Metropolitan D.C. Market Overview Outlook The Washington D.C. Metropolitan market softened slightly as vacancy increased and the region recorded negative net absorption in the second quarter (YTD absorption remained positive, however). The market experienced some positive trends in the second quarter as well with an uptick in leasing activity, asking rents, and sales. Regional employment experienced 1.5% of growth YOY ending May 17, primarily driven by the private sector, specifically the Professional and Business Services industry. The unemployment rate decreased to 3.%; ranking the DC Metro area 11th in unemployment nationally (among cities of 1 million+ people). Looking ahead, the private sector will continue to be the primary driver for employment in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area; with the Professional & Business Services industry leading the way. Uncertainty among the Federal agencies concerning budgets and staffing, coupled with agency consolidations/ downsizing, should continue to affect GSA leasing throughout 17. While vacancy decreased in Northern Virginia and pre-leasing is strong market-wide, the DC metro area should remain a tenant s market through 17. Aggressive landlords will continue to offer generous concessions and initiate capital improvements to remain competitive. 11 Constitution Ave., Suite 35 East Washington D.C..513.7 153 Wilson Blvd., Suite Arlington, VA 73.5.
