WHO WE ARE
JBG SMITH owns, operates, invests in, and develops a dynamic portfolio of high-growth mixed-use properties in and around Washington, DC. Through an intense focus on placemaking, JBG SMITH cultivates vibrant, amenity-rich, walkable neighborhoods throughout the Capital region, including National Landing where it now serves as the exclusive developer for Amazon’s new headquarters. Placemaking is a core part of our DNA—a philosophy that is as much about creating compelling experiences as it is about creating remarkable real estate. By strategically mixing high-quality multifamily and commercial buildings with anchor, specialty, and neighborhood retail along with thoughtfully planned public areas, and walkable streets, we can define neighborhoods. We also focus on flexibility and work to design unique spaces that allow us to be nimble and responsive to the changing retail climate and ever-shifting customer preferences.
JBG SMITH is deeply invested in its people. In late 2019, we moved to our brand-new headquarters, walking distance from the Bethesda, Maryland metro stop. With a design focused on embracing new ways of working, feel free to work at a standing desk or take your laptop to the outdoor terrace and work by the firepit. Need a break? Exercise at the on-site fitness center or relax with a cup of Cold Brew Coffee from our office tap. With free Bethesda Bagels every morning or the variety of fruit, snacks, and drinks available in the office kitchen, we don’t expect that you’ll ever go hungry. Competitive benefits, structured career mentoring programs, and frequent out-of-the-office team events ensure that you will be working in a collaborative environment that inspires you every day. Our flexible working schedule allows our employees to work from home up to two days a week, while our Central Bark program encourages employees to bring their dogs to work on the days they are in the office.
