Washington, DC Metropolitan Area


Some Light in the Darkness
2013what a year! The Washington, DC metro region hit a trifecta weathering the rst year of budget sequestration that took billions out of the federal spend, a 19-day partial federal government shutdown, and a near breach of the nations debt ceiling. Still, somehow, the Washington DC regions ofce market ended the year in positive territory for the most part. Leasing fundamentals for the Washington DC metropolitan region as a whole were positive, albeit modest compared to past averages. Net absorption was 595,000 square feet (sf) for the year, up from the negative 1.7 million square feet (msf) in 2012 with demand coming from private sector activity. The metro region delivered 4.6 msf of ofce space over the course of the year the largest amount of deliveries since 2010. In addition, at years end we were nally witness to some bipartisan compromise in the form of a budget and spending agreement. Thus the regions ofce market is positioned for a great transition into 2014. Compounding this good news is the fact that federal spending a major driver of the regions economy is set to increase in 2014 due to a $40-billion taper to the sequestration cuts that hampered the regions economy in 2013. The recently approved budget and scal clarity that it provides may be sufcient to give the regions businesses enough condence to start hiring again and make more long-term decisions regarding hiring and the acquisition of real estate. Another interesting development is the muchimproved tone of political debate in recent weeks, a factor that could bring increased condence to the region. For example, the debate over raising the next debt ceiling has been more civil than at any point in the past three years. Whats driving the civility? Perhaps its the looming 2014 midterm elections. U.S. lawmakers may have realized that the past years political gridlock and partisan bickering have put Congressional approval ratings in the basement. A recent Gallup.com poll conducted in December 2013 indicated that a mere 12% of the public approves of the job Congress is doing. Perhaps lawmakers sense a change in strategy is needed. But despite the vagaries of policies, politics and electorate perceptions, the Washington region does soldier on. An indication of the overall health of the Washington, DC metro economy is evident in its unemployment rate that ended 2013 at 5.4% among the lowest unemployment rates in the nation for large metropolitan areas. Net job creation in the Washington, DC region during 2013 was approximately 37,000 nonfarm payrolls, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That surpassed the areas historical average of 30,000 net new jobs per year. Job growth in the region for the next ve years is expected to top 200,000 net new jobs. Of course, it remains to be seen what sort of jobs they are: the high-paying, ofce-using jobs that benetted the regions ofce market in years past, or those non-ofce using jobs in the restaurant, education and health services sectors that have made up most of the job gains in 2013. Another challenge facing the Washington DC metro region going forward is whether the demand generated by future job growth will continue to be offset by the trend towards consistently smaller square feet per worker ratio among the regions largest tenant bases the federal government, law rms and government contractors. Looking forward, ofce supply coming on line for the next four to ve years should hover in the 4 msf per year range down from the 6 msf the region has averaged in the previous 10 years. Vacancy did increase during 2013 to 14.9% - 0.6 percentage points up from 2012 and a third straight year of increases. With vacancy at an all-time high elevated 3 percentage points above the average for the past 10 years the region as a whole is expected to experience continued at rents and gaining occupancy will be the goal for owners in 2014.

Washington, DC
Market Activity
Economic conditions in the District of Columbia seem to be improving across the board. However, the areas ofce market still has a way to go before reaching full recovery. Net absorption for the fourth quarter of 2013 registered 60,138 square feet (sf), bringing the 2013 absorption total to 550,900 sf. That is only about one-third of the markets ten-year average yearly absorption of 1.4 million square feet. Modest market activity and two fully vacant deliveries caused the overall vacancy rate to rise 0.4 percentage points over the quarter to 10.6%. Average asking rental rates have remained at throughout 2013, uctuating only a few cents up or down and closing the year at $49.32 per square foot. The fourth quarter of 2013 did see a few large leases signed, and unlike in the third quarter, less than half of the top ten leases were renewals. Although deal volume was about average in the fourth quarter, there was little in the way of net growth. Major transactions inked in the fourth quarter included the 115,300 sf leased at 1099 14th Street, NW by the Washington Design Center, an amalgamation of smaller design and furniture rms. The Design Center will move from 300 D Street, SW which has been purchased by a user and will eventually be converted to a museum. With the former building now owner-occupied, the entirety of the new lease contributed to growth in the leasing market. This however, is offset by CSIS vacating 114,000 sf at 1800 K Street, NW in a move to a newly delivered headquarters which it owns at 1616 Rhode Island Avenue, NW. Another signicant fourth quarter lease was that of PricewaterhouseCoopers. The accounting rm signed for 108,600 sf at 600 13th Street, NW, which will deliver newly renovated in early 2014. Continuing a new trend seen throughout 2013, GSA leasing was very light in the fourth quarter. In one of the only GSA relocations signed in 2013, the National Nuclear Security Administration inked a deal for 87,300 sf at 1201 Maryland Avenue, SW. The agency will be relocating from 955 LEnfant Plaza, SW and expanding by a mere 6,000 sf. While minor, this expansion is a reversal of the recent GSA trend of consolidations and short-term renewals. In keeping with more characteristic GSA activity, both the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Labor Relations Authority renewed leases for 39,800 sf at 1250 Maryland Avenue, SW and 33,500 sf at 1400 K Street, NW, respectively. While ofce construction in the District of Columbia is still at below-average levels, the fourth quarter did see three new deliveries. In the CBD, Carr Properties building at 1700 New York Avenue, NW completed construction and delivered 78% preleased to architecture rm Smith Group and law rm Sullivan & Cromwell. In the NoMa submarket, two ofce buildings delivered, both fully available as of year end: Trammell Crows Sentinel Square II, a 289,500-sf ofce building located at 1050 First Street, NE and StonebridgeCarras Constitution Square Three, a 363,000-sf ofce building located at 175 N Street, NE. Nine ofce buildings remain under construction in the District of Columbia, and are scheduled to deliver in 2014 and 2015.

Market Outlook Congress has nally agreed on a budget through 2015. With more scal certainty among federal agencies, we may see more robust GSA lease activity a development that is much needed to bring the District of Columbias ofce market back to a position of health. A number of large renewals were close to execution at year-end, suggesting that the beginning of 2014 will see elevated gross leasing gures. The ofce construction pipeline slated to deliver in 2014 is 79% preleased, so large upticks in vacancy due to new deliveries are not expected. This, coupled with improving economic conditions will likely result in declining vacancy rates throughout 2014.

Submarkets
East End
Market Activity The East End experienced below-average transaction volume in the fourth quarter of 2013, registering 63 transactions compared to the 2013 quarterly average of 68 transactions. However, the submarket did experience signicant growth, registering 137,100 square feet (sf) of net absorption for the quarter, bringing the 2013 total to 175,800 sf. Growth in the submarket can largely be attributed to a single transaction, which was also the largest transaction signed in the District of Columbia in the fourth quarter. The Washington Design Center leased approximately 115,300 sf at the Franklin Court building located at 1099 14th Street, NW. Since the Design Centers previous location at 300 D Street, SW was sold to a user, the entirety of the space leased contributed to growth for the East End as well as for the District of Columbia as a whole. Thanks in large part to this deal, vacancy in the submarket ticked down 0.5 percentage points over the fourth quarter to end the year at 9.1%. Vacancy declined 1.3 percentage points since the fourth quarter of 2012 thanks to steady leasing activity and few new deliveries throughout 2013. Currently at $51.72 per square foot (psf) on a full service basis, overall asking rents in the East End increased 1.1% over the last three months of 2013. In keeping with the ight to quality trend, Class A rents increased 1.8%, while Class B and C rents decreased 1.0% and 1.3%, respectively, over the same time period. Other signicant fourth quarter leasing activity in the East End included three transactions at the soon-to-deliver 600 13th Street, NW. Union Investments 256,700-sf ofce building is currently under renovation for delivery in the rst quarter of 2014. PricewaterhouseCoopers signed a lease for 108,600 sf at the building in the last days of 2013. In addition, Chevron and the National Association for Childrens Hospitals each leased 22,600 sffull oorsat the property. While these leases will not contribute to absorption gures until the building delivers, this is positive news for the market and yet another sign of tenants proclivity for new construction. The East End did not have any new deliveries in the fourth quarter, but there are six construction or renovation projects currently underway in the submarket. They include 600 13th Street, NW and the much-anticipated CityCenterDC. The latter, owned by Hines, is a 515,000-sf project comprising two interconnected ofce buildings which will deliver in the rst quarter of 2014 and is 80% preleased. Another renovation project which has seen strong preleasing activity is Brookeld Ofce Properties 799 9th Street, NW. The 204,000-sf ofce building will deliver in the second quarter of 2014 and is 75% preleased to law rms Nixon Peabody and Fulbright & Jaworski.
Market Outlook

Market Indicators 4th Quarter 2013 Change from Q3 2013 Net Absorption Deliveries Vacancy Asking Rates Change from Q4 2012

The East End has 1.9 msf currently under construction of which 81% is preleased, so large upticks in vacancy due to new deliveries are not expected. This, coupled with improving economic conditions should allow the East End vacancy rate to further decline throughout 2014. Throughout 2013, the majority of leasing activity in the District of Columbia was focused in the core submarkets of the Central Business District and East End. Expect increased leasing activity in 2014 to begin in the core submarkets and then trickle down to the peripheral ones.

Submarkets
Central Business District
Market Activity

After a very solid rst three quarters of 2013, the Central Business District (CBD) experienced a signicant shedding of space in the fourth quarter, registering a negative 112,000 sf of absorption. While there was a strong level of leasing activity in the fourth quarter, there were not many transactions that actually contributed to growth. Those that did so were counteracted by large move-outs. The primary contributor to negative absorption was the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) relocation to its new headquarters at 1616 Rhode Island Avenue, NW, which it owns. The non-prot leaves vacant 113,500 sf at 1800 K Street, NW. Despite posting a negative gure in the fourth quarter, total 2013 absorption was a healthy 346,800 sf, well above the submarkets 15-year average annual absorption of 220,300 sf. The fourth quarter of 2013 was uncharacteristic for the CBD as the market saw only one of the top ten transactions for the quarter. The largest fourth quarter transaction in the submarket was law rm Miller & Chevaliers prelease of 83,600 sf at 900 16th Street, NW, a redevelopment of the Christian Science complex currently on the site that will break ground in early 2014. Another signicant fourth-quarter transaction was that of Freedom House. The non-prot leased 20,700 sf at 1850 M Street, NW and will relocate from a similar amount of space at 1140 Connecticut Avenue, NW at the end of 2014. Largely due to CSISs move, vacancy in the CBD rose 0.3 percentage points over the last three months of 2013 to end the year at 11.8%. However, this is still 0.5 percentage points lower than the CBDs vacancy rate at the end of 2012. Overall asking rents in the submarket have remained essentially at, decreasing less

than 1% in the past year to the current rate of $50.20 psf. Carr Properties 1700 New York Avenue, NW completed construction in the fourth quarter of 2013 and was 78% leased upon delivery. Sullivan & Cromwell will occupy 58,100 sf in the new building, downsizing slightly from the 74,000 sf at its former location at 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The second major tenant in the new building is The Smith Group, which signed for 30,800 sf in 2010 and recently committed to an additional 6,000 sf. The architecture rm will be moving out of approximately 20,000 sf at 901 K Street, NW in the East End. With the delivery of 1700 New York Avenue, NW, only one building remains under construction in the CBD. Akridges 168,000-square-foot project at 1200 17th Street, NW is 63% preleased to law rm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman and is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2014.
Market Outlook

Market Indicators 4th Quarter 2013 Change from Q3 2013 Net Absorption Deliveries Vacancy Asking Rates Change from Q4 2012

The CBD was a major contributor to the District of Columbias overall absorption in 2013 and has historically been the leader of all District of Columbia submarkets in leasing volume. This is expected to continue into 2014 and the CBD will likely lead the market to a sustained recovery. Only one project remains under construction in the CBD, and the majority of its space is accounted for, so an uptick in vacancy at delivery is not expected.

Submarkets
West End/Georgetown
Market Activity
The West End/Georgetown submarket experienced tepid demand in the fourth quarter of 2013. Net absorption totaled 19,519 sf in the fourth quarter, bringing the submarkets 2013 total absorption to 152,871 sf. With nine deals reported, the submarket saw below-average leasing activity during the quarter. However, no large vacancies hit the market, so the majority of leasing activity that did take place contributed to growth. Only one lease of signicant size was executed during the quarter. The Chronicle of Higher Education renewed its lease for 52,300 sf at 1255 23rd Street, NW. Other leasing activity of note was the American Institutes of Research 8,100 sf expansion at 1025 Thomas Jefferson Street, NW, which brought its total footprint at the building to 50,600 sf. Thanks to steady leasing activity and a lack of large move-outs, market growth was signicantly stronger in 2013 than in 2012 when annual net absorption registered only 5,900 sf. Overall vacancy in the submarket decreased by two percentage points over the last three months of the year to end 2013 at 5.7%. That is the lowest vacancy in the submarket since just prior to the delivery of Harbourside North and South in 2006, when vacancy registered 4.5% at year-end 2005. As a result of continually declining vacancy, overall asking rents in West End/ Georgetown increased 1.0% during 2013 and 1.7% over the fourth quarter of last year to the current rate of $46.75 psf, on a full service basis. Due to a lack of developable land in West End/ Georgetown, there are no construction projects in the pipeline. In fact, the Harbourside buildings were the only deliveries in the submarket in over ten years. These buildings, located at 3000 and 3050 K Street, NW traded earlier this year. Principal Financial Group purchased the properties from MRP/Rockpoint for $373M or about $665 per square foot. The buildings were 96% leased at the time of sale. Other buildings on the market for sale in West End/ Georgetown include Tishman Speyers 2550 M Street, NW and two buildings owned by the Association of American Medical Colleges located at 2450 N Street, NW and 2501 M Street, NW.

Market Outlook
West End/Georgetown has some large block vacancy on the horizon with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw and Pittmans pending departure to the under-construction 1200 17th Street, NW in the CBD. The law rm will leave approximately 200,000 sf vacant at 2300 N Street, NW when the new building delivers in the second quarter of 2014. Unless the submarket can attract a large tenant to backll the space, expect a 2-4 percentage point spike in vacancy by mid-2014. With the expected increase in vacancy, asking rents across the submarket will likely decrease by 2-3% over the course of 2014.

Submarkets
Capitol Hill/NoMa
Market Activity The Capitol Hill/NoMa submarket suffered a decline in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to a lack of signicant leasing activity and two fully available deliveries. StonebridgeCarras completed construction on the 360,000-sf Three Constitution Square, a Class A ofce building at 175 N Street, NE. Also delivered in the fourth quarter was Trammell Crow Companys Sentinel Square II at 1050 1st Street, NE. While owners of both properties have been in conversations with potential tenants, no leases were signed prior to delivery, thus causing a signicant spike in the submarkets vacancy rate. The fourth quarter vacancy rate of 13.1% represents a 4.4 percentage point increase from the previous quarter and a 4.6 percentage point increase from year-end 2012. Demand in Capitol Hill and NoMa bifurcated in the fourth quarter, with vacancy in NoMa increasing and in Capitol Hill declining. With both of the newly delivered buildings located in NoMa, the submarkets vacancy rate registered 16.2%, a 6.6 percentage point increase from the third quarter. Over the same period, Capitol Hills vacancy rate decreased 0.4 percentage points to 6.3%. Absorption in Capitol Hill/NoMa registered a negative 5,000 sf with Capitol Hills 25,500 sf of positive absorption being offset by NoMas negative 30,600 sf. Negative demand was largely due to the District of Columbia government downsizing and giving back 36,300 sf at 899 North Capitol Street, NW. Still, 2013 annual absorption in Capitol Hill/NoMa was positive at 88,400 sf. Leasing activity in Capitol Hill/NoMa was quiet throughout the fourth quarter of 2013. Only ten transactions were signed, only one of which was of signicant size. The largest fourth quarter transaction was Dow Chemicals lease for 9,600 sf of rst-generation space at 500 North Capitol Street, NW. The company will expand slightly from the 8,000 sf it currently occupies in the CBD. As the submarket has a high concentration of government tenants and is generally buoyed by GSA activity, the absence of GSA transactions was a major contributor to deteriorating market conditions in the fourth quarter. Both Class A and B asking rents increased 1.3% during 2013, ending the year $52.41 psf and $31.25 psf, respectively. As the ight-to-quality trend continues, Class C asking rents declined by 12.3% in the same time period. Market Outlook The recent budget deal enacted by Congress will likely bring the GSA more certainty in its long-term decision-making. As Capitol Hill/NoMa is particularly dependent upon government leasing activity, this is a positive omen that could return the submarket to a position of health. New construction in the District of Columbia has performed extremely well in recent years. Although NoMas two new buildings delivered vacant, they are among only a handful of options for large users. With over 15 tenants in the market requiring 200,000 sf or more, the buildings are likely to attract anchor tenants sometime in 2014.

Submarkets
Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/Southeast
Market Activity The Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/Southeast submarket witnessed the return of GSA leasing activity in the fourth quarter of 2013, although as has become characteristic for the GSA, it was largely renewal activity and so did not contribute to growth. In fact, various tenant move-outs brought the submarkets fourthquarter absorption total into the red at a negative 62,200 sf. Tenant relocations and downsizing far outpaced tenant growth in the submarket in 2013, and as a result, annual absorption totaled a negative 264,800 sf. CSCs ongoing space reduction had an impact on the submarket in the fourth quarter, as the professional services company vacated 51,700 sf at 1220 12th Street, SE. Despite the negative absorption, Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/ Southeast was home to four of the top ten largest transactions signed in the District of Columbia during the fourth quarter. In one of only three GSA relocation leases signed in 2013, and the largest by far, the National Nuclear Security Administration committed to 87,300 sf at 1201 Maryland Avenue, SW. The agency will be relocating from 955 LEnfant Plaza, SW and expanding by 6,000 sf. In addition, both the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Aviation Administration renewed leases at 1250 Maryland Avenue, SW for 41,400 sf and 39,500 sf, respectively. Rounding out GSA activity for the quarter, the Federal Labor Relations Authority renewed its lease for 33,500 sf at 1400 K Street, NW. Various tenant move-outs and contractions throughout 2013 caused a slow but steady increase in the submarkets overall vacancy rate. The 12.3% vacancy reached at year-end 2013 represents a 2.2 percentage point increase over the previous 12 months. Landlords hope to attract activity back to the submarket, and thus overall asking rents have declined 1.6% from a year ago to the current rate of $47.92 psf. There are no construction or renovation projects currently underway in Southwest/ Capitol Riverfront/Southeast, although two ofce buildings are expected to break ground in 2014. 400 6th Street, SW, a 342,000-sf, Class B building being developed by Trammell Crow and located in Southwest is slated to commence construction in the rst quarter. Additionally, WC Smiths 250 M Street, SE, a 228,000 sf, Class A building located in Capitol Riverfront/Southeast is scheduled to break ground in the second quarter. Market Outlook The availability rate in Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/Southeast was 13.8% at year-end 2013. This represents space that is currently vacant as well as space being marketed for future availability. The fact that the rate is within two percentage points of the physical vacancy rate means that much of the available space in the submarket is already vacant, and thus signicant increases in vacancy are not expected to continue in 2014. With Congress having worked out a budget deal that will fund the Federal Government through 2015, GSA leasing activity will likely see an increase as agencies gain more scal certainty. This would be especially benecial for the government-centric submarkets, of which Southwest/Capitol Riverfront/Southeast is one.

Submarkets
Uptown
Market Activity
The positive streak experienced by the Uptown submarket which began in the third quarter of 2013 continued into the fourth quarter. Net absorption registered a positive 82,700 sf and helped counteract some of the negative absorption seen in the rst two quarters, bringing the 2013 absorption total to 51,900 sf. Leasing activity was about average with a total of nine transactions, although eight of those were smaller than 10,000 sf. The largest lease signed in Uptown in the fourth quarter, in fact in all of 2013, was that of Teach for America. The non-prot committed to 35,300 sf at Progression Place at 1805 7th Street, NW. The Class A ofce condominium building delivered in 2012 and is now fully occupied. Also contributing to positive demand were two smaller leases signed at 5335 Wisconsin Avenue, NW: New York Life committed to 3,900 sf and Metalogix subleased 7,000 sf. With the growth in leasing activity, the overall vacancy rate in Uptown decreased 1.4 percentage points to 7.2%, the lowest vacancy rate since year-end 2009. As in most other submarkets, Class A product, with a vacancy rate of 5.1%, has outperformed Class B product, which is 9.1% vacant. Overall asking rents in Uptown declined 5.2% during 2013. While this seems like a drastic decline that is counter to the submarkets recent success, it is not likely to be indicative of a broader trend. Even modest leasing activity can cause average weighted rents to uctuate drastically in a submarket of only 6.5 msf of inventory; this decrease is likely the result of the remaining new space at Progression Place being taken off the market. Two buildings remain under construction in Uptown. 1728 14th Street, NW, a 30,200 sf, Class B building is slated for delivery in the second quarter of 2014. The building is 29% preleased to a local architecture rm and retail tenants. Furioso Developments 1525 14th Street, NW is a 46,600 sf Class B building which is expected to deliver in the rst quarter of 2014 and is 100% preleased to Whitman Walker Health. Although the same cannot be said of some other noncore submarkets, Uptowns new projects have seen strong leasing activity both preand post-delivery for the past two years. Market Outlook Uptowns availability rate, the combination of vacant space and occupied space that is available for lease, was 18.1% at year end, and more than double its physical vacancy rate. This is partially due to Intelsats pending relocation from Uptown to Tysons Corner. The satellite services provider will leave nearly 500,000 sf vacant at 4000 Connecticut Avenue, NW. Unless the building can attract a tenant to backll the space before Intelsat moves in May 2014, expect a 3-4 percentage point uptick in vacancy by mid-year. With the expected increase in vacancy, asking rents are likely to continue to decline at a rate of 0.5-1% per quarter.
