WASHINGTON — Coworking space company WeWork has signed a lease for four floors totaling more than 83,000 square feet in CEB Tower at Central Place, WeWork’s first co-working space in Rosslyn.

WeWork has other Northern Virginia locations in Crystal City and Tysons Corner, a total of seven locations in the District, and its recently opened location on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park.

WeWork will occupy floors 25 through 28 of the 31-story building, which developer JBG Smith delivered early this year.

“WeWork is excited to partner with JBG Smith on our first location in Rosslyn at 1201 Wilson Boulevard. The demand we’ve experienced for this location has been unprecedented, and we look forward to welcoming new industries into the WeWork community,” said WeWork’s Alexis Miller.

With the WeWork lease, the building is now 93-percent leased.

CEB Tower, whose namesake tenant is now Gartner after the research firm acquired it last year, and Accenture are other big tenants.

WeWork also recently acquired a Dupont Circle building for $136.5 million through a partnership with The Meridian Group and will convert part of the building to a new coworking space when the current tenant, law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, relocates to its new K Street headquarters next year.

America 250: How people ordered their ready-to-assemble homes from a catalog

For decades, Americans could browse a catalog, choose a home and order it by mail. Sears, Roebuck and Company was a prominent manufacturer of mail-order homes. The company sold about 70,000 to 75,000 homes from 1908 to 1940, according to the Sears Archives. Its catalogs offered more than 400 different house styles and the listed prices could range from around $200 to $6,000. Customers even had the option of designing their own home and submitting the blueprint to Sears.
