Guidehouse, a leading consultancy and solutions provider to the public and commercial sectors, has announced a new global headquarters operation at Tysons Corner in Fairfax County. The company is investing $12.7 million to establish the state-of-the-art location. Guidehouse will create more than 1,000 new Virginia jobs over the next three years, and the site will house more than 1,500 employees following its opening later this year.
Guidehouse is a top 10 consulting firm in the U.S. and the largest consulting firm with equal scale in integrated commercial and public sector capabilities. The new headquarters at 1676 International Drive will accommodate recent growth and increase in demand for Guidehouse’s services.
“Importantly, the building has been re-imagined to include an open air conservatory, and green spaces for outdoor gatherings that align well with Guidehouse office standards for a post-pandemic work environment,” said Charles Beard, Chief Operating Officer of Guidehouse. “The proximity to fresh food dining options in the Boro, access to childcare, and commuting in a sustainable way are all important factors in supporting the wellbeing and creativity of our teammates and their families.”
Guidehouse chose the Fairfax County location for its quality healthcare, access to post-graduate academic institutions, historically strong public and private school advanced programs of learning for dependent children, and the county’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority to secure the project for the Commonwealth and will support Guidehouse’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP), which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities.
“We are very excited to formally announce our new headquarters location in the heart of this vibrant business district in a fantastic location,” said Scott McIntyre, Chief Executive Officer of Guidehouse. “We take pride in our role as a responsible corporate citizen are tremendously pleased to invest in and build a deeper rapport with the Fairfax County business community. The new space is designed with our employees in mind to be enjoyable, to foster collaboration and innovation, and allow our business ample room for continued growth, positioning Guidehouse for the future.”
