Summary, model-written

2200 Crystal Drive (Crystal City, TX) is a 195-unit multifamily project under construction by JBG Smith. It is approved by Arlington County Board with entitlement year 2025. The site’s original office use is being reinhabited as housing. The record is marked 'draft' verification. The opportunity score is 0.0 due to being 'already in play: under construction, approved, or sold to a developer with housing plans.' Housing market data (ZHVI $91,238) and peer projects (e.g., 2100 Crystal Drive) are noted but not relevant to current status. No retail or traffic data is used in this assessment.

Why. Record explicitly states construction status, developer, new use, and approval. 'Draft' verification and opportunity score confirm it’s not a new opportunity. No external data added.

Where it stands. Under construction, approved, housing conversion. Not a new opportunity per record.
