A partnership between the developer and Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) first proposed the development — which would have been anchored by a new arena for the NHL’s Washington Capitals and NBA’s Washington Wizards — in December of last year. Completion of the project, including a global corporate headquarters for MSE, a media studio, a practice facility for the Wizards, performing arts venue and an e-sports facility, was scheduled for the end of 2028. According to JBG Smith, “discussions between Monumental, Alexandria and the Commonwealth of Virginia have been terminated.”   Shortly after JBG Smith’s announcement, MSE and Washington, D.C.

In a press release, the developer says that “the opportunity was derailed largely due to partisan politics.” About a week before these announcements, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb wrote a letter to MSE informing the organization that …
