Across the river from Washington, DC, National Landing is the capital region’s premier mixed-use urban community and the largest walkable downtown in Virginia. Encompassing Crystal City, the eastern part of Pentagon City, and the northern portion of Potomac Yard, National Landing is a blend of offices, apartments, restaurants, shops, parks, hotels, cultural venues, bike paths, walking trails, live events, and other amenities.
This dynamic neighborhood is centered on the principles of sustainability, health and wellness, and green social spaces. It fulfills JBG Smith’s ongoing vision to create unique public spaces that are human-centered, defined by walkable, flexible, tech-enabled communities. National Landing has delivered the first-of-its-kind converged digital infrastructure platform, and JBG Smith partnered 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.
