1 Q OFFICE SUBURBAN MARYLAND SUBURBAN MARYLAND MARKET REPORT Second Quarter: Suburban Maryland s Uptick in has yet to be Realized in Numbers Updated May 2012 MARKET INDICATIONS Q Q (p) NET ABSORPTION CONSTRUCTION MARKET OVERVIEW Despite a slight resurgence in leasing activity in Suburban Maryland, net absorption during the second quarter of 2013 remained negative. Bozzuto & Associates, a mid-atlantic regional residential developer, came to terms on a 75,000-square-foot deal at 6406 Ivy Lane in the Greenbelt submarket. This is one of the first times in recent memory that the largest deal in Suburban Maryland was larger than any that occurred in the District., on the other hand, continued to remain negative and was considerably less than what was recorded during the first quarter. This moderate uptick in deal volume will likely not be absorbed into the market for several quarters. ABSORPTION For four quarters in a row and thus far in all of 2013, Suburban Maryland registered negative absorption; the majority was focused in the Prince Georges County and in class B space from a quality standpoint. Prince George s County s negative 126,000 square feet of absorption brought the year to date absorption to negative 258,000 square feet. Montgomery County, however, saw positive absorption gains. The largest contributor was Adventist Healthcare s 69,379-square-foot move into 820 W Diamond Avenue in the Gaithersburg submarket. They vacated roughly 50,000 square feet from their former offices at 1801 Research Drive in the Rockville submarket.

In Prince George s County, the Beltsville submarket saw the largest vacancy increase, up by over 4 percentage points to finish the quarter at 29.4 percent. Prince George s County overall vacancy increased 1.1 percent to end the quarter at 20 percent. Montgomery County registered a slight decrease in vacancy, falling 20 basis points and ending the quarter at 13.3 percent. Gaithersburg and Rockville saw the largest vacancy decreases, both dropping over a percentage point and ending the second quarter at 11.1 and 13.9 percent respectively. DELIVERIES AND CONSTRUCTION The Rockville Metro Plaza II, located at 121 Rockville Pike, delivered in the second quarter. It is a 200,000-square-foot, Class A office building in the Rockville submarket that was over 70 percent preleased at the time of delivery. Just over one million square feet is still under construction in the Suburban Maryland market, the majority of which is already accounted for. LOOKING FORWARD As the national economy continues to improve and job numbers increase, demand should follow suit in Suburban Maryland, however, we expect the Suburban Maryland market to be the last of the three to see positive increases. A more favorable business climate in Virginia and the Districts centralized location should have tenants choosing those two locations at a higher rate all things being equal. Regionally, the footprint of tenants is shrinking. Tenants are getting more out of less space and the efficiency of a building s mechanics and floor plan layout has never been more important. As we have already seen extensively in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, Suburban Maryland owners will need to redevelop their vintage product. $35.00 $30.00 $25.00 $20.00 $15.00 $10.00 $5.00 $0.00 Class A Class B Class C RENTAL RATES Asking rental rates in the Suburban Maryland market continued to rise this quarter, up 10 cents to finish at $25.65 on a full service basis. Both Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties asking rates rose this quarter, up 15 and 35 cents, respectively. Class A and B rents continued to rise in the market, with Class C buildings asking rates declining slightly.
