National Landing is a mixed used complex that covers four square miles, spanning all the way from legacy Pentagon City in Arlington, down to Alexandria where Virginia Tech’s campus is coming up. It will be anchored by Amazon’s second headquarters sized at more than four million square feet and Virginia Tech’s Innovation Campus valued at $1 billion. JBG Smith is the developer and master planner behind the 6.3 million square feet (about half the total floor space of the Pentagon) of multifamily and office space. The interconnected, largest walkable neighborhood encompasses Crystal City,
the eastern portion of Pentagon City and the northern portion of Potomac Yard. Adjacent to Reagan National Airport, it is situated across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
The investment in CBRS spectrum accelerates JBG Smith’s ability to partner with leading service providers to bring 5G and other technology infrastructure within the district. This robust technology infrastructure, highly privatized and secure, enhances National Landing’s digital capabilities. It will allow enterprises to connect everything and everyone in real time and transform customer engagement and experiences.
