Reston condo sale sets Virginia record at $10.25M

A penthouse in the JW Marriott Residences Reston Station went for about $10.25 million in April, according to Fairfax County records.

It’s the most expensive condo sold in Virginia, confirmed Matt Cummings, a vice president of Alexandria-based real estate company McWilliams Ballard, who helped sell the unit for an entity that shares an address with Reston-based real estate developer Comstock.

“The last one was down at Waterview a couple years ago,” Cummings said Friday of the previous record holder.

Specifically, the previous record holder reportedly was a a 29th-floor Rosslyn condo at the luxury high-rise Waterview, which sold for $5.95 million in 2024, according to Arlington County records.

Opened in 2025, the JW Marriott Residences Reston Station building features 248 hotel rooms on lower floors. It offers more than 40,000 square feet of event space and multiple dining venues.

The upper floors include 93 residences that have floor-to-ceiling windows, Thermador and Bosch appliances and smart-home entry locks. Amenities include a landscaped rooftop dog park, valet parking and a private fitness center. Another feature: plant care service, which some refer to as the plant concierge.

“It’s a condominium on top of the hotel, but you have all the services from the hotel,” Cummings said. “So, you can have room service and dog walking. Flower arrangements. Housekeeping. You can have a private chef come in. … All the things that [the hotel] would offer, we offer to the residences as well.”

The 28-story building features five penthouses, according to Cummings: one unit on the 28th floor, two on the 27th and two on the 26th.

The buyer who set the record bought both 27th-floor units and will combine them for about 6,000 square feet of space along with a 2,008-square-foot balcony, according to Fairfax County records. The same buyer also purchased a condo on the 24th floor Jan. 30 for about $1.5 million.

As for the penthouses, another buyer purchased one of the units on the 26th floor for about $4.8 million in January, according to public records. Cummings declined to disclose the price or timing of the 28th-floor penthouse sale but said only one penthouse remains on the market.

Cummings and Chris Masters, a partner at McWilliams Ballard, are leading sales for the condo units. They have sold about 40% of the condos in the building and have about 50 left on the market, according to Cummings.

“This is a world-class building,” he said. “We’re offering an exceptional product here.”
