Is "Headquarters" a singular noun or a plural one? The company headquarters are/is located in Connecticut.
Depends whether "headquarters" is singular or plural. If you're talking about the headquarters of one company (singular) for example, you would say: The headquarters of Company X is in Location Z. If it's 2 or more companies (plural) then: The headquarters of Companies X and Y are in Location Z.
Headquarters would most likely be plural when the word is used to refer to the people. For example, if the important people from headquarters were coming to inspect the troops in some outpost somewhere, it would be "HQ (Headquarters) are coming on Thursday at noon," or similar.
According to the CambridgeGEL, headquarters has the same singular and plural form, but HQs is the plural of the abbreviation of "headquarters". Aren't both statements contradictory?
headquarters / headquarter The firm's headquarters / headquarter is located at London Headquarters must be in plural forms??

Here's is a more appropriate example: The meeting will be held this Friday, May 15, at 6pm in/at the installations of "CyberTrades" (an office of a business that sells computers) in/at "Coworking Madrid" ( A building and the headquarters of the organization called "Coworking Madrid," inside of which the office of the computer business is located).
