With the opening of Amazon HQ2 drawing nearer and nearer, it's about time you'd be looking for a place to live in the National Landing area. Pentagon City, Potomac Yard, and Crystal City have some places to stay already, but soon there will be loads of more options - Here's what's coming!

As of writing, there are several plans to rezone and add 975 units to the 36-acre, 1670-unit RiverHouse - all of which are currently on hold. Sitting in between South Lynn Street, Army Navy Drive, and South Joyce Street, JBG Smith eyes this spot in Arlington County to have 126 two-over-two units, 124 townhouses, 30,000 square feet of retail, and 725 apartments. It is estimated that these two six-story buildings that span roughly 83,000 square feet would be an affordable purchase for households that are part of the 60% area median income (AMI) - making it a rather friendly and accessible place for anyone.

The Milton is an 11-story building set to house about 15,541 square feet of retail and 253 residential units come 2024. As it is currently being erected on 1220 S Fern Street, this Kimco Realty-helmed building is also looking to see similar structure of its kind to surround Pentagon City. With 17 acres left to play with, Kimco Realty is looking to turn the land into 200 hotel rooms, 705,000 square feet of office space and 346,000 square feet of retail just right after the leases expire in about a decade.
SK+I Architecture has plans underway to have a 19-story mixed-use building to go alongside Verizon's at 400 11th Street South. This new structure is poised to house 10,745 square feet of ground-floor retail, 306 residential units, 149 slots for vehicle parking, and 123 slots for bicycle parking. To add, twelve of the units in this new building are committed to staying affordable for 30 years, so better look out for that.

Spanning across South Eads Street and 18th Street, the Crystal House apartments (now under the acquisition of the Nonprofit Washington Housing Conservancy that's co-founded by JBG Smith) is set to expand as per expansion plans of former owner Roseland Residential Trust back in 2019. If that were to proceed, we're looking at an additional 1,200 parking spaces, two parks, six buildings, and 816 units overall.

JBG Smith has plans for two buildings to be used for mixed-use development, replacing the vacant structures at 1900 Crystal Drive and 1851 S Bell Street. The replacements would be a 26-story building (with 339 residential units, 18,060 square feet worth of retail, and a pool on the second floor) and a 27-story building (with 472 residential units, 14,440 square feet worth of retail, an indoor-outdoor amenity at the 27th floor, and a roof terrace at the 21st floor). Expected to be available and ready by 2023, the units in these buildings would mostly be duplex in style, with the units spanning from studios to three-bedroom units. Between the buildings, there are also plans to put a multi-modal and pedestrian-friendly woonerf that has a new park and single-story retail thanks to COOKFOX lead by Torti Gallas. The Crystal Mall parking lot would also be replaced by a 289-space garage for the residence, 811 slots for bicycles, and 350 shared spaces.
