We have moved our headquarters to Miami, Florida. — Palantir (@PalantirTech) February 17, 2026 Palantir, which has faced criticism for its role in expanding government surveillance by utilizing artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology, was the largest publicly traded company in Colorado. The Colorado Sun shared further: Founded by billionaire Peter Thiel and its CEO Alex Karp, Palantir was in the news this month after activists behind the “Purge Palantir” database publicized the company’s donations to two of Colorado’s Democratic members of Congress. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow of Aurora and Sen. John Hickenlooper vowed to donate the funds to immigrant-rights groups. According to Palantir’s latest annual report released Tuesday, the company changed its principal executive office address to 19505 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 2350, in Aventura, which is about 20 miles north of Miami. The report also noted that the Denver location, at 518 17th St., is its former address. Gov. Jared Polis said he was not aware of Palantir’s move before it was announced. “I was not notified,” he said during a news conference Tuesday in his office at the Colorado Capitol. “I don’t know what the announcement means. Obviously, what I would be looking into is: Does it affect any jobs here in Colorado?” Polis said he believes there were as many as 600 people directly or indirectly working for Palantir in Colorado. “I have requested a meeting with executives of the company,” he said.

Earlier this month, the Council — with the backing of Citadel founder Ken Griffin and Related Companies founder Stephen Ross — announced the “Ambition Accelerated” initiative, which will feature advertising and branding aimed at encouraging decision-makers to build or relocate to South Florida, from West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale to Miami.
