Where is Berkshire Hathaway headquartered?

Berkshire Hathaway's corporate headquarters is located at 3555 Farnam Street in Omaha, Nebraska 68131, within a building commonly known as Kiewit Plaza. Despite Berkshire's $1 trillion market capitalization, the holding company occupies a relatively modest floor of a mid-rise office building with fewer than 30 full-time corporate employees. Warren Buffett has worked from this Omaha address for his entire career and deliberately kept corporate overhead minimal — there are no sprawling campuses, executive dining halls, or luxury headquarters.

This fiscal prudence at the corporate level is a defining element of Berkshire's culture and operating philosophy. The Omaha headquarters is where capital allocation decisions are made, where acquisition targets are evaluated, and where the annual shareholders' meeting — drawing tens of thousands of attendees each May — is held at the CHI Health Center arena. Greg Abel has confirmed no plans to change this model or relocate corporate functions as he assumes leadership of the holding company.

Beyond Omaha, Berkshire Hathaway corporate maintains secondary offices in Des Moines, Iowa (closely associated with Berkshire Hathaway Energy); Irving, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and internationally in Cologne (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), and London (UK), supporting insurance, energy, and international financial operations. In 2026, BRK Tech established a San Francisco headquarters as the base for Berkshire's new franchise-wide technology organization.

The operationally significant locations belong to Berkshire's wholly owned subsidiaries, each of which maintains independent headquarters and field operations. BNSF Railway's HQ is in Fort Worth, Texas, with freight operations across 28 US states and two Canadian provinces. GEICO's primary HQ is in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with major service centers in Tucson AZ, Buffalo NY, and Fredericksburg VA. BHE is headquartered in Des Moines. Precision Castparts operates from Portland, Oregon. Pilot Flying J's network of 750+ travel centers spans North America from its Knoxville, Tennessee base. General Re is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, with 40+ offices worldwide.

Berkshire's corporate concentration in Omaha means field sales reps targeting the holding company should anchor Central US coverage. However, because virtually all operational decisions are made at the subsidiary level, effective territory planning must follow the subsidiaries — not the parent.

Insurance-focused vendors should map to GEICO's MD/AZ/VA/NY footprint and General Re's Stamford CT base. Rail technology vendors should focus on Fort Worth (BNSF) and the 28-state rail corridor. Energy and grid technology vendors should prioritize Des Moines (BHE). Manufacturing vendors should cover Portland OR (Precision Castparts), Maryville TN (Clayton Homes), and Knoxville TN (Pilot Flying J). AI and enterprise software vendors should additionally consider BRK Tech's San Francisco office as a potential franchise-wide entry point. Collectively, Berkshire as an account spans virtually every major US metro — making it a multi-territory, multi-stakeholder sell requiring a coordinated subsidiary-by-subsidiary approach alongside outreach to BRK Tech for cross-portfolio opportunities.
