National owner and developer JBG SMITH has announced the start of construction for two residential towers at 1900 Crystal Drive in National Landing.

The development is slated to include 808 multifamily rental units and 40,000 square feet of street-level retail across two mixed-use buildings. A 27-story southern tower will feature 471 apartments, while the 26-story northern tower will incorporate 337 apartments. The two buildings will each measure 300 feet tall and were designed by architect COOKFOX in collaboration with Torti Gallas + Partners.

“The start of construction on 1900 Crystal Drive marks yet another major milestone in National Landing’s ongoing transformation,” said Anthony Greenberg, executive vice president of development at JBG SMITH. “The introduction of new residences, restaurants and shops at 1900 Crystal Drive, combined with our recently delivered retail and entertainment district just about a block away will more than double the concentration of street-facing retail amenities on Crystal Drive. The thriving, mixed-use environment will allow people to easily walk from their home or office to their favorite restaurants and amenities – cementing National Landing as a destination both day and night.”
