About Greensboro Station
Greensboro Metro station opened on July 26, 2014, as part of the Silver Line Phase 1 extension through the Tysons Corner urban core. The station is located at the heart of the central Tysons district, near the intersection of Greensboro Drive and Route 7 (Leesburg Pike), and is the closest Metro stop to Tysons Galleria — one of the Washington region's premier upscale shopping destinations.
Tysons Galleria, home to Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, and dozens of luxury retailers and restaurants, is within a 5–10 minute walk of the Greensboro station exits. The surrounding area features dense office development, residential high-rises, and hotels that form the center of the Tysons redevelopment corridor.
Like all Tysons stations, Greensboro was designed without a commuter parking garage — consistent with Fairfax County's master plan to transform Tysons into a walkable urban center rather than a suburban park-and-ride destination. Riders typically arrive on foot from nearby offices and residences, by rideshare, or via Fairfax Connector buses.
