Superior Market Fundamentals; Embedded Long-Term Upside Chapman and Cutler LLP According to the latest report from the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE), the Washington, DC metropolitan area remains one of the fifteen premier global real estate investment markets and top six within the United States due to its strong market fundamentals, stable tenant base, and significant barriers to entry. As of 4th quarter 2016, the CBD submarket has a direct vacancy rate of 5.5% (6.3% total) and continues to outperform the national office market, which experienced 9.7% in total vacancy across all classes and 12.0% in total vacancy for Class A product alone. At 100% leased, 1717 Rhode Island Avenue outperforms the market both regionally and nationally. Asking rental rates for downtown Washington, DC office product built between 2004 and 2006 range from $53.00 to $68.00 PSF, fullservice, suggesting Uber s current rent $45.10 PSF, full-service is considerably below market. This presents investors with a compelling markto-market opportunity long-term with a blue chip tenant like Uber, who is very committed to the Property and its location. Over 2,000,000 square feet in neighboring office development or redevelopment is ongoing or planned throughout the northern CBD. With asking rents ± $55.00 PSF, triple net, and all-in replacement cost for these projects approaching $900 PSF, 1717 Rhode Island Avenue becomes a compelling basis play with tremendous upside as Washington, DC office market fundamentals continue to recover long-term.
