Amazon invented a new neighborhood in Virginia for its HQ2 site. Here's what it could actually look like.
Amazon's National Landing headquarters will stretch 4.1 million square feet, with the goal of accommodating 25,000 new employees.
The new headquarters will likely be located at Pen Place, a development site in Pentagon City.
One of the centerpieces of National Landing will be a 130,000-square-foot shopping and entertainment space known as Central District Retail.
Construction on the neighborhood's "retail heart," which includes specialty stores, grocers, and restaurants, is set to begin by the end of the year.
The district will be anchored by a 49,000-square-foot theater called the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.
JBG Smith plans to build 750 new housing units at the renovated 1900 Crystal Drive, a multifamily apartment building.

The developer is also updating 1800 South Bell Street, one of three existing properties that Amazon will occupy.
The tech giant will take up all of the office space at 1770 Crystal Drive, a 272,000-square-foot building.
New Amazon arrivals will have the option to rent or purchase homes at The Bartlett, a 23-story luxury apartment complex with a private Whole Foods entrance.
Virginia's agreement with Amazon includes up to $295 million for transportation projects, including additional entrances at the Crystal City and Potomac Yard metro stations.

Locals can access the second Crystal City metro entrance from a public plaza at Central District Retail.
By the time the sites arrive, employees and locals may have grown accustomed to the new name.
