SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Macerich (NYSE: MAC) today announced that its breakthrough mixed-use urban expansion at Tysons Corner Center has just received the 2015 Award of Excellence for "Best Building Mixed-Use Project" from the Northern Virginia Chapter of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association.
