Henry Long is a native Virginian. He was born in Arlington, Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Business Administration in 1959. The fact that, during those college years, he spent his summers working with field surveying crews and in residential construction throughout the Northern Virginia region later proved to be significant. After completing college, he entered the Air Force where he spent several years years serving as a pilot with the Strategic Air Command. While on that active duty and later, while a Reservist with the Military Airlift Command, he entered the commercial and industrial real estate brokerage field. In 1968, he co-founded the brokerage firm of Long and Foster with Wes Foster where he served as a Partner and senior corporate officer until 1979. During that time, he made his entry into the development field with land and apartment building developments in Fredericksburg and Manassas and industrial and office building developments in Fairfax and Reston. When Merrill Lynch attempted to buy the company in 1979, he took the opportunity to sell his half of the company to Wes Foster and created the Henry A. Long Company to pursue commercial development.

During the early eighties, he continued his land and building development activities, completing the apartment projects that had been initiated prior to his sale of Long and Foster as well as industrial buildings in Merrifield and the Westwood Office Park and several associated buildings therein. In 1985, the 1100-acre land acquisition and design work for the Westfields Corporate Center began. One of the largest and best office parks in the Washington region, Westfields' ultimate build-out was planned to be eighteen to nineteen million square feet - an amount equal in area to the initial office square footage build-out of all of Tysons Corner.
