The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that Mercedes-Benz is considering relocating its U.S. headquarters from Montvale, New Jersey to Atlanta.

Company officials may make an announcement about its plans as early as Tuesday at the company’s president’s reception with employees.

The German luxury automaker company is said to be in the market for more than 200,000 square feet of office space and has zeroed in on Atlanta's Central Perimeter business submarket for the relocation, according to a source.

The move would create 1,000 jobs.

The carmaker is also considering the Research Triangle Park location in North Carolina as a new home base in the U.S.
