CONCLUSION Regardless, the Silver Line Metro stations will be an added benefit to Northern Virginia, as growth is expected We project 91,700 new jobs will be added within a half to be above average surrounding the stations. To take mile of the new Silver Line Metro stations from 2015 to advantage of this projected growth, we recommend 2040. With approximately 42,700 of these jobs office focusing on renovating older product to Class A space, using, this translates to 8.5 million square feet of office as most of the office inventory near the stations is older demand during this period, or 285,000 square feet per and will continue to age through 2040. Currently tenants year. This is above the average of 206,000 square feet in the market are seeking newer or fully renovated office absorbed annually during the past 10-years. Although space that is close to quality amenities and transit, a our projection is above the historical average, we believe trend we expect to continue. Notably, WRIT will spend a handful of factors are holding it back from greater gains. $35 million on renovating of 7900 Westpark to bring it to Class A status to attract tenants. To be competitive, we 1. The Silver Line Metro stations in Northern Virginia expect more property owners to follow suit in renovating are above ground, which limits growth immediately older stock to Class A. We believe new development is surrounding the station. warranted more so for Tysons Corner near the new Metro stations compared to the other submarkets impacted 2. The submarkets impacted by the Silver Line are already by the Silver Line. Although new development is not developed, due in large part to Tysons Corner and out of the question for Reston or Herndon, we believe Reston Town Center. Currently, there is a total of 69.4 developers should be cautious and select prime locations million square feet of office inventory in these four for new development as demand and supply will be more submarkets before the arrival of Metro. This compares in balance in these two submarkets. Notably, limited to the RCB Corridor, which was largely undeveloped new development could occur in the Route 28 North with only 5.6 million square feet of office inventory submarket near Metro, as the current office inventory is before the arrival of Metro in the 1980s. Today, the RCB relatively low. Corridor has 24.0 million square feet of office inventory. 3. Projected job growth is expected to be limited due to the tightening of the federal budget. We project an average of 30,000 new jobs per year from 2015 to 2040 for the entire area. This is below the 20-year annual average of 42,600.
