Well technically nothing is staying in that neighborhood over the course of the next 20-30 years. Only the people who own the property know exactly how that will be phased.
The only stuff staying in the Scotts Run Station plan is the Mitre/Northrup buildings. Everything else is replaced.
The only stuff staying in the LCOR is the safeway shopping center with Lost Dog Cafe. All the garden styles are also going to be removed in a phased way.
Across the street from LCOR (across Anderson) those townhomes and that condo (i forget the name of them), those are to remain. But all the stuff that looks like the commons of mclean (the 3 story garden style apartments) is coming out. I think the idea is to have the shorter construction in the areas closest to those existing townhomes, and rise in height as you move towards the Mitre campus (in the 2nd picture below the existing townhomes are the bottom of the picture, and mitre would be the top of the picture though it isnt shown).
Scotts Run Station
LCOR
Sorry I dont have a better map of that area as a whole.
