Due to these factors, the neighborhood sees a lot of commercial activity.
 
In November 2018, online retail giant Amazon announced that one of their new east coast headquarters would be built in Crystal City. Arlington County confirmed this decision in December 2018, and Amazon officially revealed its construction plans in September of 2019.
