While earlier plans were predominantly residential, the current master plan has evolved to incorporate significant retail, office, and entertainment uses. The plan proposes the creation of eight city blocks and contains 1.5 million square feet of new office space, 300,000 square feet of retail anchored by a Wegmans grocery, a cinema, hotel, urban parks and plazas, and over 1,600 residential units. Halley Rise will reshape a traditional suburban office park into a thriving, transformational urban development and provide substantial momentum to the ogoing transformation of the Dulles Transit Corridor.

The Farm at Halley Rise, a .4-acre farm located within the development boundaries, boasts over 30 vegetable, herb, and fruit crops, as well as two beehives, a native flower garden, a raingarden and a pollinator meadow. The Farm, which serves as a community gathering space, helps to provide harvests for the Edmund community to enjoy, including thousands of pounds of produce donated to local food security organizations each year. More than 400 pounds of produce have already been donated since the Farm was planted in 2021.
