Reston Town Center – Now There’s an App for That!

By Dave Liss | July 27, 2010

Reston, Va. and Santa Monica, CA – Reach Media Holdings has announced development and distribution of its first premium mobile application.

It is named Reston Town Center and features a variety of tools needed to make a visit to this popular Virginia destination center easier and more successful.

The new mobile application will allow users to learn about shopping, dining and entertainment at the Reston Town Center, including making a restaurant reservation or checking out times for local movie theatres.  It can be accessed by going to the iTunes app store and typing keywords 'rtc' or 'reston' or by clicking on this link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reston-town-center/id381006982?mt=8.

Reston is an internationally known planned community, the first U.S. modern post-World War II planned community.  It is famous for its lovely parks, wide swaths of wooded areas, beautiful streams and meadows, multiple golf courses and swimming pools, bike paths, lakes and extensive footpaths.  It is the home to a community of more than 60,000 people, and also home to two major Fortune 500 companies and other corporate development.

"This is our first mobile application, done about our home town, and we believe customers will be very pleased by the quality and quantity of information," said Shane Gau, CEO of Reach Messaging Holdings Inc.  "We will be announcing many more new mobile applications soon."

A similar app for Virginia’s neighboring Dulles Town Center will be launched in the near future.

The Mobile Applications Market

The mobile applications market is expected to grow to $25 billion by 2014, according to Juniper Research.  A study by Chetan Sharma consulting show that mobile application downloads should jump from 7 billion in 2009 to almost 50 billion by 2012.  By this time the market is anticipated to be worth $17.5 billion.

This increase in growth is expected despite the projection that prices will decrease from $2 per app to $1.50 per app by 2012.
