Washington DC Market Report


WASHINGTON DC OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL REPORT

The single tenant Office/Industrial market is highly competitive today, however, this competitiveness varies due to the nature of the tenant and the relevant market. High credit tenants in primary – especially urban – markets are among the highest in demand. According to Costar the market for single tenant NNN investments is averaging 10,000 transactions a quarter. A majority of those were Retail spaces, Corporate and Regional HQ’s in Primary and Secondary Markets.  

Of these primary markets, none is more interesting than Washington DC. Many Investors and Corporations have excess cash holdings and seek less volatile investments than the open stock and bond markets. 
This trend has been realized through the increased activity of  Institutional  Investors, Private Equity Groups, and both publicly and privately traded REIT’s D.C. is particularly fascinating with the inclusion of Government and Government Contracting Tenants such as SAIC, Booz Allen, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, etc.
