroom. The larger west lobby features a rideshare lounge, concierge, a mailroom, a reception lounge, and a tearoom, with natural elements and palette enhanced by blackened steel.
