Washington, DC Metropolitan Area

Necessary fiscal clarity coming from the federal government


added to the growing optimism throughout the region. After
nearly six years without a budget, the feds stepped up in
late 2014 with a one year budget that increased spending for
key federal agencies including the Department of Defense
and vital agencies within the Health and Human Services
Department. The passage of this budget was an inflection
point that reversed the tide of negative office-using job
growth of 2014 and led to the robust job growth that we are
currently experiencing. As of the end of the third quarter
of 2015, a follow-on two year budget has been passed that
will offer the regions largest employers a roadmap of fiscal
policy for the near term. This increases federal budget
authority by $80 billion over the caps imposed by budget
sequestration that initially hit the market in 2013. This
additional spending will be evenly split between defense and
domestic programs and will avert a debt ceiling debate and
government shutdown through September 2017. As was the
case with the budget that passed in late 2014, this two year
bill will offer fiscal clarity that will give the regions largest
employers the ability to make sound business decisions
including the acquisition of talent and the procurement of
real estate.
The regional vacancy rate for the office sector ticked
downward from 16.1% to 16.0% in the third quarter. This is
the second consecutive quarter of falling vacancy that has
followed 15 straight quarters of flat or rising vacancy. Net
absorption for quarter stands at 459,158 square feet (sf) which
brings the year-to-date total to 1.095 million sf. 5.3 million sf
is currently under construction. New and repositioned office
product continues to outperform the market as a whole
and the possibility of speculative construction in various
submarkets remains a possibility. Tenant concessions in
the marketplace remain at a highpoint. Look to when these
concessions start to tick down as the sign that leverage is
shifting back to the landlords favor.

Washington, DC

Market Overview

The District of Columbia experienced its second consecutive


quarter of stronger growth as the third quarter registered 269,000
sf of positive net absorption. Year-to-date absorption reached
519,000 square feet (sf), well outpacing the negative 489,000 sf
of net absorption seen in 2014. Still, despite positive momentum,
the District saw a 0.1 percentage point increase in vacancy quarterover-quarter from 11.0% to 11.1% due to an increase in the overall
inventory with the delivery of 601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW,
coupled with lead tenant, Arnold & Porters downsizing from its
previous location in to the new, highly efficient building.
While the East End has recently experienced increased competition
from surrounding submarkets as new developments in the Central
Business District (CBD) have lured private-sector tenants away
and the federal government continues to push agencies into lower
cost alternatives, it did still witness positive momentum in the
third quarter. The East End was home to the two largest leases
of the quarter. The Advisory Board Company signed a 500,000 sf
prelease at Douglas Developments 655 New York Avenue, NW and
the Department of Justice signed a 520,180 sf short-term renewal
at 601 D Street, NW, bumping their expiration out three years. This
resulted in 88,000 sf of positive absorption for the quarter.
The CBD was subject to its first quarter of negative absorption
in over a year, largely the result of law firm Dickstein Shapiros
downsizing of 150,000 sf in their recent renewal. Despite this,
fundamentals in the CBD have remained solid thus far in 2015. After
breaking below 10% vacancy for the first time since the downturn
in the second quarter, the submarket continued to tighten to 9.6%
overall vacancy. Of note in the CBD, Deutsche Asset & Wealth
Management is moving forward with their redevelopment of
1800 K Street, NW. The newly LEED-certified building is going
to go through a complete rehabilitation of the existing structure
with a new HVAC system, lobby, elevators, and faade. The new
construction currently has asking rents set at $46.00 - $48.00
NNN per square foot and is expected to deliver in the first quarter
of 2016.
The lone third quarter delivery in the District was 601 Massachusetts
Avenue, NW in the East End. Arnold & Porter will occupy nearly
373,000 sf of the new building.

The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan regional economy continued to


gain momentum in the third quarter of 2015. The unemployment
rate for the region stood at 4.4% as of September 2015, with yearover-year total nonfarm job growth totaling 62,800 positions. It is
evident that the region will handily surpass the historical average
employment creation of 30,000 net new jobs annually. This above
average growth that was experienced throughout the region was
also seen in the District of Columbia proper (The District or D.C.) as
the Districts unemployment rate fell to 6.7% at the end of the third
quarter of 2015 its lowest since September of 2008. A total of
10,300 new jobs were added in September 2015 compared to the
previous year well over the 8,500 annual jobs that are typical in
D.C., with 3,200 of these jobs in the office-using Professional and
Business Services sector (PBS). Included within the PBS sectors
impressive showing in D.C. is strong growth in technical services and
administrative roles as well as 600 positions in the legal sector yearover-year.

Throughout the third quarter 2015, East End continued


to experience improving market fundamentals. Despite
the vacancy rate experiencing a year-over-year uptick of
1.3 percentage points (pp), closing the third quarter 2015
at 12.3%, future blocks of space marketed for availability
declined by nearly 600,000 square feet (sf). The largest
contributor to the decline was the International Food
Policy Research Institute, which signed a lease for 101,937
sf at 1201 Eye Street, NW, and will backfill the National Park
Services space once the agency vacates.

2.0

Outlook

Though the vacancy rate remains above prerecession levels, the broadening mix of leasing
activity from consulting firms, associations and
non-profits, technology companies, and other
private-sector tenants that remain in growthmode, will help to chip away at lingering large
blocks of availability, proving that the District is
becoming more than just a government town.
Though the East End will continue to experience
competition from the CBD, particularly as more
landlords look to kick off their redevelopments,
the East Ends rich amenity base and proximity
to Capitol Hill will certainly continue to cater
to government affairs groups that value quick
access to the seat of government.

The largest lease of the quarter was signed by the Advisory


Board Company, which signed a 16-year, 500,000 sf
prelease at Douglas Developments proposed 655 New
York Avenue, NW site. The firms future relocation from the
West End submarket will allow the company to consolidate
its office functions into one building. It will also allow for
the growth of at least 1,000 new jobs in the District, per

Tenant demand for quality and efficient space has


remained high, particularly for new construction, which
closed the third quarter 2015 at over 88% leased. The only
new delivery of the quarter, 601 Massachusetts Avenue,
NW, delivered 79.0% preleased to the law firm Arnold &
Porter, which took 373,000 sf.
Overall, class A direct asking rents closed at $57.89 full
service, per square foot (psf), a $0.30 increase since
third quarter 2014. Net effective rents have continued to
remain nearly flat as concession packages still remain at
peak levels; averaging $99.00 psf for tenant improvement
allowance and 12-months rent abatement on new, long
term, class A leases allowing many tenants to justify
relocation costs. As a result, relocations continued to
dominate third quarter 2015 leasing activity, accounting
for 59.5% of total leasing.

Washington, D.C.s Central Business District submarket


(CBD) is considered one of the premier submarkets in
the United States and is currently the best performing
submarket in the District of Columbia. The vacancy rate
for the CBD ended the third quarter of 2015 at 9.6%,
handily outperforming the 11.1% vacancy for the District of
Columbia market as a whole. Net absorption has totaled
1.7 million square feet since 2010. As the submarket
continues to offer unparalleled location and discounted
rents compared to its downtown counterpart the East
End expect vacancy to remain competitive and continue
to see a dropping vacancy rate in the near future.

Looking forward, prospects for the CBD submarket


remain rosy. The scarcity of land in this core submarket
ensures that new development options will be limited to
the redevelopment of existing properties which will keep
the net new supply of inventory in balance with demand.
This, coupled with the fact that there are only 10 blocks of
existing space able to accommodate a user greater than
50,000 square feet in the CBD through 2017 and none
over 150,000 square feet, will cause the CBD submarket
to tighten further.

The West End/Georgetown submarket continued to


witness tightening market fundamentals throughout the
third quarter 2015. Vacancy rates fell 2.6 percentage points
(pp) year-over-year, closing the third quarter 2015 at 11.2%
near the 10-year historical average of 10.0%. Availability
for future vacancies also slipped since the third quarter
last year down by 8.9%, indicating that peak levels of
vacancy are in the past, at least for now. With large blocks
of space being chipped away, class A asking rents closed
the third quarter 2015 at $50.85 per square foot (psf), a
1.7% increase since the same time last year.
Though leasing activity for the quarter lacked any large
leases and were primarily comprised of small and midsize tenants from a variety of private sector industries,
absorption still remained positive, closing at positive
41,128 sf in the third quarter, and bringing the total for the
year to positive 69,808 sf. Advisory Board Companys
future relocation to 655 New York Avenue, NW upon the
buildings completion is the only move out on the horizon
that could impede some of the progress made in recent
quarters..

With the lack of any new office construction

Despite declining vacancy and positive absorption,


many blocks of space have continued to linger on the

The Capitol Hill/NoMa submarket continued to attract a


broad range of private sector tenants throughout the third
quarter of 2015. Though the submarket only accounted
for 3.9% of the Districts gross leasing activity year to date
(a total of 309,385 sf ), Capitol Hill/NoMa did capture a
handful of leases greater than 10,000 sf all of which were
private sector tenants. Fox News signed the largest lease
of the quarter, opting to renew at 400-444 North Capitol
Street, NW for 64,605 sf, maintaining its proximity near
the Capitol. Save the Children Federation signed a 58,768sf lease, the second largest lease of the quarter, at 825
North Capitol Street, NW, relocating the non-profit from
the CBD.
Though NoMa is often considered somewhat of a
government enclave offering GSA tenants new, class A
buildings that meet federal security standards and rent
thresholds several developers are looking to capitalize on
the growing private sector tenant base. Though there is
still a number of proposed mixed-use developments in the
pipeline, other developers have opted to move forward
with their projects. Stanton Development broke ground
on its mixed-use project at 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE,
and Property Group Partners continued construction on
the decking portion over I-395 for its residential, retail, and
office development known as Capitol Crossing, which will
better connect East End and Capitol Hill upon its delivery
in 2018. Construction also continued at Republic Square II
(660 North Capitol Street, NW), which the National League
of Cities and the National Association of Counties are
expected to take a combined 81,000 sf upon completion.
Overall market fundamentals remained healthy during the
third quarter 2015. Vacancy declined 1.7 percentage points
(pp) year-over-year, closing the third quarter 2015 at 11.4%.
The average direct class A asking rental rate remained
almost entirely flat, closing the third quarter at $53.02 per
square foot (psf), down just 1.0 % since third quarter 2014.

Outlook

Though the pending deliveries over the next


three years could potentially bring additional
large blocks of vacant space to the market,
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 .

Southwest/Capitol
Riverfront/Southeast
continues
to show signs of growth adding another 63,000 sf of
absorption in the third quarter of 2015. Year-to-date totals
in Southwest and Capitol Riverfront/Southeast come in at
102,900 sf and 62,500 sf, respectively. For a submarket
that registered negative net absorption of 437,800 sf
between 2012 and 2014, the submarket seems to have
turned a new leaf with two consecutive years of strong
positive demand. The vacancy rate continues to drop from
10.0% to 9.7%, a function of the strong leasing market.

With 70,000 sf preleased out of 550,000 sf under


construction in Southwest, rising vacancy is a definite
possibility.

The National Association of Broadcasters will be


moving to a build- to- suit office building at 1 M
Street, SE in the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood. The
building will break ground in spring of 2016 and bring
130,000 sf of office space to the submarket by 2018.
With its ever-expanding amenity base, the Capitol
Riverfront is rapidly becoming the citys full-service
entertainment district.

Several regionally competitive private sector deals are


weighing a move to SW/Capitol Riverfront. Landing
these deals could change the impression of the market
from a govenment enclave to an invreasing private

There is one building currently under construction in the


submarket is 400 6th Street, SW (also known as 500 D
Street, SW). The property, developed by Trammell Crow,
is expected to be finished by the end of this year and will
supply 341,300 sf to the submarket. Currently the project
is unleased but is expected to be very competitive for an
unprecedented amount of government deals hitting the
market in the near future.

One of the largest leases of the quarter was the 164,700


sf extension/expansion completed by CareFirst BlueCross
BlueShield at 1250 Maryland Avenue, SW. The tenant has
constantly expanded their footprint in the building after
originally taking around 100,000 sf. CareFirst has now
expanded twice in the building since the beginning of 2014
and bumped their lease term out seven years.
Rents continue to be a large driver of demand in the
submarket. Hovering around $44.00 per square foot (psf),
Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/Southeast is a strong player
for the large GSA tenants in the market. Throughout the
past couple of years, the GSA has continued to bump
out leases with short-term renewals leading to a build-up
of roll coming in the next five years. With the GSA rent
cap coupled with significant roll, the emerging markets
especially those submarkets south of the Capitol should
continue to see growth.

Most of the large blocks of available space in


Uptown are already vacant, the submarket
inventory is only 6.6 msf and there are no
buildings under construction. Because of these
conditions, even a few moderate-sized leases
over the next year will allow vacancy to trend
back downward toward its long-term average.
Smaller tech-oriented firms have shown a
preference for non-traditional loft style space.
Uptown could potentially fill the demand as this
is largely non-existent in the core markets

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

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 Space Absorption: The net
change in occupied new space
between two quarters.
Relet/Sublet Absorption: The net
change in occupied relet and sublet
space between two quarters.
