Booz Allen Hamilton to relocate global HQ to Reston

McLean-based Fortune 500 government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton announced Monday that it is relocating its global headquarters from McLean to a newly constructed facility in Reston.

The company will occupy the entirety of the nearly-finished 220,000-square-foot building located at 1870 Reston Row Plaza, as well as multiple floors in the recently completed 322,000-square-foot adjacent building at 1800 Reston Row Plaza.

Comstock Holding Cos., which is leasing the space, stated that the total leased space to Booz Allen is approximately 310,000 square feet. The two LEED Silver trophy office towers are part of its The Row at Reston Station development.

The financial terms of the lease were not disclosed, and neither Booz Allen nor Comstock immediately returned requests for comment. It is unclear how many employees will be relocated.

Booz Allen said the move was intended to reflect the evolving needs of the company’s business, upgrade and enhance the “employee experience” and streamline operating costs. The company said it needed flexible spaces that can enable and accelerate its advanced technology capabilities.

“We continue to invest in an innovative, optimized Booz Allen,” said Booz Allen Chief Operating Officer Kristine Martin Anderson in a statement. “Our new headquarters will provide our people, partners and customers with upgraded resources to build the technologies that support national missions while rightsizing our facilities footprint.”

Booz Allen expects its new headquarters to open in fall 2027, following an interior buildout that is scheduled to begin in summer 2026. The company’s current office at 8283 Greensboro Drive in McLean will be decommissioned in 2028.

“Booz Allen has been a top employer and business leader in the Washington metro area for decades,” said Tim Steffan, chief operating officer of Comstock, in a statement. “The Row at Reston Station reflects the best of Northern Virginia’s economy, tech talent and modern conveniences, and we are honored to welcome Booz Allen as part of our community.”

Booz Allen posted $12 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025, up 12% from the previous year, with 98% of that coming from government-related work, according to The Wall Street Journal.

In May, the company announced it would cut 2,500 jobs by the end of June as the Trump administration slashed federal spending. In October, the company announced it was launching another round of layoffs after a weak quarter, citing earlier federal contract reductions and an ongoing slowdown in federal funding. However, CEO Horacio Rozanski did not specify how many positions were being cut.

Booz Allen has not said whether the workforce reductions are connected to the headquarters relocation.

As of Sept. 30, the firm employed 32,500 people globally.
