Verizon's corporate headquarters may be based in New York City, but the telecom giant has another big presence about 30 miles to the west.
Verizon's recently-renovated operational headquarters are located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The office complex, known as One Verizon Way, can accommodate 6,000 employees.
Verizon moved into the space in 2005. The most recent round of renovations began in 2016 and wrapped up in 2017.
Business Insider visited the space and took a tour with Verizon's Executive Director of Global Real Estate Joe Rossi.
Here's a look inside Verizon's Basking Ridge campus:
Verizon's operational headquarters takes up 138 acres and consists of seven interconnected buildings. The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge surrounds the campus, which means that employees often spot turtle and bird eggs around the site.

Verizon set up shop in its Basking Ridge compound in 2005. Previously, AT&T and Pfizer occupied the space.

The campus now also features a hotel called The Ridge, which doubles as a learning center for Verizon employees. The Ridge boasts 170 rooms and is exclusive to Verizon employees and their partners — it's not open to the general public.
