Amazon completed the first phase of its $2.5-billion HQ2 in Crystal City, Va., this month, but the 2.8-million-sq-ft second phase remains on hold. The online retail giant is asking state officials to deliver the first round of incentive payments for the mega-development, sited across the Potomac River from the nation's capital.
Known as Metropolitan Park, phase one of Amazon’s second headquarters includes a 2.1-million sq ft office complex, more than 50,000 sq ft of retail space and businesses. The project also includes more than 175 native trees and plantings, and offers public art installations, walking paths, places to rest, a children’s garden and a play area.
