CEB to Create 800 Jobs at New $147M Headquarters in Rosslyn

Arlington-based advisory company CEB (NYSE:CEB) announced Monday plans to invest $149 million in a new headquarters that will create 800 new jobs in Rosslyn.

The new “CEB Tower,” a 31-story mixed-use development, will cost $149.7 million.

CEB, a member-based advisory company that provides research and analytics to clients, will relocate its Arlington headquarters and 1,400 existing employees to the top 15 floors of the new mixed-use complex development located above the Rosslyn Metro Station in Arlington. CEB has signed an agreement to lease about 350,000 square feet in the JBG Cos. Central Place development.

The entire two-building project will include a 31-story, 525,000-square-foot office tower; a 31-story, 377-unit residential tower, an observation deck, a public plaza and 45,000 square feet of residential retail.

The move to CEB’s new headquarters is projected to occur in 2018.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Monday the Governor’s Opportunity Fund would grant the project $4.5 million in addition to $5 million from the Virginia Economic Development Grant (VEDIG).

"Virginia has proudly served as home to CEB since its move from the District in 2008,” McAuliffe said in a statement. “A new global headquarters and investment of this magnitude are tremendous testaments to the confidence the company has in Arlington County and the Commonwealth as it grows its presence internationally, and creates the workspace and technology for jobs of the 21st century.”
