relocate
Move somewhere new
Relocate means to move to a new place.
The word usually implies a significant move—changing cities, countries, or premises—rather than shifting something across a room: The company relocated its headquarters to Austin, We're relocating for my wife's job.
The noun is relocation: relocation expenses, job relocation.
