When originally announced in 2005, the recommendations of the Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) Commission were expected to result in:
• The relocation of between 35,000 and 56,000 jobs from Washington, D.C., Arlington
County and Alexandria, VA, and Bethesda, MD to Fort Belvoir, VA, Fort Meade and
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, and the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, VA.
• Signifi cant changes in commuting patterns for an estimated 19,000 to 30,000
employees from Washington, DC, Arlington, VA, Alexandria, VA, Bethesda, MD to Fort
Belvoir and Quantico, VA.
• The relocation of a number of defense contractors due to federal agency moves. For
every one federal job, history has shown 1.1 to 3 contractors will follow.
• An impact on up to 15 million square feet of public and private sector offi ce space.
Since the announcement of those recommendations in 2005, speculation has varied widely
on the impacts of BRAC-related moves on the DC-Baltimore employment market and
commercial real estate markets. This update explores the current and potential impacts
of BRAC on Northern Virginia (suburban Washington, DC) and Baltimore, including the
submarkets most likely to be affected, local employment trends, and the impact on offi ce
space.
2005 BRAC
What is BRAC? According to the US Department of Defense, Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) is “a Congressionally authorized process that the Department of Defense (DoD) uses
to reorganize its military base structure to meet increased national security requirements”.
BRAC 2005 was the fi fth round of this process, and focused on reshaping the DoD by
having multiple organizations share facilities. By statutory agreement, the realignment is
to be completed by September 15, 2011. The City of Alexandria and Arlington and Fairfax
Counties in Northern Virginia will be affected by the bulk of requirements for Fort Belvoir;
Anne Arundel and Harford Counties in Maryland will experience most of the BRAC changes
at Fort Meade and Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Although some BRAC-related moves are on track to meet the September 2011 deadline,
some relocations have been delayed. Not all BRAC-related offi ce space will experience a
mass exodus by the deadline. In Arlington County alone, 900,000 square feet of offi ce leases
have been extended through 2012; additional leases totaling 2.3 million square feet have
been extended through 2013 or later.
Even with a large amount of government-related offi ce space vacated in the near term,
Arlington County projects total employment to grow in both Crystal City and Pentagon City by
almost 50 percent over the next 15 years.

Arlington County could be the most signifi cantly affected jurisdiction due to BRAC-related
moves by the Department of Defense and its private sector contractors. This is especially
true for Crystal City and Pentagon City. The BRAC relocations are expected to have a great
impact on the local employment base and offi ce markets. Over 5.4 million square feet of
offi ce leases in 47 buildings are projected to be affected in Arlington as part of BRAC-related
moves. This accounts for approximately 17 percent of total offi ce inventory in Arlington
County, and approximately one-third of the inventory in the Crystal City submarket alone. In
fact, 3.7 million square feet of federal leases in Crystal City will be affected by BRAC.

Fort Belvoir
Fort Belvoir, located in southeastern Fairfax County, will be the new location for the headquarters of several U.S. Army and Department of
Defense (DoD) agencies. As such, Fairfax County and its surrounding areas are likely to be greatly impacted by the BRAC plan. The area
appeals to DoD agencies and federal contractors due to its proximity to Washington, DC and the Pentagon. As one of the largest employers
in Fairfax County, Fort Belvoir currently employs over 29,000 civilian and military personnel. According to the Fairfax County Economic
Development Authority, employment on and off base at Fort Belvoir is expected to grow by almost 43% and will eventually accommodate
19,300 civilian and military personnel from BRAC-related moves.
Agencies and facilities moving to Fort Belvoir include:
• National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA)
• A new 120-bed hospital with expanded specialty care facilities
(formerly medical care functions were provided at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center in Washington, DC)
• Missile Defense Agency
• Inventory Control Point functions from military bases in
Pennsylvania and Ohio
• Emergency Services Center (FBNA)
Currently, there are 20 separate building projects underway at Fort
Belvoir, both renovation and new construction. The projects total
almost 6.2 million square feet of offi ce space and 7 million square
feet of parking structures with total construction costs estimated at
approximately $4 billion.

Alexandria, VirginiaMark Center
When the BRAC recommendations were fi rst announced, an estimated 7,200 jobs and 1.4 million square feet of space were to be transferred
out of Arlington County. Because of the great number of building sites transferring to Fort Belvoir and the lack of suffi cient infrastructure,
the Department of the Army and the Commonwealth of Virginia agreed to limit the number of units moving to the Fort Belvoir Engineering
Proving Ground (EPG). Consequently, the Army searched for a site that could be developed as an “annex” to Fort Belvoir. To address this
requirement, Action 133 created Mark Center in Alexandria, in close proximity to the Pentagon. The Army purchased Mark Center land from
Duke Realty in September of 2008. With 6,400 jobs and 1.4 million square feet of offi ce space, Mark Center will be one of the largest BRAC-
related projects.
Mark Center will accommodate personnel from multiple agencies and units that include but are not limited to:
• Washington Headquarters Service (WHS)
• Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA)
• Offi ce of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
• Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA)
• Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA)
• DoD Inspector General (DoDIG)
• DoD Education Activity (DoDEA)
The offi cial groundbreaking on the Mark Center site occurred in March 2009. The building is being developed to meet the LEED Silver Rating
requirements and have a “campus like” atmosphere; it is set to meet the statutory deadline of September 15, 2011.
The offi ce inventory in Springfi eld/Newington – in close proximity to Fort Belvoir -- is comprised of 3.5 million square feet in 77 buildings. The
majority of the Springfi eld submarket’s inventory consists of freestanding offi ce and industrial buildings. However, there are two existing offi ce
parks in Springfi eld/Newington: MetroPark and Kingstowne.
As relocated agencies begin to settle in Fort Belvoir, Springfi eld will see demand for space from government contractors desiring proximity to
the respective agencies they support. Due to Springfi eld’s low vacancy rate and few large block options in existing buildings, new construction
may be the only way to meet new space needs.
• MetroPark: MetroPark buildings currently under construction include MetroPark VII -- fully leased to VSE Corporation, and MetroPark
VI -- where the Tauri Group preleased 75,000 square feet. MetroPark VII broke ground in the second quarter of 2010 and is scheduled
to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2011. MetroPark VI broke ground in the third quarter of 2010 and is scheduled to deliver in the fi rst
quarter of 2012.
• COPT/Patriot’s Ridge: Corporate Offi ce Properties Trust (COPT) broke ground in the fall of 2010 on Patriot’s Ridge, located just beyond
the Engineering Proving Ground. This 240,000 square foot building is scheduled to deliver in 2012, but construction commenced
without any preleasing. COPT plans for the park to eventually accommodate fi ve buildings totaling almost one million square feet.

Anne Arundel County, MarylandFort Meade
Fort Meade is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, southwest of Baltimore. It is one of the largest military bases in the United States
and is home to the fourth largest workforce on any U.S. Army installation, hosting 40,000 military, government service civilian and contractor
employees. The National Security Agency (NSA) is the largest agency currently located on-base. According to the Installation Management
Community (IMCOM), Fort Meade generates $2.2 billion annually in contracts. BRAC-related moves will bring an estimated $550 million
annually in additional contracts.
As a result of BRAC 2005 decisions, Fort Meade will be the host facility for three DoD agencies that are relocating:
• The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) will relocate from its current location in Arlington, VA to Fort Meade, MD. It is the
largest agency moving to Fort Meade. DISA will absorb 1,000,000 square feet of offi ce space in fi ve buildings. The project is scheduled
to be completed in February 2011 and will be the largest offi ce complex in Anne Arundel County.
• The Colocation of Defense/Military Adjudication Activities encompasses 152,000 square feet and will cost an estimated $51 million.
• Defense Media Activity (DMA) construction includes 186,000 square feet and will cost an estimated $78 million.
The relocation of these agencies also means
approximately 5,700 military, DoD civilians and
defense-related contractor employees will move
from other locations to work at Fort Meade.
In addition, the Howard County BRAC Offi ce
estimates an additional 9,000 off-base jobs could
be generated due to BRAC moves.
Even with these agency relocations from across
the DC-Baltimore region, Fort Meade is expected
to retain many of its current employees. For
example, DISA expects to retain up to 75 percent
of its 4,300 workers from the Arlington move.
This could mean fewer new jobs for local hires
around Fort Meade. We would expect this fi gure
to be lower, as the distance from Arlington to
Fort Meade is over 30 miles and thus would
signifi cantly impact the commuting patterns of
its workers.
Due to the expanded presence of government agencies at Fort Meade, developers and landlords can expect increased demand for offi ce
space to accommodate federal workers and government contractors. Business parks closest to Fort Meade are likely to be the greatest
benefi ciaries of BRAC-related demand. Planned construction in the area already has increased, though many of these developments have yet
to obtain fi nancing or commence construction.

Forte Meade Offi ce Locations
Four notable business parks with up to 10 million square feet of developable offi ce space are located in close proximity to Fort Meade:
• National Business Park (NBP), currently under development by COPT, is the closest business park to Fort Meade. One of NBP’s biggest
selling points is a bridge that connects the offi ce park directly to Fort Meade. The project is scheduled to deliver multiple buildings
totaling 863,000 square feet by 2012. The southern portion of the business park is already 100 percent preleased.
• Konterra Realty’s Annapolis Junction Business Park is expected to benefi t from BRAC-related moves as well. The National Security
Agency (NSA) awarded a contract to Konterra for a “Mega Center” -- a fully secured offi ce building -- on a speculative basis. This park
will be built to Sensitive Compartment Information Facility (SCIF) standards. As part of the agreement with Konterra, NSA will outfi t the
building with the appropriate infrastructure (IT, telecom, security).
• Independence Park at Odenton Town Center is planned for development by Halle Development. The 128-acre site adjacent to Fort
Meade can accommodate offi ce buildings with up to 3.5 million square feet of space. Initial development would include two 150,000
square foot offi ce buildings and a 1,200 space parking garage.
• Trammell Crow’s Enhanced Use Leasing (EUL) Development could contain up to 2 million square feet of development. The Army Corps
of Engineers awarded Trammell Crow EUL space at Fort Meade to accommodate federal contractors. While the land is not within the
gates of Fort Meade, it is still within close proximity.
The EUL program allows the military to partner with private industries by leasing underutilized assets to generate rent or receive “in kind”
services for the assets. This allows the military to lease land and/or buildings and receive income from on-base leased property. The
income from ground leases is typically up to 50 years.

Harford County, MarylandAberdeen Proving Ground
Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) will be the Department of Defense’s center for communications and software development, resulting from
the relocation of the following commerce centers:
• Command & Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Sensors & Reconnaissance systems (C4ISR)
• Army Test & Evaluation Command (ATEC)
• Joint Program Executive Offi ce for Chemical & Biological Defense (JPEO-Chem Bio)
• Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (MRICD)
As a result of BRAC, APG will experience job growth of 8,000 to 9,000 employees on base. Additionally, private sector contractors and
support-related workforce could generate 1.5 to 3 jobs per public sector job.
In addition, 28 new defense contractors have moved to Harford County and include:
MITRE – 54,000 square feet at North Gate
Raytheon- 80,000 square feet at The Gate
L-3 – 74,000 square feet at The Gate
CAC 1 – 60,000 square feet at The Gate
Boeing – 6,000 square feet at The Gate
General Dynamics – 10,000 square feet at The Gate
BRAC has enabled the following local contractors to expand:

Public and Private Sector SpendingAs the 2011 deadline for BRAC-related moves approaches, DoD spending on BRAC is
projected to drop signifi cantly to $2.2 billion dollars in 2011. At the same time, overall DoD
spending is projected to hold steady or increase slightly in Northern Virginia and Maryland
through 2011. Though, there is risk associated with possible decreases in defense
spending. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently announced mandates for a 10
percent per year reduction (called 10, 10, 10) in defense contractor spending over the next
three years.
Northern Virginia and Maryland have traditionally received a large portion of Department
of Defense (DoD) spending. Additionally, government contractors have benefi ted from
increases in procurement spending. If we use historical growth levels as a guide to future
projections for DoD expenditures and procurement (contractor) spending, Fairfax County
alone could receive up to $14.5 billion in DoD Total Direct Expenditures and $13.6 billion in
procurement spending by 2011.

Government ContractorsThe full impact of BRAC-related developments on local defense contractors remains uncertain. It is estimated that for every federal job
that moves, 1.1 to 3 government contractor jobs will follow. However, many of the contractors are already located in Northern Virginia and
Maryland and would most likely remain in their current locations, at least in the short term. The distances between contractors’ current
locations and the Mark Center or Fort Belvoir are not signifi cantly different, although in the longer term, the resulting increases in traffi c along
I-395 and I-95 may encourage businesses to move closer to Fort Belvoir, Fort Meade, and Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Since the announcement of the 2005 BRAC recommendations, the total net impact on the DC metro continues to evolve. According to the
latest information, we foresee the following:
• Over 5.4 million square feet of offi ce space will be impacted in Arlington County, with approximately one third of the total offi ce inventory
in Crystal City.
• While this presents a risk for the Arlington offi ce market, it also offers a rare opportunity for redevelopment. As of this writing, Crystal City
recently approved a 40-year plan that will include major renovations or redevelopments of several buildings in the area.
• Although many agencies will meet the 9/15/11 deadline, many will need to extend their leases in order to buy time. In Arlington County
alone, one-third of BRAC-affected offi ce space will be released in 2010/2011, while the other two-thirds will be released in 2012 or later.
• Some BRAC moves will have a “domino effect” on offi ce buildings. For example, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) will
vacate two buildings in Reston, Virginia as part of BRAC requirements. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) will backfi ll space in these
buildings by relocating from the Clarendon and Skyline submarkets in Northern Virginia. The Federal Government will either need to fi nd
new tenants for this vacated space, or the offi ce space will need to be retrofi tted for private sector use.
• Roads, infrastructure, and public transportation around Fort Belvoir, Fort Meade and the Mark Center will be stressed as commuting
patterns change.
• In the medium- to long-term, opportunities will exist for retail and housing to accommodate increases in employment at the Forts. In
contrast, areas from which a large number of jobs will be relocating (like Crystal City) could be negatively impacted.
• Plans change. When the BRAC recommendations were fi rst announced, an estimated 7,000 jobs of the Washington Headquarters
Services were to relocate from Alexandria to Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Since then, 6,400 jobs are planned to transfer instead to the 1.4 million
square foot Mark Center in Alexandria in close proximity to the agency’s current location.
• Overall, regional DC-Baltimore employment should remain healthy in spite of BRAC moves. For example, jobs will relocate from Crystal
City in Arlington County to Mark Center in Alexandria. The two locations are located only a few miles apart from each other, thus the net
impact from this move should be minimal.
• Defense contractors will NOT move immediately to coincide with agency moves. Any private business relocations will happen gradually.
Moves will depend on the types and longevity of agreements contractors have with the DoD and existing lease agreements. However,
the areas with the most opportunity for increased offi ce space demand are in close proximity to Fort Belvoir, Fort Meade, and Aberdeen
Proving Ground.
• Large defense contractors will be cautious about future growth projections. For instance, Lockheed Martin recently announced more
conservative 2011 revenue projections due to anticipated defense spending cuts by the Federal Government.
