JBG SMITH breaks ground on pair of multifamily towers

JBG SMITH has started constructed on a pair of multifamily towers at 2000 and 2001 South Bell Street, Arlington, Va.

The planned mixed-use development is expected to bring 775 rental apartments and nearly 27,000 square feet of retail to the heart of National Landing.

Global architecture firm KPF designed 2000 South Bell Street to be a modern, 25-story glass tower with 355 multifamily units situated above approximately 15,000 square feet of street-level retail. The adjacent 2001 South Bell Street was designed by international design practice STUDIOS to be a 420-unit, 19-story tower that emphasizes architectural verticality with a bold, green-glazed brick façade and approximately 10,000 square feet of street-level retail. SK+I will serve as the architect of record for both towers.

Plans for both buildings include stylish rooftop amenity spaces with unobstructed, panoramic views of National Landing and the Washington, D.C., skyline, as well as pools, fitness cen
