The office, which accommodates about 400 employees, spans 82,000 square feet across four floors. After its merger with Vornado in 2017, JBG Smith needed more space than its former Chevy Chase office afforded. In November 2019, they relocated 400 employees to four floors and 82,000 SF of 4747 Bethesda Avenue, a new trophy office building located in the heart of Bethesda Row downtown.
The mixed-use development includes a new 14-story office tower along with 7,000 SF of ground level retail, a new Dean and DeLuca luxury grocery store and improvements to Reed Street park and bike path. The building received LEED Gold certification on February 24, 2021.
JBG’s in-house architects and designers collaborated with Chicago-based Partners by Design on the interiors, Washington, D.C.-based firm Shalom Baranes Associates Architects on the building, New York’s Morris Adjmi Architects on the pavilion, and Portland, Ore.-based ZGF Architects on the building’s lobby.
