I'd bet their still trying to finalize the details of the process itself, and don't want to make an announcement until they have details to tell people (especially those in Fairfax) about who is moving and a general timeline.

It'd cause more questions than answers if they just announced their new campus and left it at that.

Why is this such a secret? I'm confused.

DH spent years in M&A for a major corp. All work will cease while everybody speculates. This goes on for months until the thing is announced. Then it starts all over again.

I think it would be stupid to build this expensive fancy pants new campus, and not make it the main headquarters.
