High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert E. Simon, Jr. (Born 1914 in New York, New York) is a real estate entrepreneur most known for founding the community of Reston, Virginia. After graduating from Harvard University, Simon took over the family real estate management and development business. In 1961, with the proceeds from the sale of a family property, Carnegie Hall, Simon purchased 6,750 acres (27 km²) of land in Fairfax County, Virginia and hired Conklin + Rossant to develop a master plan for the new town of Reston, Virginia, a planned community well know on the national level. Simon's new town concept emphasized quality of life for the individual and provided a community where people could live, work, and play without driving long distances. Simon returned to live in Reston in 1993 and helped celebrate Reston's 40th birthday in 2004. In that same year a bronze statue of Simon was placed on a park bench in Washington Plaza on Lake Anne, the original heart of the community he built.
