You can’t miss the towering presence of Capital One, a global brand that is considered a leader in innovation and banking, as you drive down the Washington, DC, beltway. The landmark campus attracts employees and the community to the promise and ambition of this bank that has embraced digital capabilities to differentiate itself, redefining brand and customer intimacy.

Live-work-play is coming together seamlessly in the Capital One headquarters, encompassing an amphitheater, a biergarten, hotel rooms, a 1,600-seat corporate events and performing arts center, retail, and workspaces that all flow fluidly to enable the next waves of innovation and growth. Easy access to the Metro, ample smart parking, and a design that embraces all modes of traveling to and within the campus, including footpaths and bicycle trails, makes access to and from the buildings efficient. Once again, experience is central to the significant capital investment, and the value of a differentiated workplace is clearly embraced in Capital One’s goal of attracting and retaining top talent.

As guests arrive at Capital One’s seventh-floor sky lobby, the experience is more akin to visiting a world-class hotel or restaurant than a leading bank. Each floor is connected with interior stairs, alternating on either side of the building, to make employees on each level feel connected. Open seating areas around each staircase allow for impromptu meetings. Art and sculptures line the walls and halls are strategically placed to inspire associates and create a sense of connectedness to surrounding communities.
