CrowdStrike moved into new office space in Redmond, Wash., the cybersecurity software company confirmed on Wednesday.
The company is subleasing 34,873 square feet at Studio 7500, a single tenant office building at 7500 166th Ave. NE., according to figures in Broderick Group’s Eastside Office Market Report for the second quarter.
“Washington state is an important part of CrowdStrike’s business and our office there serves as a strategic technology hub supporting Engineering Operations and Sales & Customer Support, complementing other major development centers across the company’s global footprint,” a spokesperson for Austin, Texas-based CrowdStrike told GeekWire.
The company, which employs roughly 10,000 people globally, does not break out headcount by region. The spokesperson said employees will use the new Redmond office as needed, in support of a “remote friendly environment.”
CrowdStrike previously occupied space in Kirkland, Wash.
The Studio 7500 space was previously occupied by Volkswagen, according to Broderick Group.
CrowdStrike announced plans in May to lay off 500 employees. Founder and CEO George Kurtz wrote at the time that the company was evolving how it operates as AI was “reshaping every industry.”
Last year, a flawed update to CrowdStrike’s Falcon cybersecurity platform affected 8.5 million Microsoft Windows devices, impacting airlines and other enterprise businesses in an extraordinary global IT outage.
