It has been a slow start to the year in Virginia’s office market. Vacancy continues to climb and absorption was negative statewide, though some regional markets had an uptick in absorption. Job growth continues in office-supporting sectors, particularly Professional/Technical Services, but the job gains are not translating into more leased office space. New office construction is slow and the few projects underway are concentrated in Northern Virginia and Richmond. Read the full report.
