Is Northern Virginia Becoming the Center of the Greater Washington Business Universe?

October 26, 2011

Program

Since 2007, there have been six major corporate national relocations in the United States, with five of those companies selecting Northern Virginia as their new headquarters.These are just the tip of the iceberg. During this same period there have been countless small and mid-size companies that have moved to Northern Virginia - including many companies that have relocated from Maryland and DC. The influx of new businesses has been impressive, but we are also seeing major companies which are currently based in Northern Virginia, such as Raytheon or Accenture, choosing to stay in Northern Virginia - often moving up to value and taking advantage of the market conditions. On Wednesday, October 26, a Panel of nationally-known experts looked at some of the major relocations both to Northern Virginia as well as within Northern Virginia, and discussed how continued development, transportation improvements, public policy and other factors will impact corporate relocations to the region. They also discussed the changes in office space requirements and what will be the trends for the future.

Panelists

Jim Creedon, Executive Vice President, Leasing, Vornado
Jerry Gordon, President and CEO, Fairfax County Economic Development Authority
Matt Richardson, Global Head of Architecture, Design & Construction; Head of Real Estate, Hilton

Transportation improvements to Gallows Road, Lee Highway and direct access to the HOT Lanes will further enhance the desirability of investments in Merrifield.
