MetroStar Systems Marks 10th Anniversary With Expansion to New Headquarters in
Historic Reston, VA Location



RESTON, Va., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- MetroStar Systems (MetroStar), a leader in
full-service IT and strategies for new media and social networks, has expanded
to its new world headquarters to five acres of historical land, including the
turn-of-the-century historic manor located at 1856 Old Reston Avenue, known as
the Smith Bowman House, in the heart of Reston, Virginia. The transition takes
place as the company marks its 10th anniversary.

"We reached a point where expansion was necessary to continue our consistent
pace of growth," said Ali Reza Manouchehri, CEO of MetroStar Systems.  "'Due
to our on-going expansion and increased revenue and market share, we believe
this landmark campus will suit our business needs and afford us the
opportunity for continued growth in the region."


The new headquarters on Old Reston Avenue has a rich history beginning as an
area granted to English Noblemen late in the 17th century.  It has Civil War
links to General E. Lee and his army, and ties to American commerce that
spiked throughout the area, known as Sunset Hills, in the 1920s that continues
today.


"At MetroStar we believe that our projects have the ability to shape world
history by connecting global audiences in ways never before imaginable by
harnessing the power of emerging technologies," said Robert J. Santos,
President of MetroStar.  "This historic campus is the perfect setting for
MetroStar employees -- who are among the best in the nation in their
respective fields -- to embrace history while planning for the future."


Over the last decade, MetroStar Systems has been at the forefront of the
evolution of new media technology and social media and has grown by an average
rate of 250 percent over the past three years.  It was recently ranked by Inc.
Magazine as No. 562 on its third annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the
nation's fastest-growing private companies. MetroStar was also ranked No. 70
in IT Services and No. 52 in the Washington/Arlington/Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV
market. 


"Reston straddles the Dulles Technology Corridor at the epicenter of
technology and government," said Jenni Hubacher, Marketing Manager of
MetroStar. "As the Obama administration furthers its commitment to creating an
unprecedented level of openness in government through public-private
partnerships, MetroStar's new and social media programs are rapidly becoming a
powerful incentive to effect this kind of change by engaging large amounts of
people around the globe."


In celebration of its new headquarters and anniversary, MetroStar will host a
private function on Friday, October 16 for employees, clients, and members of
the community. MetroStar continues its mission of serving the community and
participating in the culture of giving that has helped build a strong,
sustainable community in Reston, by partnering with the Marine Toys for Tots
Foundation, on behalf of which donations are encouraged from all attending
parties.
