Fairfax County Police said they were called to Clyde’s about 1:21 a.m. on Sunday for a report of an aggravated assault.

A 24-year-old Vienna man and his 26-year-old girlfriend from Fairfax were at the bar when an unknown man approached and started to flirt with the girlfriend. A verbal argument began between the boyfriend and the unknown man and it escalated into a physical altercation, police said.

The unknown man produced a knife and allegedly cut the boyfriend and then fled. The suspect was described as Hispanic, wearing a black jacket, a white shirt and blue jeans.

Boston Properties has completed the final part of a transaction that makes the company the sole owner of Reston Town Center.

The company recently  completed the second part of a large land deal with Beacon Capital Partners, a process that began more than three years ago, the Washington Business Journal reported.

Boston Properties exercised its option to acquire Beacon Capital’s 50-percent stake in office/retail complex Fountain Square — the two large office buildings with ground-floor retail near RTC’s Mercury Fountain — for about $100.9 million in cash and about $105.6 million in assumed mortgage debt, the company disclosed in an earnings statement.

With the deal for the 759,000-square-foot Fountain Square, Boston Properties owns pretty much all the space at RTC.

In 2012, Boston Properties made a deal to buy Fountain Square up to $385 million (about$474 per square foot). It contributed $87 million for a 50-percent stake in the Beacon Capital affiliate that owned the property, with an option to acquire Beacon Capital’s remaining 50 percent stake as long as it did so before October 2016. The Washington Business Journal recognized the deal in 2013 as the best suburban office sale of the year.

Meanwhile, Boston Properties will begin work soon on Blocks 4 and 5, the last remaining undeveloped parcels at Reston Town Center. The new construction will add up to 549 residential units and nine levels of underground parking to the approximately 235,000 square feet of retail space, 524,000 square feet of office space, more than 1,000 residential units and 2,830 public parking spaces already at the town center.

Reston Town Center has an easy and safe way for little ones to take part in the typically after-dark Halloween fun.

It is daylight Trick-or-Treating, and it takes place Saturday, Oct. 31 from 12 to 4 p.m.

Costumed children can visit participating retailers and the Information Center (next to BRB by the pavilion) for treats and goodies on Halloween afternoon. Look for the pumpkin flyer in the window.

The whole family can also enjoy a spooky, magical performance for all ages by Turley the Magician at 1 p.m. in Fountain Square.

The Washington West Film Festival wrapped up its final day in Reston on Sunday with a red carpet event at Bow Tie Cinemas at Reston Town Center.

In addition to about 50 short films, documentaries and international films in keeping with the theme “story can change the world,” this year’s festival — the fifth annual — highlighted the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future.

Sunday’s event featured a bunch of DeLoreans, the sportscar that served as the time machine in the movie trilogy, arriving at town center. On hand Sunday were actor Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc Brown in the movies; Back to the Future co-writer Bob Gale; actress Claudia Wells; and special friend of the festival Ed Asner, among other VIPS.

A huge crowd filled Market Street to welcome the DeLoreans and the special guests.

Proceeds from the event benefitted the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Reston Town Center’s newest store will open on Friday.

Bluemercury, located at 11924 Market St., is part of a locally founded chain of beauty product stores that feature spa services. The company is now owned by Macy’s.

Bluemercury sells brands such as Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone, Le Mer, Laura Mercier, NARS and Molton Brown. The Reston location will eventually offer spa services such as waxing, eyebrow shaping and facials.

Other local locations include the original store in Georgetown, Fairfax Corner, Clarendon and Bethesda.

While selling a selection of high-end brands not found at some stores, bluemercury will have lots of competition at Reston Town Center. Cosmetics megastore Sephora is located nearby, as is the new Joe Grooming men’s salon, an Origins store, an Aveda store/spa, L’Occitaine and two beauty salons.

How much did Back to the Future get correct about life in 2015?

That’s what NBC Nightly News explored on Tuesday, with Reston Town Center and a time machine DeLorean as the backdrop.

Oct. 21, 2015 was the exact date Marty McFly and Doc Brown found themselves in in the second Back to the Future movie. It was a world with drones, hoverboard skateboards, flying cars, video phone calls and the Cubs winning the World Series.

Well, we’re constantly on the video calls and the Cubs, despite being down 3-0 in the National League Championship Series, still have a (slim) shot.

The tricked-out DeLorean — owned by Back to the Future enthusiast Ken Smith — has been at Reston Town Center all week as the Washington West Film Festival prepares to open tonight. A showing of the entire Back to the Future trilogy begins at Bow Tie Cinemas Reston at 7 p.m.

Reston received a proclamation from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors over the summer ceremoniously changing its name from Reston to Hill Valley, where Back to the Future took place, for the duration of the festival.

Sunday will feature a red carpet screening of the first movie, and a Q-and-A featuring star Christopher Lloyd. That event is sold out.

Check out the NBC News report.

Reston Town Center has a new salon, and this one is just for men.

Joe Grooming, a McLean-based men’s hair, shaving and skin care line, recently opened its first dedicated retail store and salon at 11944 Market St. The location formerly housed PR at Partners salon, which moved to a larger space on Democracy Drive, also in Reston Town Center.

The men’s salon sells Joe Grooming products, as well as offers hair cuts and shaves.

“When you step into the shop you will notice the welcome mat which reads, HELLO RESTON, as we are thrilled to be in Reston Town Center,”  Joe Grooming founder Dan Kliska said in a release.

Kliska has teamed with Reg Laws, owner of the 16 PR at Partners salons, to open the first Joe Grooming store.

“You’ll see a blue bathtub, a symbol of our social responsibility movement, and the USA signage that represents our American pride,” said Kliska. “You’ll begin to feel the vibe of the Joe Grooming brand. It’s a place where men can relax, experience high-quality professional grooming services, and simply feel part of the Reston community.”

Joe Grooming says its products are made with a core of natural ingredients. It also participates in a “Get One, Give One” program, where for every product purchased, one is donated to charity. Local charities include Cornerstones, FamilyPASS, Northern Virginia Family Service and SHARE of McLean.

The salon is open seven days a week. Visit Joe Grooming’s website for appointments and more information.

Joe Grooming will have a grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015 at 5:30 p.m.

Reston Town Center is turning 25, and everyone is invited to celebrate on Sunday.

Reston Town Center — which opened on Oct. 18, 1990 — is hosting Reston Town Center Day from noon to 4 p.m.

There will be free refreshments, live music, entertainment, games, pumpkin decorating, hayrides and more at Fountain Square and in the Pavilion. VIP remarks will take place at 1 p.m.

When Reston Town Center opened, it was about four blocks of shops and restaurants anchored by the multi-screen movie theater and the Hyatt Regency Reston. It moved away from the popular concept at the time — indoor shopping malls — and created a downtown from scratch and setting in motion a wave of “lifestyle centers” built nationwide in the ensuing years.

Several original tenants remain, including the Hyatt, Clyde’s, Talbot’s and Ann Taylor. RTC’s current footprint is 2.8 million square feet of office space, 50 shops, about 30 restaurants and three residential high-rises. Office space, meanwhile, is 100 percent leased, officials have said at several commercial real estate events.

RTC will soon develop the surface lot, the last undeveloped parcel on the site.

Last week’s Oktoberfest Reston celebrated beer. Now it is on to wine.

The Washington Wine Academy will host the Reston International Wine Festival Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. at Reston Town Center.

The Washington Wine Academy will offer tasting of wines from 12 countries as well as 26 different Virginia wines at this event in the Reston Town Center Pavilion.

Online tickets start at $35; walk-up tickets will be $40.  You will be given a card and be able to taste two wines from each country/region for a total of 26 wines (1 ounce samples of each).

Wines from: United States (California and Virginia), South Africa, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Chile, France, Argentina, Italy, Austria, New Zealand and Australia.

There will be live music from My Generation.

Northern Virginia moviegoers will be taken back to 1955 and to the hills of Austria, among dozens of other destinations, at the fifth annual Washington West Film Festival.

The festival runs from Oct. 21-27, with movie showings at Bow Tie Cinemas Reston Town Center and other Northern Virginia locations.

The festival kicks off on Oct. 21 with a screening of the Back to the Future trilogy at 7 p.m., said Reston outreach coordinator Andy Sigle. Oct. 21, 2015 is where Marty McFly and Doc Brown landed when they time traveled in Back to the Future.

The film festival will also hold a red carpet showing of the first film on Sunday, and actor Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc and Bob Gale, one of the trilogy’s writers, are expected to attend, Sigle said.

The festival will also feature a 50th anniversary screening of The Sound of Music at The Barns of Wolf Trap on Oct 24 at 7:30 p.m.

The festival includes more than 45 other films, including featured, independent and short films and documentaries. Among the highlights: a showcase of films by George Mason University students; a documentary about Matt Rutherford, the first person to sail alone around North and South America; and a documentary My Friend Ed, about longtime actor Ed Asner the reality behind heroes vs celebrities.

See the full schedule and purchase tickets on the Washington West website.

This year, the festival is trying to reach further in the Reston community, Sigle said. Sigle says there will be streetlight banners at Reston Town Center drawing greater awareness for the event.

“We’re trying to be much more out front with people in the Reston Town Center.”

The festival is reaching out to parts of the Reston community that usually do not attend the festival, such as those living near the Southgate Community Center, Sigle said.

To remedy that, there will be a free screening (donations accepted) at Southgate of Coach of the Year, a movie about a swim team struggling to practice without having a pool, at the center. Two short films, Taking Flight and The Gift, will also be shown.

“We’ll take the film festival to that area of Reston instead of hoping that area will come to us,” Sigle said.

The proceeds of this year’s festival will go the Robert Duvall Children’s Fund.

“It is kind of cool that the festival combines the love of the arts and philanthropy,” Sigle said.

Beer, brats, food trucks and amazing weather were the highlights of the weekend at the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce’s annual Oktoberfest Reston at Reston Town Center.

The event featured craft brews and specialties from local restaurants, as well as the Reston Pumpkin 5K race and live music.

Reston Town Center beauty salon PR at Partners has a new location and a new name.

The salon,  which has been at 11944 Market St. for about eight years, has relocated to 119o2 Democracy Dr., in the space formerly occupied by Le Shoppe Salon. Le Shoppe, an original town center tenant, closed its doors last December.

The salon’s new name is PR Freshlook. A spokeswoman for the local chain says the Reston salon will offer the same services as at the old location (color, cuts and other hair styling) but will have much more room in the larger space.

Meanwhile, Reston’s first men’s salon, Joe Grooming, has moved into the former PR Partners Market Street space. It opened for business last week.

Plans for the last remaining undeveloped lot at Reston Town Center will go before the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday with slight tweaks that make a building closer to Fountain Drive, but do not change the density, scale basic plans for the project.

Block 4, as it is called, is Boston Properties’ project that will turn the surface parking lot at RTC into two high-rise residential buildings with up to 549 units and nine levels of underground parking.

The plans also call for a park with a yoga area, public art and picnic areas.

Boston Properties had to go through a rezoning for the project (that land was slated to be office/commercial space). The project was approved by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in summer 2014.

But the developers recently had to go back to the Fairfax County Planning Commission for the slight alterations. The planning commission approved the changes last month, and the supervisors will vote on them today.

The project’s western residential tower will run in staggered building sections in an east-west direction parallel to New Dominion Parkway in order to break up the mass of the building.  The middle section of the building will now be narrower by about eight feet for an approximate width of 34 feet and will extend 21 feet closer to Fountain Drive.

Says a county staff report on the project: “This modification is proposed to better align with the structured parking and retail space below to create a greater physical relationship with the base of building rather than a deep setback. “

The eastern end of the residential tower has been modified to extend six
feet to the east. Such modifications only affect the residential levels (7 through 21) of
the building.

The modification to the building massing does not change the approved height, density, setbacks, streetscape, or number residential units approved for the building in 2014, the staff report says. In addition, there is no change to the ground floor uses and parking or to the eastern residential tower.

Block 4 will also have an increase in open space. There will be about 1.85 acres (40 percent) of open space, which is a half acre more than previously planned. There will also be an additional vegetated roof (original plans called for just one on the main building entrance).

It was necessary to go back to the planning commission, the staff report says, because  modifications to the building massing could not be achieved through a minor modification request under the zoning ordinance.

Reston Town Center will celebrate its 25th birthday later this month with a community party.

Reston Town Center — which opened on Oct. 18, 1990 — will mark the milestone with Reston Town Center Day on Oct. 18, 2105 from noon to 4 p.m.

There will be free refreshments, live music, entertainment, games, pumpkin decorating, hayrides and more at Fountain Square and in the Pavilion at Reston Town Center. VIP remarks will take place at 1 p.m.

When Reston Town Center opened, it was about four blocks of shops and restaurants anchored by the multi-screen movie theater and the Hyatt Regency Reston.

Reston Town Center was a groundbreaking idea for its time — an outdoors, built-from-scratch downtown in the suburbs. It was built at a time when indoor malls were still trending nationwide.

However, town center set the model for dozens of similar developments to open nationwide in the following years.

Reston founder Robert E. Simon always envisioned such a place, and the 85-acre parcel was left undeveloped for Reston’s first 25 years.

Several attempts to get the project underway collapsed, mainly because there weren’t enough people living nearby, Kenneth P. Wong, senior development manager for the original project told The Washington Post when RTC was ready to open.

“The idea of a downtown in the suburbs was something that no one really had a grip on,” he said. “It’s a very complicated proposition that needed a long [research and development] gestation period.”

And when it did open in October of 1990, it did so in a huge rainstorm. And in the midst of a recession.

Nonetheless, RTC was successful from the start, has greatly expanded, and its last remaining undeveloped parcel, the surface parking lot, will soon be transformed.

Several original tenants remain, including the Hyatt, Clyde’s, Talbot’s and Ann Taylor. RTC’s current footprint is 2.8 million square feet of office space, 50 shops, about 30 restaurants and three residential high-rises. Office space, meanwhile, is 100 percent leased, officials have said at several commercial real estate events.
