Reston-based IT contractor MetroStar Systems leased a larger 37,844-square-foot office space in Reston Town Center ahead of its merger with Tysons startup Steampunk, planned for Q3 2026. The expanded headquarters supports growth in defense and national security sectors and complements the retention of Steampunk's Tysons office.
