Northern Virginia office market reports

Q2 2024

As we reach the halfway point of 2024, the Northern Virginia office market is still facing an uphill climb to reach the levels of sales and leasing velocities from pre-pandemic times. While the future of office utilization is still in flux, investors are slowly coming back into the market, partially due to the financial aspects of potential deals starting to fit their budgets, in conjunction with falling valuations of office properties. For investment activity, owner-occupier sales still account for more than half of the buyer profiles year to date. Legal Services and Aerospace/Defense companies have seen growth in their job postings, positioning Northern Virginia well for new companies entering the market and those that have been in the region to help spur the local economy. Venture capital investment has continued to stay strong this quarter, with many companies restructuring their debt in order to make new deals both in the realm of commercial real estate and the local economy as a whole.
