Located in Norfolk, Virginia, its name is an acronym for Joint Army Navy Air Force which refers to the original investment group that was composed of retired and active duty military personnel.
JANAF was built at the north-east corner of Military Highway and Virginia Beach Boulevard on property which had formerly been used as an airfield. It currently sits across Virginia Beach Boulevard from The Gallery at Military Circle, an indoor mall built in the 1970s.
