History

In December 1987, Loudoun County officials approved the jurisdiction's first regional shopping mall.

Dulles Town Center's developer was Lerner Enterprises. [3]

The mall was put on hold until 1994 due to the downturn in the local economy. In March of that year the mall announced it would start construction that spring with plans to be open 1996. [4] With further delays, it wasn't until the summer of 1996 that Dulles Town Center broke ground. The mall opened its first two anchor stores (Hecht's and Lord & Taylor) on November 18, 1998. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Dulles Town Center took place on August 12, 1999.
