hood and expect it to offer customers a unique and com- pelling reason to return again and again,” said Amy Rice , senior vice president of retail leasing at JBG SMITH. “In Na- tional Landing, we are focused on cultivating engaging places that create lively communities and exciting experiences, for both visitors and residents, and this means striking the perfect balance between entertain- ment, culinary, service, and essential retail.” The Grace and Reva include a total of 808 multifamily apartments and 40,000 s/f of street-level retail. Reva, the southern tower, comprises 471 apartments across a 27-story building that is situated along- side The Grace, the 337-unit, 26-story northern building.
At the center of the two new mixed-use buildings, JBG SMITH has created a retail-lined, pedestrian-friend- ly street under year-round stringed lighting, which will serve as an activated connec- tion between 18th and 20th Sts. The intersecting woonerf will be shared by pedestrians, bicyclists, and low speed mo- tor vehicles and expand the options for outdoor dining, community activations, and neighborhood programming. JBG SMITH is also including a number of neighborhood- oriented improvements that will benefit the entire commu - nity. These include enhanced streetscapes, a grand stair- case connecting to public open space, public bike facilities, and more. MARE
