Amazon HQ2 Opens Doors in Virginia

First Phase of New Headquarters Complex Opens to the Public

Amazon officially opened the first phase of its second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, on May 22, 2023. The highly anticipated HQ2 project has been in the works for several years and is expected to bring numerous economic benefits to the region.

Employees, community members, and government officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the new offices. The first phase of HQ2 includes three office buildings, a two-acre park, and a variety of retail and dining options.

As part of Amazon's commitment to supporting local businesses, District Dogs became the first small business to sign a lease at HQ2. The popular dog care company will provide services such as daycare, boarding, and grooming at the new headquarters.

The opening of HQ2 is a major milestone for Amazon and for Arlington. The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity in the region. It is also expected to revitalize the area and attract more businesses and residents.
