Hewlett-Packard plans to leave Boise as part of its ‘global location strategy’
Hewlett-Packard is leaving Boise.
The company, known for its personal computers, laptops, and printers, told the Idaho Statesman by email Thursday that it plans to leave its site at West Chinden Boulevard by the end of 2027.
HP said the move is part of its effort to better align the company’s real estate footprint with its “global location strategy.”
“We value our longtime presence in Boise, and we are deeply committed to treating our employees with respect and care,” the company said in a statement. “Decisions that impact people are some of the most difficult decisions any company makes, and we do not take them lightly.”
A spokesperson did not respond to questions about how many people would be laid off or when.
BoiseDev first reported Thursday on an internal memo sent to employees that said executive leadership had identified eight sites, not including Boise, as core hubs that the company would prioritize for hiring and investment.
HP built its sprawling former campus at 11311 Chinden Blvd. in 1980.
It manufactured printing products there for years before ending manufacturing and renting some of the space to call centers and other businesses. In 2015, the company split into HP Inc., which sells printers, ink and personal computers; and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which sells data storage, software and servers. The Statesman reported in 2017 that both companies still employed people on the campus, though HP Inc. had the most.
The 200-acre property, which has eight buildings, was sold to the state of Idaho for $110 million in 2017. The state in turn leased some of the space back to HP.
The state Department of Administration, which manages state property and leases, told the Statesman Friday by email that HP is now in its first option to extend its lease for a period of five years, and it’s set to expire at the end of 2029.
“We have not received an official notice from HP,” Jenni Stoy, spokesperson for the Department of Administration, said. “If they provide the contractual 12-month notification to relocate, we’ll work with other state agencies to occupy the buildings HP plans to vacate.”
