Washington, DC Metropolitan Area The past 12 months proved to be another strong year for economic performance in the Washington, DC metropolitan region (DC metro). For a third straight year, job growth far exceeded the historical average, adding 56,300 nonfarm payroll positions in 2017 only slightly off the 2015 and 2016 totals of 57,000 per year. Job growth was led by the office-intensive Professional and Business Services sector, which grew by 16,300 jobs in 2017. Job creation in other office-using sectors was flat to negative: employment in Financial Services ended the year up 700, in Federal Government down 500 and in Information down 2,500 jobs. Among non-office-using sectors, the Education and Healthcare, and Leisure and Hospitality sectors experienced strong gains of over 13,000 positions each. The District of Columbia (DC) added 10,000 jobs while Northern Virginia (NoVA) and Suburban Maryland (SMD) both added 23,000. While job growth and the overall economy continued to surge, overall net absorption continued to erode compared to historical averages. The DC metro region absorbed 1.9 million square feet (msf) of space in 2017, well off the 2.6 msf that the region has averaged every year since 2001. The regional vacancy rate was 17.8%, relatively unchanged from year-end 2016. DC accounted for 600,000 square feet (sf) of absorption and a 12.4% vacancy rate, NoVA registered 1.0 msf of absorption and a vacancy rate of 21.5% and SMD had 130,000 sf of absorption with vacancy ending the year at 19.4%. While technology, consumer goods and real estate firms executed several notable new leases in 2017, most large new transactions were executed by organizations that are typically on the top deals list in the DC metro region: federal agencies, law firms, not-for-profits and federal contractors. The federal government s leasing arm the General Services Administration (GSA) was responsible for the largest lease of the year in each of the three DC metro jurisdictions, with the Federal Communications Commission leasing 473,000 sf in DC, the Transportation Security Administration leasing 625,000 sf in Northern Virginia, and the Department of Homeland Security leasing 575,000 sf in Suburban Maryland. These three cases demonstrate that the government will continue to consolidate large requirements in submarkets that offer quality development at a relative value compared to pricier, traditional government enclaves. New supply in the core downtown submarkets of DC continues to be a concern for overall market fundamentals looking forward. The Central Business District (CBD), East End, and Capitol Hill/NoMa are expected to deliver over 7.0 msf of office space in the next 24 months, 4.8 msf of which is currently under construction. Among those projects that are currently under construction, 2.5 msf 51% is already preleased. Expect vacancy rates and concessions to rise in these submarkets as tenants continue to seek the top floors while velocity on lesser space in new developments remains modest, at best. On the flipside, the transit-oriented suburban submarkets have been relatively supply-constrained with under-construction projects nearing 80.0% preleased. This supply constraint is subject to change as a plethora of high-profile, large tenants are currently active in the market with limited existing quality space options left to accommodate them. This will benefit developers like Carr Properties, The Meridian Group and JBG Smith, all of whom have risked spec development. The next 12 to 18 months should see two or more developments getting underway in Reston/Herndon, one likely in Tysons, and an active market for projects that recently broke ground in Bethesda.

Q4 16 Q4 17 D.C. Metro Employment 3.2M 3.3M Forecast Suburban Maryland Economy Job growth in Suburban Maryland remained strong in 2017, but the majority of job gains were in non-office-using sectors. From January through November, the local economy generated just over 15,700 net new, nonfarm payroll jobs. Leading job growth yearover-year were the Education and Healthcare sector with 5,400 jobs, and Leisure and Hospitality with 5,300 jobs. For the officeusing sectors there was a loss of about 1,350 jobs in Information, Financial, and Federal employment, and a small gain of 370 jobs in the Professional Business Services sector. Market Overview Following headline-making headquarters relocations by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the Department of Homeland Security s (DHS) Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) to Prince George s County, and by Marriott International to Bethesda/Chevy Chase, Suburban Maryland once again captured two notable leases by the close of the fourth quarter of 2017. JBG Smith secured two more preleases (also the second and third largest leases of the quarter) at 4747 Bethesda Avenue: Booz Allen Hamilton preleased 65,000 square feet (sf) and Host Hotels preleased 55,000 sf, bringing the Class A building to 71.0% committed. These two leases helped new leasing activity close the fourth quarter of 2017 at 3.7 million square feet (msf) the highest level since 2007. Such healthy leasing activity resulted in positive overall year-todate net absorption of 130,658 sf, 90,173 sf of which occurred in the fourth quarter. There was a handful of small to midsized tenants and expansions that helped bolster overall net absorption. The GSA expanded to take 12,000 sf at 20030 Century Boulevard, and the Make a Wish Foundation moved into 11,000 sf at 4451-4459 Forbes Boulevard. The largest move-in of the quarter was Bank of America/Merrill Lynch which occupied 23,500 sf at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue. Given positive absorption, overall vacancy declined 140 basis points (bps) year-over-year, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at 19.4%. With declining vacancy particularly in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket where vacancy remained among the lowest in the region landlords have begun to push overall asking rents upward. Overall asking rents for all classes in Suburban Maryland closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at$26.85 per square foot (psf). Throughout 2017, headlines focused on the development story of Bethesda/Chevy Chase, particularly as several buildings are expected to go spec over the next 12 to 18 months. But other areas of the Suburban Maryland market have also continued to attract tenants with build to-suit opportunities, including Kaiser Permanente s building at 4000 Garden City Drive, and the DHS/ CIS headquarters at One Town Center. Outlook With the pipeline of new construction coming to the Bethesda/ Chevy Chase submarket and the Purple Line finally underway, excitement continues to build in the Suburban Maryland market. The area s strong demographics, exceptional amenities and growing range of transportation options position Suburban Maryland for revitalization in the Metro-accessible submarkets. With the increasing trend toward the live-work-play environment, these new multipurpose developments will appeal strongly to companies that are looking to attract and retain top talent in their workforce. However, vacancies in non-metro served locations are likely to remain elevated as tenants gravitate towards more amenitized options. Thousands D.C.

Bethesda/Chevy Chase Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 10.3% Net Absorption (91,454 SF) Under Construction 626,02 Deliveries $36.89 The Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket closed the fourth quarter of 2017 with generally healthy market fundamentals. Year-to-date new leasing activity registered just over 1.2 million square feet (msf) a record high due in large part to Marriott International, Inc. s prelease for its future headquarters at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue committed to earlier in the year. Additionally, fourthquarter leasing activity was bolstered by two preleases secured by JBG Smith at 4747 Bethesda Avenue: Booz Allen Hamilton preleased 65,000 square feet (sf) and Host Hotels preleased 55,050 sf. Combined with JBG Smith s previously announced commitment to take approximately 100,000 sf at the property, the Class A building is currently 71.0% preleased. The third-largest lease of the fourth quarter of 2017 was that executed by WTOP for 30,612 sf at 5425 Wisconsin Avenue. Despite record new leasing activity, year-to-date net absorption closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at negative 91,454 sf a yearover-year (YOY) decline of 67.0%. The decline was primarily a result of limited near-term availabilities for tenants. The first new construction building is not scheduled to deliver until mid-2019, leaving few existing options in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket. However, given that new leasing activity has been buoyed by a number of large preleases from new-tothe-submarket tenants, once those new buildings deliver, net absorption will certainly spike upward. The overall vacancy rate in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 10.8%. While that is up slightly year-over-year by 110 basis points (bps), it is still among the lowest in the region. Given the relatively low vacancy in the submarket, overall asking rents have continued to hold steady, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at $36.89 per square foot (psf) for all classes. Class A rental rates closed the quarter at $41.08 psf a 4% decline quarter-over-quarter primarily due to a large block of space with above-average asking rents leasing up in the fourth quarter, and increasingly limited quality options remaining on the market.

Given the submarket s strong amenity base, Metro access to both the existing Red Line and a future Purple Line station, and a broad tenant base of professional and business services, the new deliveries will continue to attract tenants from across the region. This is evident in Marriott s decision to relocate its headquarters to the market, and Booz Allen Hamilton and Host Hotels committing to leases in Bethesda from other submarkets. Additionally, with one of the lowest vacancy rates in the region and no new deliveries set to hit the market until mid-2019, the Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket is expected to remain landlord-favorable for the next 12 to 18 months.

Rock Spring Park Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 24.8% Net Absorption 188,515 SF Under Construction Deliveries $29.70 As it did during the first half of the year, Rock Spring Park continued to see improving, albeit still soft, market fundamentals through the fourth quarter of 2017. New leasing activity for the quarter was comprised of small and mid-sized tenants. The largest lease of the quarter was that of the Make a Wish Foundation, which signed for 11,464 square feet (sf) at 10401 Fernwood Road. In all, total new leasing activity for the fourth quarter of 2017 totaled 19,342 sf, which helped bring the year-to-date new leasing to 68,151sf. That wasn t quite enough, however, to top 2016 s total of 128,116 sf, registering a 39% decrease year-over-year. Year-to-date overall net absorption remained positive, closing the year at 188,515 sf. Most of that absorption was due to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) vacating from 5635 Fishers Lane and relocating to 6700 Rockledge Drive in the first quarter. Net Absorption Deliveries Vacancy 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.1 0.0-0.1-0.1-0.2-0.2 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Net Absorption Deliveries Vacancy Rate 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Vacancy Rate The substantial positive absorption in the market contributed to a decline in overall vacancy rates which closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 24.8% down 430 basis points (bps) year-over-year. With Suburban Maryland as a whole posting an average overall vacancy rate of 19.4%, however, Rock Spring Park continued to face market softness, particularly as older, less-amenitized office parks struggle to compete against the Metro-accessible locations tenants continue to seek. Given elevated vacancy rates, overall asking rents dipped 1.8%, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at $29.80 per square foot (psf). Despite above market vacancy, asking rents in Rock Spring Park remained on par with Montgomery County s average of $29.20 psf, and well above Suburban Maryland s average of $26.85 psf. Overall Class A asking rents in Rock Spring Park averaged $30.58 psf for the fourth quarter, slightly below the county average of $31.52 psf, signaling an opportunity for tenants to find quality space at competitive price points.

With the Marriott Headquarters slated for residential, the risk of new office vacancy coming online following the hotelier s relocation to the Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket is mitigated. Additionally, the market should see an increase in the population base as the new residential comes along, and along with it, more amenities to further attract tenants from both the public and private sectors. With no new construction in the pipeline vacancy rates should remain in check and asking rents holding.

Pike Corridor Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 17.9% Net Absorption (96,725 SF) Under Construction Deliveries $28.30 FS Market fundamentals in the Pike Corridor submarket were varied throughout the fourth quarter of 2017. Year-to-date new leasing activity picked up during the quarter, closing at just under 338,943 square feet (sf) a 75.7% increase from the third quarter. The largest lease of the quarter was signed by the General Services Administration (GSA) on behalf of the National Institutes of Health for a 90,000-sf renewal at 2115 East Jefferson Street. The largest new lease was executed by The American Physiological Society (APS), which committed to just over 30,000 sf at 6120 Executive Boulevard. Despite strong leasing activity, year-to-date net absorption still registered at negative 96,725 sf at the close of the fourth quarter of 2017. It should be noted, however, that this was due to several tenants vacating the submarket during the first half of the year: Dixon Hughes vacated 24,849 sf at Rockville Pike, the FDA vacated 10,000 sf at 1 Church Street, and Montgomery County s consolidation from 47,322 sf at 40 West Gude Drive. Overall vacancy rates closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 17.9% a 110-basis-point (bps) increase year-over-year. Pike Corridor s fourth quarter vacancy matched the overall average vacancy for Montgomery County, and 150 bps lower than Suburban Maryland s average as a whole. While vacancy has declined, overall asking rents for all classes have remained in check, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at $28.30 per square foot (psf). The overall average rent for Class A product closed the quarter at $30.05 psf, in line with Suburban Maryland s overall Class A average of $30.16 psf.

The area remains well-positioned to attract tenants, particularly as construction of the Pike & Rose mixed-use development comes to an end, bringing with it retail and residential options to the area. With the growing demand for amenity-heavy and Metro-accessible locations, vacancy rates are expected to continue decreasing over the next 18 to 24 months, which will help to keep asking rents elevated.

I-270/Rockville Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 23.0% Net Absorption 250,494 SF Under Construction Deliveries $28.34 Similar to trends in the first half of the year, the 1-270/Rockville submarket continued to see diverging market fundamentals throughout the fourth quarter of 2017. New leasing activity decreased by 43.0% year-over-year, with year-to-date new leasing closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at 372,206 square feet (sf). There were, however, several noteworthy leases greater than 10,000 square feet (sf). The largest new lease of the quarter was signed by Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) for 36,599 sf at 2099 Gaither Road; the second-largest signed by Skanska for 14,918 sf at 700 King Farm. Despite the decline in new leasing activity, year-to-date net absorption remained positive, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at 250,494 sf. This was particularly noteworthy given that the I-270/Rockville submarket registered 50,471 sf of positive absorption in 2016. Given the significant positive absorption, vacancy rates declined 150 basis points (bps) from the fourth quarter of 2016, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at 23.0%. Vacancy in the I-270/ Rockville submarket was 510 bps higher than Montgomery County s vacancy rate of 17.9%.

Gaithersburg/Germantown Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 20.2% Net Absorption 20,588 SF Under Construction Deliveries $24.02 Market fundamentals in the Gaithersburg and Germantown submarkets remained stable through the fourth quarter of 2017. Both submarkets experienced sluggish new leasing activity during the quarter. Year-to-date new leasing activity in Gaithersburg closed the quarter at 35,062 square feet (sf) a 31.0% decrease year-over-year. With no new leasing activity recorded in Germantown during the quarter, new leasing activity year-to-date was unchanged from that in the third quarter of the year at 18,924 sf. Indeed, the majority of new leasing activity for Germantown during 2017 occurred in the third quarter. The most notable lease of the quarter was signed by Deleon Stang for 9,000 sf at 100 Lakeforest Boulevard in Gaithersburg. Despite Gaithersburg s quiet leasing activity in the fourth quarter of 2017, overall net absorption remained stable, closing the quarter with positive 15,504 sf and accounting for 20.3% of Montgomery County s total absorption in 2017. Vacancy rates continued to hold, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at 21.6%, 220 basis points (bps) above Suburban Maryland s overall average vacancy rate of 19.4%. As office parks continue to struggle with the increasing demand for Metro-proximate locations, vacancy rates could continue to rise. Rental rates remained in check, with overall asking rents for all classes closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at $24.37 per square foot (psf).

Germantown vacancy remains 70 bps lower than Suburban Maryland s overall average vacancy of 19.4%. With vacancy rates declining, rental rates increased, closing the fourth quarter of 2017 at $24.66 psf a 1.0% uptick from the fourth quarter of 2016.

Vacancy rates in Germantown declined and remained flat in Gaithersburg; however, with new leasing activity remaining stagnant and no new construction in the pipeline, vacancy rates should remain in check for both submarkets. As the demand continues to shift towards more amenitized, Metro-proximate locations, market fundamentals in the Gaithersburg and Germantown submarkets could struggle. But for those tenants that are looking for space at a lower price point in Montgomery County, Germantown and Gaithersburg are competitive options.

Silver Spring Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 12.6% Net Absorption (-512 SF) Under Construction Deliveries $29.35 Silver Spring experienced mixed market fundamentals throughout the fourth quarter of 2017. Year-to-date new leasing activity registered 173,727 square feet (sf), an uptick of 11.5% year-overyear, although the majority of new leasing was recorded in the first half of the year. Small and mid-sized tenants accounted for all the leasing activity during the fourth quarter, as there were no leases executed for more than 10,000 sf. There were, however, a couple of small and mid-sized tenants that relocated from the submarket, resulting in negative year-to-date absorption which closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at a barely audible negative 512 sf. Overall vacancy rates closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 12.6% a 110-basis-point (bps) increase year-over-year. Despite the increase, Silver Spring still registered the second-lowest vacancy rate among all Suburban Maryland submarkets: 530 bps lower than Montgomery County s overall vacancy of 17.9% and 680 bps lower than Suburban Maryland s vacancy of 19.4%. Overall asking rents, which continued to hold near the $29.00 per square foot (psf) mark, closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at $29.35 psf.

But with Silver Spring s strong amenity base and Metro-accessibility, as well as proximity to the District of Columbia, it will remain an attractive option for tenants that begin to be pushed out of the more landlord-favorable Bethesda/Chevy Chase submarket. With the addition of Metro s now-underway Purple Line, Silver Spring will be further connected to the western Suburban Maryland submarket, continuing to provide tenants the accessibility that they currently demand. This, combined with a rare very large block of existing quality space, will add the Discovery headquarters space to the short list of any large tenant requirements looking for space regionally.

Prince George s County Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 24.5% Net Absorption 205,054 SF Under Construction 825,464 SF Deliveries 251,00 $21.40 The Prince George s County submarket experienced healthy market fundamentals throughout the fourth quarter of 2017. Year-to-date new leasing activity closed the quarter at just over 1.7 million square feet (msf) a 47.1% increase from the fourth quarter of 2016, although the majority of new leasing activity occurred in the first three quarters of the year. Throughout the fourth quarter, there were a handful of renewals and mid-sized leases. The largest new lease of the quarter was that of the National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) which signed for 12,616 square feet (sf) at 6404 Ivy Lane. The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) captured the largest renewal of the quarter for 54,000 sf at 6511 American Boulevard. Such healthy leasing activity resulted in positive overall year-to-date- net absorption of 205,054 sf a year-overyear increase of 31.6% 75,165 sf of which occurred in the fourth quarter. Given such positive absorption, overall vacancy closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 24.5% a 380-basis-point (bps) decrease yearover-year. Overall vacancy in Prince George s County was 510 bps higher than Suburban Maryland s overall vacancy rate of 19.4%. The two tightest submarkets in Prince George s County were Landover/Landham and Bowie which had vacancy rates of 19.6% and 18.4%, respectively, in the fourth quarter. At the close of the quarter the highest vacancy rates were in Beltsville/College Park (27.5%) and Greenbelt (30.7%), 300 bps and 620 bps higher, respectively, than the County s overall average. Overall asking rents in Prince George s County, which continued to hold near the $21.00 per square foot (psf) mark, closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at $21.40 psf. The County s overall average asking rate fell $5.45 below Suburban Maryland s overall average asking rent of $26.85 psf for the quarter. The overall average asking rent for Class A buildings closed the quarter at $23.57 psf, a 4.9% increase year-over-year. Beltsville/College Park boasts the highest rental rate in the County, closing the fourth quarter at $22.26 psf, but rents could continue to rise since construction on Metro s Purple Line has begun. There were no new deliveries in the fourth quarter of the year; however, there are a couple buildings in the pipeline. Construction continues at 5801 Research Court in College Park: a 75,000-sf, Class A speculative project slated to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2018. Built-to-suit opportunities have continued to attract tenants, as is evident with Kaiser Permanente s 176,000 sf building at 4000 Garden City drive and the DHS/CIS headquarters at One Town Center, both currently underway.

When the Purple Line delivers in 2020 it will connect College Park to the western Suburban Maryland submarket. As tenants seek out Metro-proximate locations, College Park becomes a new viable option for tenants that are looking to leave the more landlordfavorable Bethesda/ Chevy Chase submarket. As 5801 University Research Court gets closer to delivering and no preleasing occurs, the market can expect to see a rise in vacancy with 75,000 sf of inventory coming online. In addition, it is clear that as the federal government continues to seek locations that offer a value compared to traditional enclaves, Prince George s County should continue to be a net beneficiary of GSA consolidations.

Frederick County Market Indicators *Arrows = Current Qtr Trend Vacancy 17.3% Net Absorption (420,919 SF) Under Construction Deliveries $15.21 Frederick County continued to experience diverse market fundamentals through the fourth quarter of 2017. Year-to-date new leasing activity closed the quarter at 128,016 square feet (sf). Most new leasing activity was recorded in the first two quarters of 2017 thanks in large part to CSRA leasing 33,360 sf at 110 Thomas Johnson Drive and Asbury Communities taking 26,380 sf at 5285 Westview Drive. The largest lease of the fourth quarter was signed by an undisclosed tenant for 2,020 sf at 5301 Buckeystown Pike. Given sluggish leasing activity, quarter-to-date absorption closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at a slightly negative 3,430 sf. There were a handful of small move-outs that contributed, and with limited, large new-to-market tenant s future absorption activity is expected to remain relatively flat. Overall vacancy closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at 17.3% a 10-basis-point (bps) increase quarter-over-quarter. Class A vacancy remained significantly tighter, closing the fourth quarter at 13.0% 500 bps lower than Class A vacancy in Montgomery County and 720 bps lower than Class A vacancy in Prince George s County. Average rents for all classes in Frederick County closed the fourth quarter of 2017 at $15.21 per square foot (psf) a 1.4% increase quarter-over-quarter. Class A overall average asking rent was $22.00 psf at the close of the quarter, $8.16 lower than Suburban Maryland s overall Class A average of $30.16 psf.

However, Frederick County s affordable rental rates make the submarket a viable option for tenants looking to lease a large amount of space at low rental rates.

Methodology & Definitions Methodology Market statistics are calculated from a base building inventory made up of office properties deemed to be competitive in the typical Washington, DC office market. Single-tenant buildings and privately-owned buildings in which the federal government leases space are included. Generally, owneroccupied and federally-owned buildings are not included. Older buildings unfit for occupancy or ones that require substantial renovation before tenancy are generally not included in the competitive inventory. Vacant space is defined as space that is physically vacant and available immediately. Sublet space still occupied by the tenant is not counted as vacant space. Explanation of Terms Total Inventory: The total amount of office space (in buildings greater than 10,000 square feet) that can be rented by a Fourth party. New Space Vacant: First generation, never-occupied office space in newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings, being actively marketed by a landlord. Relet Space Vacant: Secondgeneration, unoccupied office space being actively marketed by a landlord. (Space that is marketed but largely occupied is not counted as vacant space.) Sublet Space Vacant: Secondgeneration, unoccupied space being actively marketed by a tenant. (Sublet space that is marketed but still occupied is not counted as vacant space.) Total Space Vacant: The sum of new, relet, and sublet space that is unoccupied and being actively marketed. Vacancy Rate: The amount of unoccupied space (new, relet, and sublet) expressed as a percentage of total inventory. (Total Space Vacant divided by Total Inventory.) Total Space Available: The total amount of space, both vacant and occupied, being actively marketed for lease by a tenant or landlord. (This includes space that is currently occupied but marketed for future availability.) Availability Rate: The total amount of space being actively marketed for lease (both vacant and occupied) expressed as a percentage of total inventory. (Total Space Available divided by Total Inventory.) Absorption: The net change in occupied space between two points in time. (Total occupied space in the previous quarter minus total occupied space in the current quarter, quoted on a net, not gross, basis.) New/Relet/Sublet Absorption: The net change in occupied new, relet, and sublet space between two quarters. Total Absorption: The net change in total occupied (new, relet, and sublet) space between two quarters. New Leasing Activity: The sum of all square footage underlying any leases between two quarters. This includes pre-leasing activity as well as expansion. It does not include renewals. Disclaimer This report and other research materials may be found on our website at www.cushmanwakefield.com.
