The former Artisphere space in Rosslyn has a new lease on life, as co-working area Spaces opened earlier this week.
Spaces is located at 1101 Wilson Blvd, in a building owned by Monday Properties. The chain’s Rosslyn location offers 303 desks in a 37,000-square-foot office space. Members can use any workstation, or can pay more to reserve one. Suites are also available for small businesses. Up to 800 members can be accommodated.
The workplace environment is rapidly changing — moving from well-starched shirts and pencil skirts to cozy knits and all-day espresso. But it’s so much more than appearance. Employees are demanding to move away from workplace formalities, and developers must come up with creative ways to accommodate these new workspace needs.
Carr Properties’ response to these changes has been to create warm and dynamic office hubs with flexible lease terms and ample amenities that create opportunities for established companies and start-ups alike. The new roll out of WaveOffice will foster a sense of community amidst a creative layout of tenant suites.

Serene Al-Momen and her team were in a different coworking office when she heard that WeWork was opening up a space in suburban Virginia. She had already seen what WeWork has to offer, so it didn’t take much convincing for her to book a tour of the new building in Tysons.
“We felt like it was a good place for the team,” says Al-Momen. “It was just perfect.”
