“We reached a point where expansion was necessary to continue our consistent pace of growth,” said Ali Reza Manouchehri, CEO of MetroStar Systems. “‘Due to our on-going expansion and increased revenue and market share, we believe this landmark campus will suit our business needs and afford us the opportunity for continued growth in the region.”
The new headquarters on Old Reston Avenue has a rich history beginning as an area granted to English Noblemen late in the 17th century. It has Civil War links to General E. Lee and his army, and ties to American commerce that spiked throughout the area, known as Sunset Hills, in the 1920s that continues today.
“At MetroStar we believe that our projects have the ability to shape world history by connecting global audiences in ways never before imaginable by harnessing the power of emerging technologies,” said Robert J. Santos, President of MetroStar Systems. “This historic campus is the perfect setting for MetroStar employees — who are among the best in the nation in their respective fields — to embrace history while planning for the future.”
Over the last decade, MetroStar Systems has been at the forefront of the evolution of new media technology and social media and has grown by an average rate of 250 percent over the past three years. It was recently ranked by Inc. Magazine as No. 562 on its third annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. MetroStar was also ranked No. 70 in IT Services and No. 52 in the Washington/Arlington/Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV market.
“Reston straddles the Dulles Technology Corridor at the epicenter of technology and government,” said Jenni Hubacher, Marketing Manager of MetroStar Systems. “As the Obama administration furthers its commitment to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government through public-private partnerships, MetroStar’s new and social media programs are rapidly becoming a powerful incentive to effect this kind of change by engaging large amounts of people around the globe.”
In celebration of its new headquarters and anniversary, MetroStar will host a private function on Friday, October 16 for employees, clients, and members of the community. MetroStar continues its mission of serving the community and participating in the culture of giving that has helped build a strong, sustainable community in Reston, by partnering with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, on behalf of which donations are encouraged from all attending parties.
