WASHINGTON, DC–As of the end of Q2, the District’s office leasing market is 372,745 square feet in the hole. Or, to use the correct industry term, year to date its absorbency is a negative net 372,745 square feet, according to JLL figures. It’s quite the comedown from the net positive 872,018 square feet delivered last year.
