Editing Navy Yard Redevelopment (section)

== Corporate Campus ==

The Navy Yard's corporate campus has attracted major employers seeking large sites with modern amenities in an urban setting. GlaxoSmithKline's North American headquarters, opened in 2013, occupies a LEED Platinum-certified campus that established the Navy Yard as appropriate location for corporate facilities. Urban Outfitters' campus, adapted from historic naval buildings, provides distinctive setting for the retailer's creative workforce. These anchor tenants demonstrate that the Navy Yard can compete with suburban alternatives for major corporate users.<ref name="pidc"/>

Smaller companies have joined these anchors, attracted by the concentration of talent, amenity-rich environment, and distinctive character that the Navy Yard provides. Technology, life sciences, and creative firms have established operations in spaces ranging from renovated historic buildings to new construction. The diversity of tenants creates resilience that dependence on any single industry would not provide. The Navy Yard's corporate ecosystem demonstrates that former industrial sites can support knowledge-economy employment when thoughtfully developed.<ref name="gallery"/>
