Corporate Office Properties Trust announced Thursday that it acquired a large office building in Vienna, Va., for about $83 million.
The 10-story building, known as Metro Place II, accommodates 240,400 square feet of Class A office space that is 100 percent leased.
COPT, based in Columbia, is an office real estate investment trust that primarily owns buildings leased by U.S. Government agencies and defense contractors, most of which are engaged in defense information technology and national security.
Metro Place II is in a mixed-use area known as Merrifield that is served by the Metro system and adjacent to the Washington Beltway interchange with Interstate 66.
Last month, COPT acquired a Baltimore office building at 250 W. Pratt Street. It paid $63.5 million for the 24-story, 368,200-square-foot building that is 95 percent leased.
