Best Project Office/Retail/Mixed-Use: Metropolitan Park, Phase 6,7 & 8

With completion of Amazon’s second headquarters in April, the Metropolitan Park project team delivered 2.1 million sq ft of space in 39 months, at budget and on schedule. As the first phase of Amazon’s new headquarters, the Arlington, Va., project features two 22-story office buildings, including below-grade parking, street-level retail, 2.5 acres of new public spaces and more than a half-mile of protected bike lanes. The project also included the tenant fit-out of the entire development, with five amenity floors and 38 floors of office space.

General contractor Clark Construction joined the Metropolitan Park project team during design development, providing cost analysis on over 200 scope items. Thanks to those early efforts, the team was ultimately able to establish a GMP at the exact cost estimated in early design development meetings.
