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.
