JBG SMITH Bringing 11 New Restaurant Concepts to Redeveloped Water Park in Crystal City 

JBG SMITH, a Bethesda-based commercial real estate firm, is bringing eleven new restaurant concepts to National Landing’s reimagined Water Park this summer in Arlington, Verginia.  

Nine of the new eateries will be located in 300-square-foot kiosks lining Crystal Drive. Each is meant to serve as incubator opportunities for up-and-coming culinary talent. The lineup features a diverse and eclectic blend of cuisines conceived by a host of emerging local, minority- and women-led businesses.  

Additionally, JBG SMITH has entered into an agreement with STHRN Hospitality, the Atlanta-based culinary and creative group, to anchor a 1,400-square-foot full-service restaurant set into the hillside. The new vision for Water Park, a roughly 1.6-acre open space in the heart of National Landing, will complement the broader redevelopment efforts in the neighborhood.  

“We’re especially excited to introduce National Landing’s residents, workers and visitors to this dynamic mix of emerging culinary talent,” said Amy Rice, senior vice president of retail leasing at JBG SMITH.
