Anduril is expanding in the Seattle area with a new office in Bellevue, Wash.
The defense tech giant leased 39,851 square feet at Skyline Tower through a sublease with Meta, according to a recent report from Broderick Group.
A spokesperson with Anduril confirmed that the company is taking one floor, and is keeping its existing office in Seattle that opened in 2020.
Anduril has about 375 employees in the Seattle region.
The company, based in Southern California, just raised $2.5 billion to fuel development of its AI-powered hardware and software for military applications. It also recently partnered with Meta on a VR/AR project for the U.S. Army.
Anduril is among more than 100 companies that have satellite offices in the Seattle region, tapping into the area’s robust tech talent pool.
Several other companies have opened new offices in Bellevue recently, including OpenAI, Shopify, Snowflake, and Zoom.
Bellevue’s Central Business District has a commercial office vacancy rate of 17%, according to Broderick — flat compared to last year, and up from 3.3% in 2019.
