What Worries YOU What will become of obsolete, suburban product that is not near Metrorail? Uncharacteristically high vacancies in Arlington County. Staying ahead of rapidly changing office space needs. Seeing a 15-20% square footage reduction in at least 1/3 of my renewals. Are we cannibalizing lease expirations in 2016, 2017 and beyond by doing early recasts of leases NOW? Where are the tenants coming from to fill the I-395 corridor? GSA tenants are having a harder time affording Metrorail locations. Where will the new jobs be coming from? Potential of rising interest rates.
Market Takeaways In Favor: Mixed Use Around Metro New Competition: Rosslyn to Reston Tenant Demand Drivers: Old and New Rightsizing is Not Over Most Valuable Real Estate is in Shell Condition New Construction and Repositioning Work is WHAT you do, not WHERE you do it
