Booz Allen Hamilton Anchors Reston Row with HQ Move

Booz Allen Hamilton, a major federal contractor, is set to relocate its headquarters from Tysons Corner to Reston, Virginia. The move signifies a major shift in the Northern Virginia business landscape, with Reston emerging as an increasingly attractive hub for large corporations. The company will occupy the entirety of a new nine-story building in Comstock Companies’ Reston Row development, solidifying its presence in the region.

The decision to move was influenced by the appeal of Reston Row’s modern amenities and strategic location. A key element of the deal involves the construction of a pedestrian bridge connecting the office buildings, enhancing accessibility and creating a more integrated campus environment. This infrastructure investment underscores Reston’s commitment to fostering a pedestrian-friendly and vibrant urban center.

This relocation is expected to have a significant economic impact on Reston, bringing thousands of employees and stimulating local businesses. The move also reflects a broader trend of companies seeking office spaces that prioritize employee well-being and collaboration. Reston’s mix of urban and suburban qualities, combined with its access to talent and transportation, makes it a compelling choice for businesses looking to thrive.
