JBG SMITH Properties (NYSE:JBGS), a leading owner of high-quality, mixed-use properties located in the Washington, DC market, announced today that Starbucks, The Black Squirrel and six additional restaurants and retailers will open at RTC-West, a vibrant mixed-use development immediately adjacent to Reston Town Center and planned Metro station on the Silver Line.

“We are excited to bring this collection of restaurants and retailers to RTC-West,” said Jay Klug, EVP of Retail at JBG SMITH. “In keeping with our goal of providing our tenants and the Reston community a diverse option of restaurants and retail, these tenants will enhance an already lively RTC-West.”

Starbucks signed a lease for more than 2,100 square feet. The Black Squirrel, an old-school neighborhood gastropub, has acquired a 3,500-square-foot space. Other retail tenants include Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant, Nando’s Peri Peri, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill, Forever Nails, Punjabi by Nature, Honeygrow, and BGR The Burger Joint.
