EAB

Challenge

In Spring 2021, GRP completed a regional Request for Proposal for VEDP. The response was developed for a company that was considering a headquarters campus.

Partners

Henrico County + VEDP

Competition

Virginia successfully competed with other existing EAB locations across the country for the project. As the process progressed, GRP learned EAB had acquired several companies that would compete for the expansion.

Solution

GRP provided information and data regarding the talent pool and quality of life overview for corporate executives who were not familiar with its current location.

“We are proud to have been recognized as one of the top workplaces in Richmond for each of the past six years, and providing a more flexible, hybrid workspace will strengthen our ability to attract and retain the local talent we need to continue helping our partner institutions meet the complex challenges facing the education sector,” said EAB President, Marketing and Enrollment Solutions, Chris Marett.

The EdTech company’s new location in Innsbrook was recently designated as a technology zone — a first for Henrico.

Results

• 206 announced jobs
• $6 million in capital investment
• 70,000 square feet of real estate impacted

Next Steps

To facilitate the growth, the firm plans to relocate from two locations and consolidate its Richmond-based operations into one office space at the former SunTrust Building in Henrico County.

EAB is deeply committed to the Richmond area, and we believe our long-term investment will serve Henrico County, the Greater Richmond community and our growing employee base for many years to come. Chris MarettPresident, Marketing and Enrollment Solutions
