JBG SMITH (NYSE: JBGS), a leading owner and developer of high-quality, mixed-use properties in the Washington, DC market, in partnership with the country’s largest adult social sports company, Volo Sports, has opened Club Volo at National Landing, a temporary-use recreational site featuring beach volleyball courts in the heart of National Landing. Volo Sports believes in the power of promoting a social, active lifestyle for people of all ages, and Club Volo is a great step toward that mission in the Arlington Community.
Located at 223 23rd Street, the new recreational site features four lit beach volleyball courts planned food and beverage options in addition to on-site restrooms. Volo is programming the site with the signature community sports activities the company is known for, including organized league play, open community time, court rentals, corporate wellness activations, regional tournaments, youth play, and daily options. The site is expected to be further transformed to include temporary community pickleball courts next spring.
“As we continue to pursue our complete vision for National Landing, we are always assessing our portfolio and looking at how we can best serve the neighborhoods where we operate,” said Amy Rice, SVP of Retail Leasing at JBG SMITH. “Our pop-up partnership with Volo Sports not only expands upon the vast public spaces we are adding to National Landing but works to actively build community in the area. We look forward to seeing residents, neighbors and visitors out on the courts!”
“If you’re a long-time Volo player or it’s your first time playing – come check out our new beach volleyball courts at National Landing,” said Giovanni Marcantoni, Founder of Volo. “Our partnership with JBG SMITH at National Landing not only allows our teams an incredible space to play in but it’s also been a tremendous source of support for our partner nonprofit, Volo Kids. We’re so excited for our next season here in the neighborhood.”
This partnership with Volo Sports expands upon JBG SMITH’s ongoing placemaking efforts in National Landing that have led the charge in creating meaningful places meant to connect communities and enhance the lives of those that live, work, or visit them. Last year, JBG SMITH welcomed visitors to Water Park, a 1.6-acre dining destination comprising 11 different food and drink concepts, and Dining in the Park, a novel culinary experience set among more than an acre of greenery, housing renowned Seven Reasons’ chef Enrique Limardo’s new concept, Surreal.
