In a recent transaction with the building&#8217;s developer, Penzance, the research and analysis organization pre-leased approximately 173,300 square feet at the suburban Washington, D.C., project.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The search for space] was a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional broad-based examination, study and comparison,&#8221; Matthew D. Siegel a senior vice president and principal broker with UGL Services, told\u00a0<em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. &#8220;This was comprehensive.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0UGL represented CNA in the transaction, while Jones Lang LaSalle stood in for the landlord.<\/p>\n<p>CNA&#8217;s future home will be a 10-story building featuring premier, LEED Silver-certified office accommodations within a block of a Metro station. The tower will be one of two office structures that will grace the site; the eight-story 3003 Washington will offer approximately 70,000 square feet of office condominium space. Together the buildings will provide a total of 28,000 square feet of ground-level retail offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion of 3001 Washington in 2014, CNA will relocate from neighboring Alexandria, where it presently maintains its headquarters. &#8220;Their new space is approximately the same size but with improved efficiencies, it will be able to accommodate a greater workforce and a greater headcount in a more efficient environment,&#8221; Siegel said. The research company will move 600 employees to its new digs.<\/p>\n<p>CNA will leave a sizeable chunk of space behind when it leaves Alexandria in 2014. However, the Alexandria submarket, assuming it continues along its current path, may very well be in a position to absorb the square footage in a couple of years. The total vacancy rate for Class A office space dropped from 7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to a JLL report.<\/p>\n<p>And it appears Penzance should not have too much of a struggle leasing the remaining small amount of space at 3001 Washington. &#8220;The big picture is, the greater metropolitan Washington, DC, market is one of the most healthy, dynamic, vibrant, stable commercial real estate markets in the country, if not the world,&#8221; Siegel noted. &#8220;That said, submarket to submarket, differences are quite significant. The Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in which this transaction occurred reflects one of the more stable commercial office submarkets in a much more balanced environment for landlords and tenants.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction has not yet commenced on the 200,000-square-foot office building at 3001 Washington Blvd. in Arlington, Va., but it&#8217;s already near maximum occupancy, courtesy of a 173,000-square-foot commitment from CNA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1201,"featured_media":1004037089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21784,21781,21808,21742,21747,1615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004039834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brokerage","category-corporate-real-estate","category-featured","category-latest","category-office","category-washington-dc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
