Innovation Powered by National Landing
Mark Warner (D-VA) U.S. SenatorI am excited to see National Landing emerge as our first 5G community […]. This can be a blueprint for how digital infrastructure is deployed, and I am heartened by the prospects of the innovation this may unlock to advance our country’s competitiveness globally.

Real estate is central to urban development. It consumes physical resources and is a significant source of operational and embodied carbon emissions. Equally, it is central to the goal of creating an environmentally sustainable, resilient, and socially inclusive future. This is what it means to truly pursue sustainable development.
JBG SMITH is dedicated to producing a positive impact on our local community and far beyond. We are committed to achieving high standards for sustainability, air quality, and energy conservation in each of our projects. We also support a cleaner and healthier environment by embracing transit-oriented development, walkability, and alternative modes of transportation.
Amazon’s gleaming HQ2 is taking shape in the area now known as National Landing. Here’s what’s coming—and what has neighbors worried.
When Amazon decided in fall 2018 to build a $2.5 billion East Coast headquarters on the edge of the Crystal City neighborhood in Arlington County, Virginia, it picked a location that does not much resemble the sort of hip urban locales that tech companies usually favor.
Amazon has already moved more than 400 employees into leased office space in nearby Crystal City, but it plans to break ground on the first phase of new development at its second headquarters this month, Bisnow has learned.
We now have a pretty full picture of how JBG Smith Properties (NYSE: JBGS) and landowner Lionstone Investments will remake the 18.7-acre portion of Potomac Yard that houses, for now, the Regal movie theater.
The numbers are mind-boggling. During the next decade, Amazon.com Inc. plans to develop about 6 million square feet of office space in Arlington County’s Crystal City, Pentagon City and Potomac Yard areas to accommodate the mammoth e-tailer’s new HQ2 East Coast headquarters.
Crystal City Metro will soon be one step closer to getting a second entrance. The Arlington County Board is set to approve an interim agreement on Saturday with real-estate company JBG Smith.
When Amazon announced in November 2018 that Arlington, Va., would be the site for its second headquarters outside of Seattle, it set off a frenzy of real estate speculation.
The area now being called National Landing is made up of three more familiar-sounding places: Crystal City, Pentagon City, and part of Potomac Yard.
National Landing, the renamed neighborhood of Crystal City-Pentagon City-Potomac Yards in Arlington and Alexandria, will become the country’s most connected urban center sometime in the next decade, its business boosters say.
National Landing is one of the most talked-about regions in greater D.C.. This community, which straddles Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia, made a major splash in 2018 when Amazon announced it would be home to its new headquarters, dubbed HQ2.
