The location of Amazon, Inc's second headquarters. Also known as Metropolitan Park because of it's proximity to the park of the same name.
Amazon held a contest in 2017-2018 to find a location for their new second headquarters. Eventually, Crystal City and Pentagon City, in Arlington, Virginia were chosen. The complex consists of two towers, each with a height of 22 stories, as well as a revamped Metropolitan Park featuring native plants and community spaces. The park also contains a large monument recognizing Queen City, a majority Black settlement that was bulldozed in the 1940s to construct a highway ramp for the Pentagon. Construction began in early 2020 and continued through the pandemic. The facility opened in 2023. There are numerous businesses on the ground floor, including the Celebree School, South Block Juice Bar, Conte's Bike Shop, Good Company Doughnuts, Maker's Union Pub, Peruvian Brothers, District Dogs, and Hustle Cycle and Strength. There are also plans for locations for Taqueria Xochi and Mae's Market and Cafe.
