It closed back at the end of December. Supposedly, that whole area - which is primarily a huge surface parking lot right now - is going to be redeveloped. The Circle K and Popeye's will stay, but Chili's is gone, Wells Fargo is gone, and the strip with the 7-Eleven, cleaners, and Reston Kabob is supposed to close as well.

Do you have a source for the development plans? I'm curious if it is related to the potential sale of the golf course.

Chili’s Bar and Grill will be closing its Reston location sooner than expected, a store spokesman has confirmed.
The restaurant’s last day will be Dec. 28, says Mike Huffman, director of operations for Chesapeake Restaurants, Chili’s parent company.
Huffman told Reston Now last week that the Chili’s, located at 11840 Sunrise Valley Dr., would close “sometime this spring.”
Chili’s has been in its spot near the International Center for more than 20 years. However, that whole area is slated for a major redevelopment.
The redevelopment plan includes 145,000 square feet of above-grade retail, 100,00 square feet of below-grade retail, 428,225 square feet of office and 498 residential units in mid-rise buildings.
Developer JBG has not said when redevelopment is slated to begin. A Wells Fargo branch closed in August and sits empty as well.
The rest of the small strip mall retail is slated to be torn down as part of the redevelopment. Only the Exxon station and free-standing Popeyes restaurant are slated to remain.

Chili’s Bar & Grill’s Reston location will likely close in the next few months, a company spokesman said.
Chili’s has been located at 11840 Sunrise Valley for nearly two decades. Mike Huffman, director of operations for Chesapeake Restaurants, Chili’s parent company, said there is not yet an exact closing date.
“We are on a very short time frame,” he said “I think from our best understanding, it will be this spring.”
The International Center area, where Chili’s is located, is slated for major redevelopment.
In summer 2013, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a mixed-use plan for the 10-acre site that current is a surface parking lot, a small strip mall, the stand-alone Chili’s, and office space.
Developer JBG’s plans call for a 15-story addition to the Reston International Center and four new buildings: a six-story residential building, a 15-story residential building, a five-story building that incorporates a parking garage with residences and retail space; and a 10-story building that mixes office space, parking and retail space.
The plan includes 145,000 square feet of above-grade retail, 100,00 square feet of below-grade retail, 428,225 square feet of office and 498 residential units.
JBG first had a plan for the area approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2008. That plan featured 498 residential units, 245,000 square feet of retail and nearly 430,000 square feet of office in six buildings. In the newer plans, the numbers are similar, but the design has changed to better engage with the surrounding environment.
There will be an entrance to the development from the Reston Parkway side, something the area currently lacks.
In a presentation to the Reston Association Design Review Board in 2013, Cunningham Quill Architects and Olin, a landscape architecture firm, said they were seeking a design that engages with the landscape and connects with the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station via bike and foot paths.
The new plans will also be harmonious with the adjacent Reston Heights project, also built by JBG. That includes the Westin Reston Heights hotel and the Mercer Condominium, as well as office space.
A Wells Fargo branch in the same development closed in August and sits empty as the center gets ready for the development. Under the current plans, only the stand-alone Popeye’s restaurant will be incorporated in the redevelopment.
JBG has not said when construction will start on the new development.
