JBG SMITH Acquires Tysons Dulles Plaza

Three building, 15-acre office campus with partial redevelopment potential in line with JBG SMITH’s value-creation expertise

JBG SMITH (NYSE: JBGS), a leading owner, operator, and developer of high-quality, mixed-use properties in the Washington, DC market, has acquired Tysons Dulles Plaza, a 15-acre office campus in the heart of Tysons, Virginia.

The three-building campus encompasses approximately 500,000 square feet of offices and 1,553 parking spaces. Tysons Dulles Plaza is walkable to the Silver Line’s Spring Hill Metro station and immediately adjacent to Route 267, the Dulles Toll Road. It benefits from Northern Virginia's continued attraction of major corporations and government contractors drawn by the region's highly educated talent pool, excellent transportation infrastructure, and robust business ecosystem.

JBG SMITH intends to re-entitle and redevelop one of the three office buildings for residential use. The other two buildings will be enhanced and modernized and remain in long-term operation for office tenants.

“Notwithstanding regional economic headwinds and the negative impact of remote work on the office sector, we see distress leading to extremely attractive office investment opportunities for the first time in more than a decade,” said George Xanders, Chief Investment Officer at JBG SMITH. “We are actively exploring additional office investments, similar to Tysons Dulles Plaza, especially where we can apply our proven mixed-used redevelopment expertise.”

JBG SMITH’s acquisition of this multi-building office park aligns well with its track record in transforming similar office environments via redevelopment, repositioning, and placemaking demonstrated across the DC metro area – most recently in National Landing.

“Our recipe for success in National Landing has informed our blueprint for investing in and redeveloping underperforming assets elsewhere in the region,” said Evan Regan-Levine, Chief Strategy Officer at JBG SMITH. “In National Landing we were able to reduce the stock of operating office buildings and transform many of them into new residential and retail offerings – aligning with lower levels of net demand for office – while also improving the desirability of the neighborhood. We see the same opportunity at Tysons Dulles Plaza.”

JBG SMITH intends to seek similar new investments in the market that offer the most accretive returns and that align with its strategy and competitive advantages including well-located office, such as Tysons Dulles Plaza, at historically favorable pricing.
