It was just over two years ago that Capital One, after conducting a search for appropriate construction space with the help of real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle, settled on and acquired a large parcel of land owned by West Group. "We have 28 acres inside the Beltway," company corporate media director Tatiana Stead tells GlobeSt.com. "We're at the intersection of I-495 and Rte. 23, near Tysons Corner." This state-of-the-art office complex includes a 500,000-sf parking garage, a dining facility and a fitness center. And there are also a bevy of seldom seen office compound offerings such as tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, and a video conferencing center. An onsite car wash is also in the works.

The sprawling property leaves plenty of room for growth, as it is capable of accommodating up to four additional structures. Capital One has not yet released information on any future development plans it may have for the remaining land. The holding company continues to operate other offices in three other Virginia cities, as well as in California, Florida, Idaho, Massachusetts, Texas, and Washington. There are also Capital One locales in France and Great Britain.
