Berkshire Hathaway Comes to Innsbrook Technology Zone

BHE GT&S, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, is moving its headquarters to Innsbrook.

The former Capital One complex, two class A buildings with roughly 192,000 square feet, is nestled on a 23-acre office park and will provide the energy giant a campus-style headquarters. The $20.75 million purchase from Capital One was completed earlier this month.

Henrico’s Daniel J. Schmitt, Brookland District Supervisor, said in a press release, “We are excited to congratulate BHE GT&S on expanding its corporate headquarters in the heart of Innsbrook.” He added, “BHE GT&S’s continued investment in Henrico County speaks to the company’s confidence in our pro-business climate and reliable workforce pipeline. The decision to take advantage of the Technology Zone at Innsbrook is illustrative of the county’s commitment to supporting new and exciting business growth.”

Our corporate services sector in Henrico continues to thrive, thanks to our deep commitment to providing businesses the tools they need to succeed in today’s marketplace and offering a skilled labor pool, unbeatable connectivity, and central location. This is the second of recent investments in the Innsbrook Tech Zone. This announcement comes on the heels of the EAB investment of over $6 million and more than 200 jobs, adding to their longstanding presence in Henrico.

Innsbrook was also recently recognized as one of the best places to live in America by Stacker. Read more about Innsbrook in our Quality of Life Report.
