JBG Smith to Convert Vacant Arlington Office Buildings to Hotel, Apartments

JBG Smith has received approval from Arlington County to convert more than 550,000 square feet of vacant office space across two National Landing office buildings into a 195-unit apartment building and a 344-room, dual-branded hotel.

“2100 and 2200 Crystal Drive are a testament to the success of Arlington County’s Adaptive Reuse Policy, which will breathe new life into these buildings and bring new hotel rooms, residents, and amenities to National Landing,” said Matt Ginivan, Co-Head of Development at JBG SMITH.

JBG SMITH plans to convert 2200 Crystal Drive into a multifamily building featuring 195 residences. The design process is nearing completion, and construction will start by the end of 2025. The firm is also under contract to sell the adjacent 2100 Crystal Drive to a third-party developer. The developer will transform the building into a new 344-room, dual-branded hotel featuring lifestyle and extended-stay brands.
