Volkswagen Signs Lease To Move North American HQ To Reston

RESTON, VA — Volkswagen Group of America has signed a lease to relocate its North American headquarters to Reston Town Center in late 2023, according to a release.

VWGoA already leases numerous spaces throughout Northern Virginia for about 1,000 employees of the Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini brands and VW Credit, Inc. The move will consolidate all of those employees in one location.

The company has signed a 20-year lease agreement for 196,000 square feet of space as an anchor tenant in Boston Properties' new 1.1 million square foot development under construction in the next phase of Reston Town Center. The new development will include a conference center, in-building parking with provisions for 300 electric vehicle chargers, and direct access to the newly built Silver Line of Washington’s Metrorail.

“A company focused on the future of mobility needs a future-proof workspace to match those ambitions,” said Scott Keogh, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, in the release. “This space is designed from the start to be efficient, collaborative and bring our team under one roof so we can keep and attract top talent.”

“We are thrilled that Volkswagen has chosen Reston Town Center for their North American headquarters,” said

Peter Johnston, executive vice president, Washington, D.C. region for Boston Properties, said his company was thrilled to have Volkswagen choose Reston Town Center to be the home of its North American headquarters.

“Companies looking to recruit and retain the best and brightest talent continue to be drawn to Reston and Reston Town Center as the ideal location to grow their organizations," he said.
