UnitedHealth Group is moving its long-time corporate headquarters from Minnetonka to nearby Eden Prairie , with plans to occupy the same buildings as the company ’ s Optum division ... As with other corporations , the move reflects how UnitedHealth Group needs less space , the company says , as more work has shifted outside of traditional office space since the start of the pandemic .
“ UnitedHealth Group offers many ways for our teams to structure how and where work gets done ,” the company said in a statement .
The Minneapolis-St . Paul Business Journal , which first reported the headquarters shift , reported in March that UnitedHealth Group had decided to not renew the lease on the current headquarters at 9900 Bren Road . UnitedHealth ’ s main office will move to a complex of three company-owned buildings on Optum Circle in Eden Prairie .
“ The Optum Campus offers many amenities and plenty of space to meet our current needs , while providing room for future growth ,” the company said in a statement .
UnitedHealth Group employs about 18,000 people in Minnesota , Landree said . The company runs UnitedHealthcare , which is one of the nation ’ s largest health insurers . Optum is the company ’ s division for health care services including pharmacy benefits management , direct patient care and IT / health care consulting .
