VT Milcom to consolidate operations in Virginia Beach
January 20, 2015
VT Milcom, Inc., a subsidiary of VT Group, will consolidate several existing locations in Hampton Roads to 2505 International Parkway in Virginia Beach. The company will maintain its regional headquarters at 529 Viking Drive in Virginia Beach.
The new location will merge two locations in Chesapeake and one at 2700 Avenger Drive in Virginia Beach. The International Parkway facility was purchased by 2505 International LLC as an investment, and VT Milcom, Inc. will be the exclusive tenant. John M. Lee, John Lee and Associates, represented the buyer, and Lang Williams, CBRE | Hampton Roads, represented the tenant in this transaction. The seller was represented by Tony Weiss, Patrick L. Mumey and Geoff Poston of Cushman & Wakefield-Thalhimer.
The 14-acre site has an 89,445-square-foot industrial building, and the land can accommodate an additional 180,000-square-foot expansion. VT Milcom, Inc. plans to complete the consolidation in February 2015.
“VT Milcom occupies a major position in the global market,” said Warren D. Harris, director of Virginia Beach Economic Development. “The growth of their information technology presence in Virginia Beach creates excellent job opportunities for our citizens.”

The Virginia Beach Economic Development Authority has awarded an APZ-1 Economic Development Investment Program grant in the amount of $110,000 based on the capital investment of $6,527,000 in the property, improvements and machinery and tools.
The YesOceana program was established in response to the Base Realignment and Closure Commission’s recommendation to close NAS Oceana in 2005. The innovative program moves nonconforming businesses out of APZ-1 and recruits businesses that meet zoning and conformity specifications into the area. It is the only program of its kind in the country, and YesOceana now serves as a model for other localities facing problems with encroachment around air installations.
