Microsoft Corp. will open a sales headquarters in Arlington, expanding its presence in Northern Virginia, the tech giant’s president of U.S. regulated industries, Toni Townes-Whitley, announced Tuesday.
Microsoft — which announced in May 2020 that it would invest $64 million to expand in Reston Town Center in western Fairfax County, creating 1,500 jobs — will operate out of the Commonwealth Tower, located at 1300 Wilson Blvd. in Arlington, Townes-Whitley said in a statement.
The office space, which will undergo construction with plans to open in mid-2022, will be home to Microsoft’s U.S. regulated industries team, including Microsoft Federal.
