Workday more than triples Northern Virginia space

Global back-office cloud software company Workday recently signed a lease to occupy 51,204 square feet at Reston Town Center, representing a significant expansion of its presence in Northern Virginia.

The company will relocate employees from its current 15,000-square-foot Tysons office to the new space in early spring 2026. The move reflects Workday’s “ongoing investment in supporting a growing government customer base in the region and fostering a collaborative, connected and community-focused environment for employees,” a spokesperson said via email.

Financial terms of the lease were not provided, and the company did not answer questions about the expansion’s cost, how many employees are currently based in Reston and whether Workday will make additional hires associated with the move.

Boston-based developer and property manager BXP, which owns Reston Town Center and is leasing the space to Workday, said the new lease spans the entire eighth and ninth floors of 1818 Library St. The office portion of Reston Town Center is now 98% leased.

Headquartered in Pleasanton, California, Workday provides financial management, human resources and artificial intelligence cloud-based software services to more than 11,000 organizations worldwide, including over 65% of Fortune 500 companies. It has more than 19,500 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2025, the company earned $8.45 billion in revenue, up 16% from FY 2024.

“Workday’s new lease underscores the region’s continued growth and the unmitigated appeal of Reston Town Center, a unique destination that fosters a dynamic environment for office and retail clients,” said Erin Cotter, BXP’s vice president of leasing for the Washington, D.C., region, in a statement. “We are pleased that the opportunity — the only multifloor block remaining at Reston Town Center — aligned with Workday’s timing and we are excited to welcome them to the building.”

The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority said the expansion “signals strong demand for high-quality, mixed-use environments in Fairfax County’s Dulles Tech Corridor.”

Reston Town Center is an urban development located in Northern Virginia that is home to more than 5 million square feet of workplaces, 50 retailers, over 30 restaurants, outdoor recreation spaces and seasonal events programming.
