Commercial
The area includes a multi-level indoor shopping mall, the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City (also known as the Pentagon City Mall). On the west side of the Fashion Centre is the mixed-use development of Pentagon Row, which includes a grocery store and many smaller specialty stores and restaurants in the midst of high-end apartments. Pentagon Row features an outdoor ice rink during the winter and a free outdoor concert series on the plaza in the summer. Additionally, a third shopping facility, Pentagon Centre, is located to the east of the Fashion Centre across Hayes Street.
Pentagon City also is home to the DEA, TSA, and other office buildings housing various other businesses. Given the proximity to The Pentagon, many are Defense-related businesses. The DEA Museum is nearby on Army Navy Drive.

Famous quotes containing the word commercial:
“The home is a woman’s natural background.... From the beginning I tried to have the policy of the store reflect as nearly as it was possible in the commercial world, those standards of comfort and grace which are apparent in a lovely home.”

“A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
