Washington, DC Metropolitan Area


WASHINGTON, DC METRO

At mid-year 2016, the Washington, DC metropolitan regions


economy continues to grow at a fast clip. The regions unemployment
rate is among the lowest among major metropolitan areas in the
nation, ending the second quarter of 2016 at 3.8%. Meanwhile, job
growth remains well above the historical annual average of 36,000
jobs. As of June 2016, the Washington, DC Metro economy had
added 75,000 net new nonfarm jobs since June of 2015, the fourth
highest number of new jobs among major markets after the New
York, Los Angeles and Dallas metropolitan regions. The annual
job growth rate of 2.4% (year-over-year) has actually eclipsed job
growth rates in the New York, Chicago and Boston metropolitan
regions. And job growth was well distributed throughout the region,
led by Northern Virginia with nearly 32,000 new jobs, Suburban
Maryland with 22,900, and the District of Columbia with 8,800 jobs.
The balance of the 75,000 jobs were in outlying areas.

Economic Indicators

Breaking down the jobs data by sector, growth in office-using


employment continues to promise increased demand for office
space in the coming quarters for the Washington, DC Metro region.
As it has done during the regional economic recovery from the
negative effects of sequestration starting in early 2015, Professional
and Business Services led the way in job creation with 17,600 new
positions since June of 2015. Perhaps the most encouraging data
comes from the federal government sector, which after losing
nearly 20,000 employees in the Washington, DC region from
2012-2014, has recently ramped up hiring and added over 7,000
positions since the nadir in total federal employment in June 2014.
Such a positive economic backdrop should go far in dispelling
any perceived notions of a slowdown in the local economy due to
uncertainty surrounding the upcoming presidential elections no
evidence supporting this scenario is present in the jobs data.

The outlook for the Washington, DC Metro region from an investment


standpoint continues to be bullish. Year-to-date office sales volume
is $2.8 billion, less than volume in the previous two years, but the
reduction in volume is a function of the type of product being
brought to market. While there is plenty of global demand for wellleased, well-located core assets, there is a shortage of supply of
these assets in the sales pipeline, as both offshore and institutional
long-term holders have scooped up such assets with vigor over the
past several years. With more value-add and opportunistic assets
as well as large suburban portfolios hitting the market, average
values should start to slowly come down compared to the previous
two years. With turmoil continuing in the Middle East and much
uncertainty remaining in Europe, the gateway markets in the U.S.
and the relative safety and stability of the Washington, DC Metro
region in particular, will continue to be a go-to location for global
capital hungry for commercial real estate.

This robust job growth bodes well for improved leasing fundamentals
in the coming quarters, but the tightening will continue to be slow in
most asset classes. A significant amount of vacancy still remains to
be absorbed: 53 million square feet (MSF) is currently vacant in the
regions 300 MSF-inventory, which equates to a 17.9% vacancy rate.
Net absorption year to date is 830,000 square feet. Tenants are
largely seeking quality whether that is new construction, renovated
Class A space or the best of the Class B market. Quality space close
to transit and amenities is where the vast majority of the positive net
absorption is taking place. After several years of deliveries below
historical averages, new supply is finally ramping up to meet the
demand for quality space. Currently 6.8 MSF is under construction,
mostly in the District of Columbia and in Northern Virginia.

Washington, DC
The Washington, DCs labor market added 9,500 new jobs between
January and May 2016, an additional 7,100 new jobs than were added
during the same period in 2015. Within the office-using sectors,
Professional and Business Services led the way, adding 3,300 new
payrolls between January and May 2016 of which, the Legal
Services comprised 2,100 new jobs and the Federal Government
adding 1,100 new jobs in the same time period.

Market Overview
Retrained market trends throughout the second quarter of 2016,
left the Washington, DC market with torpid conditions. Leasing
activity remained tepid, closing nearly 2.0 million square feet
(MSF) of new leases year-to-date, 761,629 square feet (SF) of
which closed during the second quarter 2016. With the lions share
of large law firm lease expirations all but spoken for through 2019,
mid-year 2016 leasing activity declined by 37.5% since second
quarter 2015. DC Government signed the largest new lease of the
quarter, taking 51,299 SF at 955 LEnfant Plaza, SW, followed by
MakeOffices, which signed a 48,880-SF prelease at The Wharfs
800 Maine Avenue, SW.
Despite lackluster second-quarter leasing activity, several large
leases that signed in prior quarters helped fuel positive absorption
for the first half of 2016, as tenants moved into their new space.
Year-to-date, the DC market experienced 526,193-SF positive
absorption, 475,307 SF of which was from second quarter 2016.
Law firm Bracewell took occupancy of their 52,851-SF office at the
newly delivered 2001 M Street, NW, and the American Association
of University Women moved from their previously owned-occupied
building to leased space at 1310 L Street, NW delivering a net
positive of 55,528 SF to the market. However, net absorption was
not shared evenly across all submarkets nor classes. Class B and
C product experienced negative year-to-date absorption, closing
with -83,708 SF and -26,698 SF, respectively. However, as tenants
have continued their flight to quality particularly as asking rents
have experienced nearly flat growth Class A inventory registered
739,599 SF of positive absorption for the first half of 2016.
Overall vacancy for the second quarter 2016 remained nearly flat,
with only a slight dip of 30 basis points (BP) year-over-year. As
the next wave of development kicked off, and existing product
was taken offline, Class B overall vacancy declined by 70 BP since
second quarter 2015. With vacancys slow decline, overall asking
rents have continued to hold, closing the second quarter at $51.74
per square foot (PSF), up 1.1% year-over-year.

Outlook
Relocations are expected to continue to dominate leasing activity,
particularly as concession packages remain at peak levels, thus
affording tenants the opportunity to offset the cost of relocation.
With tightening within the core Class B and C markets, and nearly
flat rental growth, many tenants with expirations in the next 12 to
18 months can expect to find favorable market conditions to tradeup, helping to chip away at lingering large blocks of Class A space,
further tightening already declining vacancy

Core market.

The Core market accounted for 64.3% of all new leasing activity in
the second quarter 2016 as well as 66.1% of all new leasing activity
for the first half of the year a total of 1.3 MSF of the 2.0 MSF of
new leases signed between January and June 2016. Core market
Class B new leasing activity alone accounted for 306,833 SF in
the first half of 2016. Across the entire Washington, DC market,
new leasing activity during the second quarter was comprised of
small and mid-sized tenants with sub-60,000-SF requirements.

The largest Core market lease of the second quarter 2016 was
the renewal by Thompson Reuters for 49,206 SF at 1333 H Street,
NW, in the East End which is undergoing extensive renovations.
Clark Hill signed the second-largest lease in the market during the
quarter, a 38,884-SF sublease at 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.
The law firm will relocate from 601 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.
While the Core market has certainly felt the effects from the bulk
of large, law-firm lease expirations through 2018most of which
have already been addresseda handful of non-legal sector,
non-government agencies are expected to execute leases before
year-end 2016, helping to boost leasing activity for the year.

Class B overall vacancy slipped by 50 BP to 9.9%, a result of
redevelopment of Class B and C product expected through 2022
which has caused some tenants to shift their focus east. East
End Class B overall vacancy fell by 250 BP to 16.1%. The East End
began to experience some market softening in recent quarters
due to relocation of several federal agencies to more costcompetitive, non-core locations. In addition, law firms chasing
new product deliveries have turned their focus to the next wave
of new deliveries slated for the CBD, as was the case with Miller

fewer large tenants took occupancy and several federal tenants
that have become price-sensitive vacated for non-core options.
However, the softening conditions do not necessarily signal a

With current concession rates holding at peak levels, tenants


remain focused on a flight-to-quality. Relocations are expected to

among Core market Class B and C product and nearly flat rental

While fundamentals in the Core market were softer in the


first half of 2016 compared to those in the first half of 2015,
the overall strength of the CBD and East End submarkets
remains healthy. The Core markets growing tenant base
from expanding industries and emerging sectors shows no
signs of slowing. With several leases expected to be finalized
before year-end 2016, new leasing activity will continue
to pick up. Additionally, the increasingly fluid blending of
the CBD and East End submarkets into the Core market
is expected to accelerate over the next 12 to 18 months as
tenants particularly those seeking larger blocks of space
are displaced by future redevelopments in the CBD and
look to the East End for existing options. While the leasing
momentum experienced in 2015 dialed back in the first half
of 2016, positive absorption, declining vacancy, and steady
rents are expected to persevere throughout the second half
of 2016.

With the exception of a strong performance from the Wharf


development at 800 Maine Avenue, SW, the non-core submarkets
experienced relatively slow activity in the second quarter of
2016. Leasing activity for the non-core market as a whole totaled
201,600 square feet (SF), and only four direct leases exceeded
10,000 SF: MakeOffices and Van Scoyoc signed at 800 Maine
Avenue, NW for 43,900 and 21,900 SF, respectively; Acumen
signed for 14,800 SF at 440 1st Street, NW in Capitol Hill/NoMa;
and LearnZillion signed for 12,000 SF at 4001 Brandywine Street,
NW in Uptown. The non-core market accounted for 33.9% of all
leasing activity in the Washington, DC office market during second
quarter 2016. Despite the relative slowdown in leasing activity,
net absorption in the non-core market ended the quarter with
264,700 SF of positive demand. The two largest move-ins during
the second quarter were the District of Columbia Government
occupying nearly 117,600 SF at 250 E Street, NW and the National
League of Cities/National Association of Counties moving into
the newly delivered project at 660 North Capitol Street, NW.

The non-core submarkets continue to be a great value play for


many of the tenants in the District of Columbia. Average asking
rents for non-core product are nearly 13% lower than those in
the core markets of the East End and CBD. Year-over-year, the
average asking rent has ticked downward 1% to $47.73 per square
foot (PSF) on a full-service basis (FS). Vacancy rates are another
notable story. Government tenants continue to be pushed out
of core East End product due to the $50.00 PSF/FS rent cap,
leading to increased competitiveness for GSA leasing activity
in non-core product. The vacancy rate across the non-core
market has declined 50 basis points (BP) from 13.8% a year ago
to 13.3% at the end of second quarter 2016. Southwest, Capitol
Riverfront and Capitol Hill/NoMa have all experienced positive
net absorption over the last four quarters totaling 140,000 SF,
223,200 SF, and 50,900 SF, respectively.

activity, and in each of those two quarters tepid leasing activity
has been coupled with negative net absorption. But its not all
bad news for West End/Georgetown. The submarket continues
to have the strongest market fundamentals among non-core
submarkets. Overall asking rents are nearly $3.00 PSF/FS
more than those in the second highest non-core market, overall
vacancy (11.4%) is the lowest of all markets in the District of
Columbia except the CBD, and the submarket remains the most
land-constrained market in Washington, DC, so that true, new

The West End appears to be experiencing a renaissance as


several new development projects are set to change the
landscape of the commercial market and reinvigorate the
area. Of note are: the redevelopment and repurposing of
1255 22nd Street, NW into a multifamily (MF) project; 2501
M Street, NW which is adding 60 Class A MF units and is
rumored to have signed Nobu as the high-end retail tenant;
EastBancs projects on Squares 37 and 50 which will bring
over 250 MF units, a 21,000 SF library, 10,000 SF of retail
space, a fire station, and a squash club.

Capitol Hill/NoMa was one of the strongest markets in second


quarter 2016, registering 146,600 SF of positive net absorption
and 97,600 SF of gross leasing activity. With only 10,000 SF of
leasing activity from federal government tenants, Capitol Hill/
oMa have recently captured a higher percentage of leasing from
the private sector, much of which is small-to-mid-size tenants.
Median deal size for the quarter was 4,364 SF, solidifying the
small-tenant market for Capitol Hill/NoMa. The largest deal of
the quarter was that of Acumen which signed for 14,750 SF at
440 1st Street, NW after an extensive search to remain close to
the Capitol Building. The GSA signed the largest renewal of the
quarter, a 10,000 SF lease at 121 M Street, NW.
The well-located assets within the Capitol Hill/NoMa area drove
much of the market activity in the second quarter. 660 North
Capitol Street, NW delivered in May, with the National League of
Cities and National Association of Counties occupying 76,900
SF. The Marine Engineers Benefits Council renewed for 6,900 SF
and Liberty Mutual signed a new deal for 4,400 SF at 400-444
North Capitol Street, NW, while AT&T took occupancy at 601 New
Jersey Avenue, NW.

Vacancy in the Capitol Hill/NoMa submarket rose slightly from


the previous quarter, ending second quarter 2016 at 13.3%, while
average asking rents declined 1.3% year-over-year to $49.75
PSF/FS. While the market experienced positive net absorption
in the second quarter, move-ins offset the relocations out of the
submarket during the first quarter; year-to-date net absorption
totals 9,700 SF.

Outlook

Expect more federal moves out of the core submarkets


to the emerging markets such as NoMA as it offers new
production that gives the GSA the efficiency desires at
an attractive price point below prospectus rent caps.
Capitol Hill/NoMas proximity to the Capitol,
transportation options, and growing amenity base will
continue to remain attractive for private and public
sector tenants alike particularly those who are
seeking core-quality assets at non-core pricing.

At mid-year 2016, demand across both Capitol Riverfront and


Southwest remains strong. The Capitol Riverfront submarket
experienced 97,500 SF of positive net absorption and 71,800
SF of gross leasing activity at mid-year, while the Southwest
submarket experienced over 182,000 SF of gross leasing activity
and registered 147,000 SF of positive net absorption during
the same period. Each quarter had a clear winner though.
The Capitol Riverfront submarket registered 104,400 SF of
positive net absorption in the first quarter only to follow up that
strong performance with negative 6,900 SF of net absorption
in the second quarter. The opposite occurred in Southwest:
net absorption was a negative 30,700 SF in the first quarter;
however, a number of significant relocations resulted in 147,000
SF of positive net absorption in the second quarter. The Wharf in
Southwest was home to the two largest private-sector deals of
second quarter 2016 in non-core submarkets: MakeOffices and
Van Scoyoc signed for 43,900 SF and 21,900 SF, respectively.

The Capitol Riverfront/Southwest submarket has experienced


increased activity throughout the first half of 2016 and vacancy
in has declined 80 BP year-over-year to end second quarter 2016
at 12.3%. But the market has become unpredictable; demand
from the private sector continues to be spotty (as it was over the
last four quarters) in what was traditionally an emerging market
chasing government tenants.

Outlook
The combined submarket also continues to be one of the
most active development locations across the Washington,
DC Metropolitan area. Many developers continue to vie
for new land in the submarket to take advantage of the
emerging market. Along with multifamily development
in the area around Nationals Park and along the Capitol
Riverfront, the development of The Wharf and Skanskas
99 M Street, SE is positioned attract new-found activity.

Methodology & Definitions


Methodology

Explanation of Terms

Market statistics are calculated


from a base building inventory
made up of office properties
deemed to be competitive in the
typical Washington, DC office
market. Single-tenant buildings and
privately-owned buildings in which
the federal government leases space
are included.
Generally, owneroccupied
and
federally-owned
buildings are not included. Older
buildings unfit for occupancy or ones
that require substantial renovation
before
tenancy
are
generally
not included in the competitive
inventory. Vacant space is defined
as space that is physically vacant and
available immediately. Sublet space
still occupied by the tenant is not
counted as vacant space.

Total Inventory: The total amount


of office space (in buildings greater
than 10,000 square feet) that can be
rented by a Fourth party.
New Space Vacant: First generation,
never-occupied office space in
newly constructed or substantially
renovated buildings, being actively
marketed by a landlord.
Relet
Space
Vacant:
Secondgeneration,
unoccupied
office
space being actively marketed by a
landlord. (Space that is marketed but
largely occupied is not counted as
vacant space.)
Sublet Space Vacant: Secondgeneration, unoccupied space being
actively marketed by a tenant.
(Sublet space that is marketed but
still occupied is not counted as
vacant space.)
Total Space Vacant: The sum of
new, relet, and sublet space that
is unoccupied and being actively
marketed.
Vacancy Rate: The amount of
unoccupied space (new, relet, and
sublet) expressed as a percentage of
total inventory. (Total Space Vacant
divided by Total Inventory.)

Total Space Available: The total


amount of space, both vacant and
occupied, being actively marketed
for lease by a tenant or landlord.
(This includes space that is currently
occupied but marketed for future
availability.)
Availability Rate: The total amount
of space being actively marketed for
lease (both vacant and occupied)
expressed as a percentage of total
inventory. (Total Space Available
divided by Total Inventory.)
Absorption: The net change in
occupied space between two points
in time. (Total occupied space in the
previous quarter minus total occupied
space in the current quarter, quoted
on a net, not gross, basis.)
New/Relet/Sublet Absorption: The
net change in occupied new, relet,
and sublet space between two
quarters.
Total Absorption: The net change
in total occupied (new, relet, and
sublet) space between two quarters.
New Leasing Activity: The sum of
all square footage underlying any
leases between two quarters. This
includes pre-leasing activity as well
as expansion. It does not include
renewals.
