Annualized rent excludes rent from signed but not yet commenced leases. The in-place monthly base rent does not take into consideration temporary rent relief arrangements. "At JBG SMITH Share" and "Our share" refer to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures. "CBRS" means the Citizens Broadband Radio Service.

While each of the three jurisdictions that comprise the DC metro area have started separate reopening processes, the health and safety of our customers, our team, our business partners, and our community remain our number one priority. Despite the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the second quarter, the DC region performed better than other gateway markets in terms of overall employment, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While our business continued to feel the effects of the pandemic, our rent collections remained steady throughout the quarter at 98.6%, 98.5% and 58.0% for office, residential, and retail, respectively. We executed or expect to execute rent deferral agreements with tenants representing $3.9 million of rents that were contractually due in the second quarter (approximately 2.9% of Total Revenue for the quarter). We are confident that these arrangements represent a worthwhile investment in the long-term survival of these tenants. While the unfolding economic downturn threatens to be significant, we take solace in the fact that in each recession over the past 30 years, the DC metro area has proven to be more resilient than other gateway markets. Our concentration in this market, where a high percentage of demand for our business is driven by Amazon, the federal government, and government contractors, should soften the anticipated impact of the looming recession, and may translate into countercyclical growth.

    Illustrative 1900 Crystal Drive ANNUAL 2018 REPORT Illustrative 1770 Crystal Drive 1221 Van Street Rooftop Illustrative 965 Florida Avenue With over 50 years of experience in the Washington, DC region, JBG SMITH is the leader in investing, owning, managing, and developing office, retail, residential, and neighborhood assets. Our creativity and scale enable us to be more than owners—we are placemakers who shape inspiring and engaging places, which we believe create value and have a positive impact in every community we touch. TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS 2018 was an extraordinary year for JBG SMITH. Our successful pursuit of the (now only) Amazon HQ2 opportunity deservedly holds first place among our accomplishments for the year. Amazon’s expected growth of 37,850 high-paying technology jobs combined with over $1.8 billion of infrastructure and education spending represent a dramatic turning point for National Landing. Approximately 43% of our total holdings are located within a ½ mile of HQ2, including 6.9 million square feet of our Future Development Pipeline, and we own approximately 71% of the office market in National Landing – making Amazon’s HQ2 decision transformational for our company. All of these holdings will accommodate a considerable We believe that amount of additional office and multifamily demand and further our Amazon’s presence, significant repositioning of the submarket, which formally commenced in December with the groundbreaking of our Central District Retail combined with the project. We believe that Amazon’s presence, combined with the recently enacted infrastructure and education spending that accompanies its recently enacted move, will change the center of gravity of the entire Washington Metro infrastructure and market in the years to come, and we are fortunate and energized to be in the middle of it.

  • Investor Day Presentation
    INVESTOR PRESENTATION NOVEMBER 2020 901 W Street (Model Unit Interior) DISCLOSURES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements contained herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Consequently, the future results of JBG SMITH Properties (“JBG SMITH”, the “Company”, "we", "us", "our" or similar terms) may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximate”, "hypothetical", "potential", “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “plans”, “would”, “may” or similar expressions in this Investor Presentation. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, performance, tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact us and our tenants depends on future developments, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity, and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and whether the residential market in the Washington, DC region and any of our properties will be materially impacted by the expiration of various moratoriums on residential evictions, among others.

  • Quarterly Investor Package
    Quart erly Investor Packag e JBGS Divid er Managem ent Letter February 23, 2021 To Our Fellow Shareholders: We hope this letter finds you healthy and out of harm’s way during these difficult times. 2020 was a year like no other. We started the year firing on all cylinders, including a host of recent and planned new asset deliveries, commencement of construction on Amazon’s new headquarters, and preparations for our next phase of development in National Landing, including the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus and 3,100 new multifamily units. While we were surprised by the pandemic and the political, racial, and social unrest that dominated 2020, we were not unprepared. There is no doubt that our business suffered like most others throughout the year, but the impact was mitigated by deliberate actions taken in prior years to fortify our balance sheet and prepare for a downturn. We are also fortunate to operate in a market that typically outperforms during downturns, especially when a single political party controls federal spending. While our portfolio performed consistently throughout the year, with rent collections and occupancy remaining relatively stable, we believe the COVID-19 downturn will continue to impact our business into 2022. Consequently, we have addressed those tenants we believe are most at-risk through the write-off of accounts receivable, rent deferrals, and straight-line rent receivables during 2020, thereby reducing the potential for negative surprises as we start 2021. Over the medium and longer term, we continue to focus intently on our planned repositioning of National Landing, the buildout of Amazon’s fast-growing HQ2, and the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus.

  • Region's Leaders Coming Together To
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Erin Weinstein September 1, 2020 202.871.9912 [email protected] Region’s Leaders Coming Together to Establish Pioneering Capital Region Rail Vision Aimed at Creating a More Unified, Competitive, and Modern Rail Network Washington, DC— The Greater Washington Partnership has launched the Capital Region Rail Vision project with support from EY, VHB, WSP, key stakeholders and leaders from Amtrak, state departments of transportation, and commuter railroads. The Vision will build upon existing plans and explore how the Capital Region can create a world-class commuter rail system within 25 years. The Vision will outline the steps needed to better connect our region, from Baltimore to Richmond, with more frequent and rapid rail service each day of the week, seamlessly spanning state borders, resulting in improved access to jobs, housing, and more equitable and inclusive growth. Relative to peer regions in the U.S., the Capital Region has superior intercity and commuter rail options. Yet, the current structure of the regional rail network is operationally and physically fragmented among several service providers and owners, straining rider connections, potentially lowering operator revenues and increasing operational inefficiencies. These shortcomings limit our ability to grow the system into a more modern and inclusive rail network. “Linking communities on both sides of the river will enhance our economic competitiveness by expanding access to opportunity,” said Matt Kelly, CEO of JBG SMITH and Greater Washington Transportation Committee Member. “Employers can recruit from a wider share of our region’s workforce, job seekers will have better access to growing employment centers, and employees will have more housing options within commuting distance.
