JBG SMITH Properties is a real estate company that owns and manages office buildings and apartments, mostly in the Washington, D.C. area. Its main tenants are government agencies, government contractors, and people who live in its residential buildings. The company is heavily concentrated in National Landing, Virginia — the neighborhood Amazon chose as its second headquarters.

JBG SMITH makes money by collecting rent from office and apartment tenants. It operates almost entirely in the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, with a portfolio valued at roughly a few billion dollars in assets. Its proximity to Amazon's HQ2 campus is its clearest competitive edge, as the ongoing buildout is expected to bring thousands of workers and demand for nearby housing and office space. However, weak office demand nationally and a negative operating margin are real near-term pressures the company must manage.
