JBG Smith says first phase of Amazon headquarters remains on schedule

JBG Smith announced that work on the first phase of Amazon’s new "National Landing" headquarters remains on schedule for a summer 2023 opening without interruption or delay. Amazon’s new offices at Met Park will accommodate up to 14,000 Amazon employees, including the 8,000 workers that Amazon has already hired, the company points out. JBG Smith says it continues to partner with Amazon in planning for the second phase of the development, which is expected to encompass 3.3M square feet across three office buildings and The Helix. "We are greatly encouraged by Amazon’s recently reaffirmed commitment to its second headquarters project and to hiring at least 25,000 workers at HQ2. This project continues to serve as a major catalyst for National Landing’s transformation into a global hub of innovation and a vibrant mixed-use urban community," said JBG Smith CEO Matt Kelly.
