Located at the corner of Ridgetop Circle and Nokes Boulevard, Loudoun Tech Center came into being at the beginning of the area's technology boom in the late 1980's. Radnor/Buchanan developed the 280-acre office complex, which offers a total of more than 3.5 million sf of space. In a statement on the move, SER CEO Carl E. Mergerle says CER and its staff "are pleased to be a part of one of Northern Virginia's fastest growing technology centers." He adds, "as a company, we are continuing to grow by offering the most advanced knowledge management software on the market and the decision to move to the Dullest Technology Corridor supports our long-term growth strategies." The company is an American subsidiary of Neustadt/Wied, Germany's renowned SER Systems, A.G.

SER's Knowledge Center will serve as a demonstration area for the company's SERbrainware(TM) software, as well as other high-end knowledge management products. The decision to relocate from Fairfax County to Loudoun County was an economics-driven choice, which the company revealed in June. Company officials expect the move to save SER millions over the next decade. Other company offices in the US are located in n Rochester Hills, Michigan, Norwalk, Connecticut and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Trammell Crow Company handled the transaction for both SER and property landlord Willowbrook Holdings. The monetary details of the deal are not readily available.
