ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
Strategy and operations consulting in Arlington, Virginia.
Arlington County, across the Potomac from Washington, is home to the Pentagon, Reagan National Airport, Amazon's second headquarters and the corporate headquarters of Boeing and RTX.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Arlington.
The Pentagon and defense research agencies such as DARPA and the Office of Naval Research make Arlington a center for defense contracting, consulting and policy work, and Boeing and RTX moved their corporate headquarters here to be close to government customers. Amazon's HQ2 in National Landing has brought office development and tech hiring to Crystal City and Pentagon City, and Nestlé USA and AES are also headquartered in the county. Rosslyn and Ballston host consulting, association and professional-services offices along the Orange and Silver Metro lines.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Arlington management teams.
Defense and federal contractors face budget uncertainty, continuing resolutions and new procurement priorities that change which programs grow. Office vacancy, especially in older Crystal City and Rosslyn buildings, is pushing landlords toward conversion and redevelopment. Small firms compete with Amazon, large contractors and federal agencies for technical and policy talent in an expensive housing market.
