National Landing is an area in Northern Virginia comprising parts of the Crystal City and Pentagon City neighborhoods of Arlington County and the Potomac Yard neighborhood in the city of Alexandria.[1] The cross-jurisdictional neighborhood was branded in 2018 as a part of local economic development plans for Amazon HQ2.[2][3] The subdivision includes the Crystal City Metro station as well as the future Potomac Yard station.[4] A pedestrian bridge will be constructed connecting National Landing to Reagan National Airport.[5]
