By Jessica Kronzer

Booz Allen Hamilton, the largest government information technology contractor in the D.C. region, is moving its global headquarters from McLean to Reston, Virginia.

Booz Allen said the relocation is intended to better the employee experience and cut down on operating costs, according to a Monday news release.

Thousands of employees who work in the D.C. region will be relocated to a new facility at The Row at Reston Station, keeping Booz Allen’s home base in Fairfax County.

Work to renovate the space for Booz Allen is scheduled to begin in summer 2026 and the new headquarters is expected to open in the fall of 2027.

“We continue to invest in an innovative, optimized Booz Allen,” Chief Operating Officer Kristine Martin Anderson, said in the news release. “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.”

The Washington Business Journal reported Booz Allen’s new headquarters represents a 27% reduction in footprint from its McLean offices, which span across five buildings at 8283 Greensboro Drive in McLean.

The company’s current headquarters will be decommissioned in 2028.

The new offices will be located at 1870 Reston Row Plaza and include multiple floors of 1800 Reston Row Plaza.

Booz Allen employees 35,000 people globally, with roughly 14,000 of those employees based in the D.C. region.

The company reported a revenue of $12 billion for the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2025.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
