Metropolitan D.C. Market Overview Outlook The Metropolitan Washington, DC market strengthen in the third quarter as market fundamentals continued to improve. Compared to the second quarter; third quarter vacancy rates ticked down, asking rates ticked up, sales volume increased 49.6%, net absorption increased 18.3%, and leasing activity increased 6.5%. Regional employment experienced 1.9% of growth YOY ending August 2018, primarily driven by the private sector, specifically the Professional & Business Services industry. The DC Metro area s unemployment rate increased to 3.5%, however, it still out paces the 3.7% national average. The DC Metro is tied in 15th place in national ranking for unemployment in metro areas with populations over 1 million. Looking ahead, the GSA will continue reducing the federal real estate footprint and begin to execute longer lease terms (15-20 year terms) while minimizing/eliminating shortterm extensions to reduce costs. While market fundamentals appear strong, the region remains a tenant s market. Aggressive landlords will continue to perform significant capital improvements on their buildings to remain competitive, while also offering generous rent concessions (TI Allowance and Free Rent). The Metro should continue be a catalyst for demand (leasing and sales) around Phase II of the Silver Line in Virginia and the Purple Line in Maryland. The DC Metro is rumored to be a strong contender for Amazon s HQ2, with Northern Virginia being the front runner for the region. 4

Suburban Maryland Market Outlook There is reason for continued optimism in the Suburban Maryland office market, particularly along the I-270 corridor. s in the market activity has been strong and it is expected that there will be multiple announcements regarding these company s commitments in the 4th quarter. In Montgomery County, absorption in the submarkets from Bethesda to Rockville remained flat, but there was positive absorption up-county in North Rockville and Gaithersburg. Silver Spring also showed positive absorption and despite a large pending vacancy (Discovery Communications), this submarket remains tight with rental rates increasing. In Prince George s County, the office market remains fairly flat. Most office demand and activity is centered around existing tenants searching for better deals with many renewing in place. A couple large GSA requirements currently in the market will help the market. Industrial/Flex activity in Prince George s County remains strong with multiple large requirements in the market. Look for multiple announcements of completed deals before the end of the year. Rental rates in the industrial/flex sector will push higher. 8
