MARKET OVERVIEW The Northern Virginia office market is comprised of 191.7 million square feet of office space in approximately 2,300 properties in the cities of Arlington and Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties. The cities of Arlington and Alexandria fall on the border of Washington D.C and are comprised of approximately 61.6 million square feet of office space combined. Fairfax County is the largest market in Northern Virginia, accounting for 108.6 million square feet, or 57%, of the total office inventory. Loudoun County, the western-most county in the market, has 16 million square feet of office space, while Prince William County is comprised of only 5.4 million square feet of office space. During the 1st quarter of 2012, the Northern Virginia office market remained relatively flat. Net absorption was modestly negative and the overall vacancy rate increased fifty basis points over the past three months. Class B space took the biggest step back during the 1st quarter, netting negative 450,367 square feet of absorption and accounting for nearly 83% of all net absorption. Class A and Class C space both remained relatively flat during the 1st quarter. With approximately 600,000 square feet expected to deliver by year-end 2012 and over 800,000 square feet by 2013, we anticipate demand to drop slightly, and for the vacancy rate to edge up over the next 12-24 months. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW The Washington Metro Area unemployment rate dropped 10 basis points over the last year, to 5.9%, according to the latest economic data from The Bureau of Labor Statistics. The national unemployment rate improved as well, dropping to 8.2% in March 2012, from 8.9% twelve months earlier. Office using jobs have increased by 35,200, or 1.5%, in the Washington Metro area over the past 12-months. The Mining, Logging, Construction, Financial Activities, Education and Health, and Leisure and Hospitality industries have led the way over the last year, and we expect this trend to continue over the next year. SALES ACTIVITY There were 836,063 square feet of significant (> $5 million) office sales totaling $175.5 million ($210/ SF) in Northern Virginia during the 1st quarter of 2012. Two noteworthy purchases were Wells Real Estate purchase of 13820 Sunrise Valley Drive in Herndon for $91.1 million ($340/SF) and The Brick Companies purchase of 8607 Westwood Center Drive in Tysons Corner for $26.7 million ($308/SF).

ABSORPTIONDuring the 1st quarter of 2012, Northern Virginia posted a modestly negative 543,689 square feet of absorption. While the majority of the submarkets remained relatively flat, the Route 28 South submarket paced Northern Virginia with positive absorption of 295,843 square feet. The majority of Route 28 South’s absorption came from modest lease deals, but the most notable deal during the 1st quarter was SCITOR’s taking 158,919 square feet at 14672 Lee Road. The second largest deal was iDirect for 23,000 square feet at 13921 Park Center Drive. The only other submarket in Northern Virginia to boast over 100,000 square feet of absorption during the 1st quarter was the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor (187,110 SF). Reston followed closely behind with 96,899 SF of net absorption.

The two most notable office leases in Northern Virginia during the 1st quarter of 2012 were the Center for Naval Analyses’ (CNA’s) 173,000 square foot pre-lease at 3001 Washington Boulevard in Clarendon, and SCITOR’s 158,919 square foot lease at 14672 Lee Road. Office space in Arlington County took a hit during the 1st quarter, highlighted by the Crystal/Pentagon Cities submarket experiencing negative 431,702 square feet of absorption. The Crystal/Pentagon Cities submarket had the largest negative absorption total by any single submarket, largely due to BRAC and the Federal Government moving out of their fully-occupied buildings in Crystal City.

VACANCYTotal vacancy in Northern Virginia edged up by 50 basis points from 14.9% in the 4th quarter to 15.4% at the end of the quarter. The total vacancy rate in Northern Virginia has remained in the low-to-mid teens range over the past three years. Vacancy rates remained relatively consistent throughout Northern Virginia’s submarkets during the 4th quarter of 2011. Fairfax County’s overall vacancy rate increased 20 basis points from 15.5% in the 4th quarter to 15.7% at quarter-end, but the trend shows to be leveling off coming from 15.2% in the 3rd quarter (a jump of 60 basis points in the 4th quarter). Arlington County’s overall vacancy rate increased from 11.9% to 13.3% in the 1st quarter.

DELIVERIES AND CONSTRUCTIONCurrently, there is 2.3 million square feet of office space under construction in Northern Virginia. The vast majority of the construction is happening in the RB Corridor, Tysons Corner, and Springfield submarkets. The RB Corridor is home to 718,535 square feet, or 31%, of all the office space under construction in Northern Virginia comprising of two properties. Consisting of 718,535 square feet of combined space at 1812 N Moore Street and 1776 Wilson Boulevard are expected to deliver within the next 16 months. Fairfax County has 1.5 million square feet of office space under construction. Of all the construction in Fairfax County, 65% of it is happening in the Tysons Corner and Springfield submarkets. Most notably, The Lerner Company has broken ground at 1775 Tysons Boulevard on a 475,000 square foot building that is expected to deliver in the 1st quarter of 2014. In anticipation of the Dulles Metro Rail, many more projects will be breaking ground within the next few years. Three buildings, totaling 330,198 square feet of office space delivered in Northern Virginia during the 1st quarter of 2012. The most significant of these buildings, JBG’s 800 N Glebe Road, added 301,895 square feet of trophy space to the RB Corridor. Accenture, previously headquartered in Reston, relocated to 800 N Glebe and leased nearly 100,000 feet of office space. Average asking rates for this building average $54.50. The second building, developed by Ellis Dale Construction, delivered 13,303 Class B square feet to the Leesburg/West Loudoun submarket asking $25.00. The Lofts at Del Ray Village delivered in Old Town Alexandria, bringing 15,000 square feet of Class B office space to the market.

RENTAL RATESThe average rental rate continued its upward swing during the 1st quarter of 2012, finishing at its highest rate since year-end 2008. The overall asking rate averaged $30.47 per square foot, up from $30.20 in the 4th quarter and $29.77 in the 3rd quarter of 2011. Class A rental rates averaged $33.86 during the 1st quarter, up from $32.45 the quarter prior. Class B rents increased to $29.03 in the 1st quarter from $27.27 at the year-end, but class C rents increased to $24.72 from $23.96. We expect rents to level off over the next 12 months as more vacant space floods the market.

LOOKING FORWARDThe greater Washington D.C. commercial real estate market is in a state of uncertainty right now. The real fear is the compounding of two upcoming factors that can lead to a significant depression in the local commercial real estate market. The first is the uncertainty of the upcoming election. Federal funding flows in distinctly different directions depending on the party that is in office. When Federal agencies are unable to make long-term decisions because of this, the market slows. Secondly and most significantly are the massive budget cuts that will continue to take place regardless of the party in place after November. There are currently $1.2 trillion in mandatory Federal budget cuts over the next 10 years that are split fairly evenly between Defense and Non-Defense agencies. As has always been the case as Federal spending goes, so goes the Washington, DC market.

This has the effect of causing rental rates on larger spaces to affect the average more than that of smaller spaces. The weighted average rental rate is calculated by taking the ratio of the square footage associated with the rental rate on each individual available space to the square footage associated with rental rates on all direct vacant spaces, multiplying the rental rate by that ratio, and then adding together all the resulting numbers. Rental rate averages include Direct Vacant space and calculated at the quarter end.
