JBG SMITH Acquires Tysons Dulles Plaza
BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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. About JBG SMITH JBG SMITH owns, operates and develops mixed-use properties concentrated in amenity-rich, Metro-served submarkets in and around Washington, DC, most notably National Landing, that we believe have long-term growth potential and appeal to residential, office and retail tenants. Through an intense focus on placemaking, JBG SMITH cultivates vibrant, highly amenitized, walkable neighborhoods throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Approximately 75.0% of JBG SMITH's holdings are in the National Landing submarket in Northern Virginia, which is anchored by four key demand drivers: Amazon's headquarters; Virginia Tech's $1 billion Innovation Campus; proximity to the Pentagon; and our placemaking initiatives and public infrastructure improvements. JBG SMITH's dynamic portfolio currently comprises 11.9 million square feet at share of multifamily, office and retail assets, 98% of which are Metro-served. It also maintains a development pipeline encompassing 8.9 million square feet of mixed-use, primarily multifamily, development opportunities. JBG SMITH is committed to the operation and development of green, smart, and healthy buildings and plans to maintain carbon neutral operations annually. For more information on JBG SMITH please visit

Fairfax County police identify body of missing teenager found in retention pond after car crash; investigation underway
TYSONS, Va. () — Police are investigating the death of a teenager found in a retention pond in Fairfax County, not far from where he had crashed his car. On Wednesday night, Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) identified a body that was found as 19-year-old Kyle Coleman, of Gainesville, who had been reported missing out of Prince William County over the weekend. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Police recover body from pond in Tysons; family of missing teen gather On Friday, June 6, at around 11:15 p.m., first responders were called to Galleria Drive and Tysons Boulevard for a 911 activation call from an iPhone. There, they saw an empty 2019 blue Toyota Yaris that had crashed into a tree near the roadway. FCPD said the Yaris was heading westbound on Galleria Drive when it crossed into the eastbound lanes and then left the road, hitting a tree. Witnesses there said they saw a person run from the car and 'may have left the scene in another vehicle' right after, according to FCPD. Officers searched the car and the nearby area but didn't find anyone involved in the crash or evidence of foul play. Thermal imaging technology was also used, but it didn't yield any results. ORIGINAL COVERAGE: Police looking for man who went missing after car crash in Fairfax County On Saturday, June 7, the Prince William County Police Department (PWCPD) received a missing person's report for Coleman. On Sunday, June 8, PWCPD received a video showing Coleman before the crash. PWCPD then escalated Coleman's case to Critically Endangered Missing. On Monday, June 9, the car crash was linked to Coleman's disappearance, and FCPD reached out to PWCPD to coordinate and help in the investigation. Both agencies began searching for him but it did not yield any results. On Tuesday, June 10, FCPD searched again on foot, using its Real Time Crime Center, drones, and other technology. Crews searched the woods and nearby water features and retention ponds. That's when Coleman's body was found submerged, surrounded by thick brush. FCPD: Ex-Youth summer program leader charged with secretly recording minors FCPD said that through reviewing surveillance footage, it was determined that Coleman left the scene of the crash, and detectives were able to confirm that nobody else was involved in the crash. Morehouse College, the school Coleman studied at, released a statement regarding his death. May we honor Kyle's life by holding tightly to community, ambition, and peace.
