MARKET REPORT OFFICE Second Quarter 2016 Everything Old is New Again Market Indicators Q2 2016 2017 (Projected) While the global economy remains on its Jekyll and Hyde path, the District s commercial real estate market continues to show improving market fundamentals. The District had positive absorption and a decreasing vacancy rate despite delivering 284,000 square feet of new space to the market. Development has been spurred by stable market fundamentals and now registers more square feet under construction than any quarter since 2009. However, one of the differences from 2009 to 2016 is the type of development under construction. The majority of space being built in 2009 was new ground-up construction. In 2016, the construction is more of a redevelopment play. Aging Class B buildings converted to Trophy quality buildings, as is the case of 2001 M Street that delivered this quarter, has become more popular. After a strong first quarter when a number of larger leases were executed, deal velocity in the second quarter was both small in the average size and in the number of deals over 100,000 square feet. Typically, the second quarter has lower deal velocity than other times of the year. That being said, there are some concerns regarding the lack of new deals to the market this quarter. Economic Throughout the first half of 2016, office-using job has been lackluster, with roughly 3,000 jobs created this year. The two sectors that showed the most growth in the first half of the year were professional and business services, which include law firms and information technology, and the advocacy sector. They increased 1.8 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively. The combined 3,700 jobs created by these two industries were slightly offset by job losses in the financial and media sectors. The government sector has remained largely unchanged adding roughly 70 jobs since the start of the year. An unknown variable that occurred which may have far-reaching effects in both the global economy and the local commercial real estate market comes from the British exit from the European Union. In the short term, the Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates relatively stable. The uncertainty stemming from the followup of this decision will likely keep the Fed cautious about rocking the boat. From a local commercial real estate perspective, the uncertainty complicates an already tumultuous market. Once the fallout from the move is better understood, the local real estate market should continue to improve. In the short-term, however, it is likely that many tenants will not be as comfortable making long-term real estate decisions. Summary Statistics Q2 2016 Office Market All Classes Class A Class B & C Vacancy Rate 10.7% 11.7% 9.1% Change From Q4 2015 (basis points) Absorption (Square Feet) New Construction (Square Feet) Under Construction (Million Square Feet) Asking Rents Per Square Foot Per Year -1.2-3.7 3.0 264,788 586,773-321,985 284,000 284,000-3.63 3.41 0.21 Direct Asking Rates $52.24 $57.55 $43.75 Change From Q4 2015 0.0% 0.5% 1.2% Direct Asking Rental Rates By Class NET RENTAL

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 YtD 2016 Demand Net absorption for the quarter was 264,788 square feet, the highest since the third quarter of 2015. On the heels of the first quarter s negative absorption, the significant growth posted this quarter pushed year-to-date numbers to 223,111 square feet. The positive absorption was focused exclusively in Class A product where it rotated 586,773 square feet. Significant negative absorption came from both Class B and Class C spaces, registering negative 301,006 and a negative 20,979 square feet respectively. Demand in Class A product continues to outperform lower quality space as tenants move into blocks left by the multiple, large tenants which have opted for new build-to-suit spaces. The vast majority of the absorption occured in the CBD, which registered 465,000 square feet of absorption in the second quarter at the expense of the East End submarket (which produced 230,000 square feet of negative absorption). The recent redevelopment of the Southwest submarket reaped rewards from a demand standpoint, as the American Psychiatric Association move created just under 100,000 square feet of positive absorption. 2001 M Street NW (Delivered Q2 2016) Supply The one building that delivered in the second quarter highlighted the larger trend starting to manifest in the District: the redevelopment of aging buildings into trophy office product. The 284,000-square-foot 2001 M Street, NW delivered with the anchor tenant Bracewell LLP. This project transformed a well located but dated office building into an all glass, trophy office building - the style that has become so popular over the last several years. In addition, roughly 50,000 square feet of space was added to the building by bringing the façade 900 19th Street, NW (Under Renovation, Delivering Q1 2017) Demand / Supply Fundamentals Net Absorption, Change in Supply, Vacancy 4.0 12% 3.5 Net Absorption (Millions SF) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 11% 10% 9% Vacancy (%) Net Absorption Supply Overall Changes Vacancy Rate 0.0 8% Overall Vacancy Rate -0.5-1.0-1.5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 6 7% 0% OFFICE MARKET REPORT SECOND QUARTER 2016 COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL

closer to the street. Though 284,000 square feet of space delivered this quarter, the commencement of the renovation of 900 19th Street, NW removed 107,929 square feet of space from the market. This is one of the reasons that despite considerable new construction and modest net absorption, vacancy rates have remained relatively stable and low. Vacancy Rates While vacancy rates have consistently been trending upwards outside of the District, inside it has remained relatively stable over the last several quarters. Overall, the District s vacancy dropped 20 basis points this quarter to end the first half of the year at 10.7 percent, the lowest it has been in nearly a year. Positive absorption and limited deliveries were responsible for the decrease. An increase in sublease space this quarter is of note. During the quarter, it rose 10 basis points to 0.7 percent, matching its highest level over the last four years. Rental Rates Direct asking rental rates remained unchanged from the first quarter of 2016 to finish the first half of the year at $52.24 per square foot on a full service basis. Rising taxes and other operating expenses along with increasing concessions have resulted in net effective rental rates remaining flat or decreasing for several years. However, Class A and Trophy rents have outpaced rising costs and shown significant growth. Class A rents have increased by 8.5 percent over the last three years and Trophy rents have risen by 27.5 percent over the same time period. This compares to the Class B rate, which has only increase by 2.5 percent over the three years. Outlook Uncertainty in the market has long been extremely detrimental the District s office sector. Thanks to a hotly contested presidential election and tumultuous global economy, current growth projections are less certain than they were at the beginning of the year. Because of this, tenants in the market may find it difficult to make long-term decisions until the impact of some of these issues are realized. The exit of Britain from the European Union has some interesting potential outcomes that could affect the Washington, DC market. As a potential positive, foreign investors from UK and the Euro zone may seek to place money in the relatively low risk US commercial real estate market. With consistent, if low, returns in the District, there are ample opportunities for money earmarked for the UK to land in Washington. Additionally, redevelopment of underutilized, lower-quality office product is expected to provide tenants with higher quality options in the market. The opportunity to build on raw land is almost completely gone in the District. However, there are a number of Class B and C options located in ideal area that are excellent redevelopment opportunities, and represent the future of construction in the city.
