A company that helps thousands of companies around the world manage their personnel and finances is planning a move westward along the Silver Line corridor.
Workday will relocate its existing office in Tysons to Reston Town Center, where it has signed a lease for all of the eighth and ninth floors at 1818 Library Street, property owner and developer BXP announced last Thursday (Oct. 2).
First reported a day earlier by the Washington Business Journal, the lease will give Workday a total of 51,204 square feet of space, more than tripling the 15,000 square feet it currently occupies at 8180 Greensboro Drive, Suite 500, in Tysons.
Those floors were previously filled by Meta Platforms, according to the WBJ. As of June, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms shed two-thirds of the 75,000 square feet it leased at Reston Town Center in 2019.
With the signing, the 1.1 million square feet of office space at Reston Town Center is now 98% leased, according to BXP.
“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,” BXP Vice President of Leasing for the D.C. Region Erin Cotter said in a press release. “We are pleased that the opportunity — the only multi-floor block remaining at Reston Town Center — aligned with Workday’s timing and we are excited to welcome them to the building.”
According to the release, Workday’s planned relocation and expansion is part of a “continued investment in supporting its growing government customer base in the region.”
Founded in March 2005, Workday provides software powered by artificial intelligence technology to other businesses for human resources and financial management purposes. The platform is used by more than 11,000 organizations around the world, including over 65% of Fortune 500 companies.
The company, which has been public since 2012, employs more than 19,500 people and has its corporate headquarters in Pleasanton, California, per its website.
According to the WBJ, Workday anticipates relocating its employees to Reston in the spring of 2026. It’s unclear whether the company plans to hire more workers, but a spokesperson told the WBJ that it’s seeking the “flexibility to scale” as its customer base in the D.C. region grows.
Workday’s Tysons office is now being advertised as available for lease starting April 1, 2026 for a monthly price of $41 per square foot.
The office is part of a two-building Greensboro Park complex constructed in 1987, per Fairfax County records. The office park’s parking lot was approved for redevelopment as multifamily housing with retail in 2014, but the two high-rise buildings — which would accompany, not replace the existing offices — have yet to materialize.
Instead, the county is currently reviewing a proposal to install temporary padel courts on the lot until development commences. Originally submitted in April, the application is slated to go before the Fairfax County Planning Commission for a public hearing on Dec. 3.
