MARKET OVERVIEW

Second quarter office statistics in Northern Virginia reflect a stagnant market. Office vacancy closed at 15.4%, a drop of 10 basis points from the first quarter. No new buildings were delivered, and while net absorption was positive, there was a noticeable decrease in leasing activity compared to the first quarter.

The Northern Virginia Office market is in a state of uncertainty. With buzz terms like sequestration and fiscal cliff in the news, and with Presidential elections coming in November, businesses are hesitant to act until the future appears more certain. Huge companies are prepared to downsize or relocate, and the GSA continues to reduce its leasing footprint due to BRAC. Expect the uncertainty cloud to linger into 2013.

On the contrary, however, second quarter activity did shed light on businesses’ eagerness to move forward and to upgrade. Reston Town Center contract rates reached a new mile stone when Sterling-based Pixia leased 17,000 SF for $50 per square foot. The Fairfax submarket saw an unusual uptick in leasing activity when Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) leased 86,000 SF with expansion plans already in discussion. Palantir, a software and technology company, expanded their space in Tysons Corner by 50,000 SF. Crystal City, currently one of the softest submarkets in Northern Virginia, is still attracting major tenants; DRS Technologies even relocated their headquarters from New Jersey to Crystal City and leased 93,000 SF, this move draws huge implications.

The construction outlook also looks very optimistic with all projects being on-time or ahead of schedule.

Express Lanes (HOT lanes) on I-495 are scheduled to be usable by the end of the year and will help reduce commuter traffic. The second phase of Metro’s Silver Line, a multi-billion dollar project, was finally approved; the first phase is still scheduled to deliver in 2013. 1775 Tysons Boulevard, a 475,000 SF trophy project developed by Lerner, recently received financing and has broken ground, it is on time and expected to deliver in 2014. Construction for Tysons Tower, a 527,000 SF mixed-use trophy project developed by Macerich, is cranking on all cylinders, it is on time and expected to deliver in 2014.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The leading industries in the metro area are Government, Professional and Business Services, Trade, Transportation, and Utilities and Education and Health Services. Both the Government and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities industries experienced negative growth over the past 12 months (-0.1% and -0.8% respectively). Professional and Business Services experienced a 0.6% growth margin, and Education and Health Services added 14,300 jobs – good for a 4.9% change.

The Washington Metro Area Unemployment Rate dropped 40 basis points over the last year to 5.4% - well below the national average of 8.2%. One year ago, the national average was 9.1%. The delta of nearly one percentage point shows progress, but since January (a half year ago) the national unemployment has only dropped 10 basis points. Furthermore, hiring in the second quarter has waned as compared to the first quarter. This slowdown in hiring further exemplifies the holding pattern due to uncertainty.

SALES ACTIVITY

There were $319 million ($173/SF) of investment sales activity during the second quarter. While sales activity was seen in all corners of the market, most of it was concentrated in the Route 28 Corridor. In the south, Clark Enterprises sold Trinity Centre to Spear Street Capital – a sale of 4 Class “A” properties totaling $66.5 million ($136/SF). In the north, Tishman Speyer sold 3 Class “A” properties located on Ridgetop Circle to various buyers. These properties were part of a greater, 23-property portfolio sale that totaled over $338 million (individual prices were not recorded). Another noteworthy transaction was TA Associates’ sale of 1005 N Glebe Road to the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (WRIT). The 139,902 SF Class “A” building in Ballston sold for $52 million ($373/SF).

DELIVERIES AND CONSTRUCTION

Currently, there is 3 million square feet of office space under construction in Northern Virginia. The vast majority of the construction is happening in the RB Corridor, Tysons Corner, and Springfield submarkets. The RB Corridor is home to 928,535 square feet, or 30%, of all the office space under construction in Northern Virginia comprising of three properties. Consisting of 718,535 square feet of combined space, 1812 N Moore Street and 1776 Wilson Boulevard are expected to deliver within the next 16 months. The third building is 3001-3003 Washington Boulevard and will add 280,000 SF when it delivers in 2014. Fairfax County has 1.6 million square feet of office space under construction. Of all the construction in Fairfax County, 65% of it is happening in the Tysons Corner and Springfield submarkets. The Lerner Company has broken ground at 1775 Tysons Boulevard on a 475,000 square foot building that is expected to deliver in the 1st quarter of 2014. Tysons Tower, a 524,400 SF Macerich project at Tysons Corner Center, is also under construction and expected to deliver in 2014. In anticipation of the Dulles Metro Rail, many more projects will be breaking ground within the next few years.

There were no deliveries during the second quarter but several buildings are getting ready to deliver. 1776 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn is expected to deliver in the third quarter and will add 138,535 SF of office space to the inventory. The 5-story building is developed by Skanska and will have LEED Platinum status. NACD and CRDF have preleased this building for a combined total of 53,059 SF. 7770 Backlick Road in Springfield, a 240,565 SF office building designed to meet government security standards, is getting ready to deliver in the third quarter as well. It will be the first of four buildings delivering at Patriot Ridge, a 900,000 SF office park, in the next few years. The building is 42% preleased by General Dynamics. One Mosaic in Merrifield will deliver its 72,531 SF of office space in the third quarter. It has only been 8% preleased.

ABSORPTION

During the second quarter of 2012, Northern Virginia posted a modestly positive 260,195 SF of absorption. While the majority of the submarkets remained relatively flat, the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor (RBC) submarket paced Northern Virginia with positive absorption of 241,137 SF.

All of RBC’s positive absorption occurred among Class “A” buildings. The significant deals contributing to this fact were PAE’s leasing of 71,122 SF at 1320 N Courthouse, and Arlington County Public Schools’ leasing 62,000 SF at 2110 Washington Boulevard. The only other submarkets in Northern Virginia to boast over 100,000 square feet of absorption during the second quarter were Springfield (186,353 SF) and Tysons Corner (110,155 SF).

The most notable office lease in Northern Virginia during the quarter was a renewal. BAE renewed 133,808 SF at Reston Commons (11487 Sunset Hills Road) and occupies the full building.

Office space in Arlington County continued to take a hit during the second quarter, highlighted by the Crystal/Pentagon Cities submarket experiencing negative 452,481 square feet of absorption. The Crystal/Pentagon Cities submarket had the largest negative absorption total by any single submarket, largely due to BRAC and the Federal Government moving out of their fully-occupied buildings in Crystal City.

VACANCY

Total vacancy in Northern Virginia edged down 10 basis points to 15.4% during the quarter. The total vacancy rate in Northern Virginia has remained in the low-to-mid teens range over the past three years. Fairfax County experienced the most improvement during the second quarter as its vacancy rate decreased 40 basis points to 15.3%. Arlington County experienced just the opposite as its vacancy rate increased from 13.5% to 14.1%.

RENTAL RATES

The average rental rate continued its upward swing during the second quarter of 2012, finishing at its highest rate since year-end 2008. The overall asking rate averaged $30.77 per square foot, up from $30.49 in the first quarter and $30.41 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Class “A” rental rates averaged $34.08 during the second quarter, up from $33.86 the quarter prior. Class “B” rents increased to $29.20 from $29.05, but Class “C” rents decreased to $24.68 from $24.76. We expect rents to level off over the next 12 months as more vacant space floods the market.

LOOKING FORWARD

The greater Washington D.C. commercial real estate market is in a state of uncertainty right now. The real fear is the compounding of two upcoming factors that could make or break the local commercial real estate market in the near future. The first is the uncertainty of the upcoming election. Federal funding flows in distinctly different directions depending on the party that is in office. When Federal agencies are unable to make long-term decisions, the market slows. Secondly and most significantly are the massive budget cuts that will continue to take place regardless of the party in place after November. There are currently $1.2 trillion in mandatory Federal budget cuts over the next 10 years that are split fairly between Defense and Non-Defense agencies. But has always been the cases in history, crises are dealt with, lessons are learned and huge strides are made going forward. This particular time in history is no exception.

This has the effect of causing rental rates on larger spaces to affect the average more than that of smaller spaces. The weighted average rental rate is calculated by taking the ratio of the square footage associated with the rental rate on each individual available space to the square footage associated with rental rates on all direct vacant spaces, multiplying the rental rate by that ratio, and then adding together all the resulting numbers. Rental rate averages include Direct Vacant space and calculated at the quarter end.
