The leasing agreements haven’t been finalized, so the names of the
restaurants can’t be announced yet, Brian Robinson, construction manager with
Vornado/Charles E. Smith, told the Bailey’s Crossroads/Seven Corners Revitalization Corporation (BC7RC) last week.

The restaurants could open this fall and are expected to
attract diners from the surrounding area, as well as people who live and work
at the Skyline Center. BC7RC President Brian van de Meulebroecke, a co-owner of
Public House No. 7, called the proposal “a step in the right direction.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is moving to Skyline 7 in
July from its current quarters in Ballston. The building has been mostly vacant
since the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency moved out in 2011 as part of
the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.

The restaurants would be on the first floor, facing Leesburg
Pike, said Sara Mariska, a land use attorney with Walsh Colucci Lubeley Emrich & Walsh. The proposal involves changes to the building’s
façade, streetscape improvements including space for outdoor dining, and minor changes
in traffic flow. There are also plans to modify the basement level to
accommodate a future fitness club.

The project won’t add any square feet to the five-story building or change the upper floors.
A rezoning proposal to allow non-office uses in the building
is expected to go to the Fairfax County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors in July.
