Washington
D.C.’s
Development
Potential

SUMMARY

In
the
coming
years,
job
growth
is
expected
to
fuel
a
continued
expansion
of
Washington,
D.C.’s

population
and
housing
market.
The
District’s
Office
of
Planning
estimates
that
if
the
population
and

economy
grows
at
medium
level
through
2040,
the
District
will
add
more
than
230,000
jobs,
requiring
the

addition
of
81
million
square
feet
of
office
and
retail
space
and
119
million
square
feet
of
residential

space.

1

Washington
is
expected
to
require
105,240
new
residential
units
by
2032
compared
to
the
2012

inventory.

2

More
than
60
percent
of
this
increase
will
need
to
come
from
multi-‐family
homes,
according

to
the
Center
for
Regional
Analysis
at
George
Mason
University.

3

And
if
property
tax
revenue
grows
according
to
city
projections,
that
would
help
produce
hundreds
of

millions
of
dollars
in
new
city
revenue
to
invest
in
areas
such
as
education,
infrastructure
and
affordable

housing
by
2032.

THE
BOOM

By
nearly
every
economic
and
demographic
indictor,
Washington,
D.C.
has
thrived
in
the
21st
Century.

Always
a
place
of
unparalleled
social
and
cultural
capital,
the
city’s
economy
has
stood
out
in
recent
years

and
helped
fuel
a
development
boom.
The
number
of
livable
and
safe
neighborhoods
has
been
expanding

rapidly,
driven
by
an
influx
of
young
professionals.

Here
are
the
remarkable
statistics:

! The
District’s
population
has
grown
by
more
than
15
percent
since
2000
–
to
about
659,000
in
2014.

! Home
price
sales
in
the
Washington
region
increased
by
169
percent
from
1994
to
2014,
the
third

largest
increase
of
any
major
metropolitan
region
in
the
U.S.

4

! Of
all
the
nation’s
major
metropolitan
regions,
the
Washington
area’s
median
income
is
the
highest

–
at
about
$90,000,
surpassing
the
second
tracked
city,
San
Francisco,
by
more
than
$10,000.

5

! 52
percent
of
D.C.’s
residents
who
are
at
least
25
years
old
have
a
Bachelor’s
degree,
a
higher
mark

than
any
of
the
50
states.

6
7

Young
professionals,
who
prefer
renting
to
owning
homes,
statistics
show,
have
fueled
the
population

surge.

8

For
the
first
time
in
40
years,
District
voters
between
the
ages
of
25
and
34
outnumbered
senior

citizens
in
the
2014
election,
the
Washington
Post
reported.

9

No
other
large
metro
area
has
a
greater

share
of
residents
in
that
age
group
(16
percent)
than
Washington,
according
to
Delta
Associates,
a
real

estate
consulting
firm.

10

As
a
result
of
this
growth,
D.C.’s
neighborhoods
have
transformed
more
than
those
of
any
other
U.S.
City

except
Portland,
Oregon,
according
to
Governing
Magazine.
The
publication
tallied
neighborhoods
that

were
relatively
low-‐income
in
2000
but
had
experienced
relatively
high
growth
in
educational
attainment

and
home
values
by
2013.

3

Some
have
questioned
whether
D.C.’s
transformation
is
complete,
whether
the
city
has
reached
capacity.

The
city’s
leaders
do
not
think
so.

D.C.
Mayor
Muriel
Bowser
was
interviewed
on
MSNBC
in
July
2015.
She
said:

In
fact,
the
city’s
growth
is
not
expected
to
halt
at
800,000.
The
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of

Government
projects
it
could
reach
nearly
900,000
by
2040.

STEADY
ECONOMIC
GROWTH

Even
after
federal
spending
cuts
that
began
in
2013
and
weaker
job
growth
in
2013
and
2014,
the
region’s

economy
is
still
growing.
The
region
added
68,500
jobs
from
June
2014
to
June
2015,
knocking
down
its

unemployment
rate
by
.5
percent.
The
jobless
rate
sits
at
4.8
percent,
lower
than
the
national
rate
of
5.3

percent.

13

In
its
second
quarter
report,
Delta
Associates
provided
the
following
economic
forecast
for
D.C.:

“The
employment
picture
in
the
Washington
metro
area
is
projected
to
improve
over
the
next
few
years.

Specifically,
we
expect
the
region
to
add
about
36,000
jobs
in
2015,
49,000
jobs
in
2016,
and
peak
at

58,000
jobs
in
2017.
This
job
growth
will
support
healthy
growth
in
the
residential
real
estate
industry,

though
not
at
levels
experienced
in
prior
expansion
cycles.”

HOUSING
MARKET
DEMAND

The
housing
market
is
thriving,
in
terms
of
sales
volume
and
prices.
In
June,
monthly
sales
reached
5,652,

the
highest
level
in
nine
years
and
an
increase
of
13
percent
from
a
year
ago,
according
to
RealEstate

Business
Intelligence.

14

The
Washington
Post
summed
up
the
activity
this
way:
“Buyers
in
the
D.C.
Metro

region
are
snapping
up
homes
at
a
pace
not
seen
since
the
housing
boom.”

15

Prices
are
up,
too.
The
Median
sales
price
reached
$440,000
by
2013,
jumping
33
percent
from
its
low

point
in
2010.

16

Price
growth
has
slowed
since
then
but
there
is
a
good
reason
for
that:
slower
job
growth.

D.C.’s
housing
market
also
recovered
from
the
recession
earlier
than
other
metro
areas,
which
are
now

surpassing
the
District
in
price
growth,
according
to
Delta
Associates.

17

In
other
words,
the
D.C.
market
has
shown
itself
to
be
resilient
even
in
a
less-‐than-‐ideal
economy.
In
its

second
quarter
housing
market
report,
Delta
Associates’
outlook
for
the
region’s
housing
market
was

positive.
“Despite
the
recent
slight
price
depreciation,”
the
report
said,
“the
regional
housing
market

remains
among
the
most
stable
in
the
nation,
and
anticipated
job
growth
should
drive
a
resurgent

housing
market.”

18

Demand
for
apartments
in
D.C.
remains
red
hot.
The
market
has
been
absorbing
apartments
at
a
record

pace
of
more
than
16,000
per
year,
well
more
than
double
the
10-‐year
average.

UNITS
NEEDED

To
meet
all
this
demand,
the
District
will
need
about
105,000
new
residential
units
by
2032,
according
to

the
Center
for
Regional
Analysis
at
George
Mason
University.

20

The
city
will
have
to
issue
about
4,000

more
housing
permits
each
year
through
2032
than
it
did
from
1990
to
2012.

21

Of
the
105,000
new
units,
more
than
67,000
will
be
multi-‐family
homes,
the
vast
majority
for
rent.
The

remaining
38,000
will
be
single-‐family
homes,
more
than
two-‐thirds
of
those
will
be
owned,
according
to

the
Center
for
Regional
Analysis
at
George
Mason
University.

22

The
Center
for
Regional
Analysis
also
provides
an
estimate
of
the
economic
makeup
of
these
homes.
Of

the
more
the
47,000
new
households
coming
by
2023,
37
percent
will
make
at
least
120
percent
of
the

area’s
median
income.

23

Another
22
percent
will
make
between
80
and
120
percent
of
the
median

income.
The
remaining
41
percent
will
be
low-‐income,
highlighting
the
ongoing
challenge
of
building

enough
affordable
housing
in
the
District.
Mayor
Bowser
campaigned
on
a
platform
to
address
that

problem,
and
successfully
pushed
for
a
record
$100
million
commitment
to
the
city’s
affordable
housing

trust
fund
in
her
first
budget.

Meeting
the
aggregate
demand
for
housing,
if
economic
growth
remains
strong,
will
also
be
a
challenge.

The
District
is
expected
to
run
out
of
development
space
in
less
than
30
years,
Washingtonian
Magazine

reported.

24

The
Office
of
Planning
estimates
that,
under
current
zoning
laws,
there
is
190
million
square

feet
of
total
commercial
and
residential
capacity
remaining
in
the
city.
Yet
if
the
District
grows
at
a

breakneck
pace,
it
will
require
317
million
square
feet
of
new
development
space
by
2040.

25

To
address
that
need,
the
Office
Planning
has
recommended
making
the
Height
Act,
which
limits
the

height
of
District
buildings,
more
flexible
to
better
meet
the
demands
of
residential
and
commercial

growth.
The
magazine
adds
some
solutions
too:
more
common-‐sense
zoning
laws
and
more
creative
uses

of
existing
land,
and
echoes
the
need
to
remove
the
strict
building
height
cap.

26

Future
real
estate
development
is
a
big
part
of
the
creating
shared
prosperity
in
the
city.
In
2016,
the
city

expects
real
property
tax
revenue
to
be
about
$2.3
billion,
an
annual
increase
of
6
percent.
From
2017
to

2019,
the
city
projects
property
tax
revenue
growth
to
slow
to
about
3.5
percent.
If
that
same
rate
were

to
continue
until
2032,
the
increases
in
property
tax
revenue
would
create
about
$604
million
in
new

revenue
for
the
city
(in
2016
dollars).

27

Specifically,
the
increases
in
property
tax
revenue
would
generate

$151
million
for
schools,
$163
million
for
human
resources
and
low-‐income
programs,
and
$54.3
million

for
public
works.

28

NEIGHBORHOODS
TO
INVEST
IN

There
are
also
so
many
great
residential
investment
opportunities
all
over
the
District,
in
many

neighborhoods
that
have
traditionally
been
overlooked
by
institutional
investors.
Evergreen
Private

Finance
is
active
in
many
of
these
neighborhoods,
including
Fort
Totten,
Petworth
and
Brightwood
Park.

They
are
among
the
city’s
fastest
growing
neighborhoods,
are
already
well
connected
to
the
city’s

infrastructure,
have
a
strong
sense
of
community,
and
share
a
close
proximity
to
Downtown
Washington.

They
also
happen
to
be
where
some
of
the
most
shovel-‐ready
development
opportunities
exist
in
the

District.
The
Office
of
Planning
analyzed
parcels
in
D.C.
to
determine
which
have
the
most
existing

development
capacity.
It
identified
vacant
or
under-‐developed
properties,
and
they
were
most

concentrated
Northeast
Washington
(in
neighborhoods
like
Fort
Totten).

Fort
Totten,
NE

The
opportunity
to
be
right
near
a
national
park,
a
Metro
Station
on
both
the

Red,
Green
and
Yellow
Lines,
and
a
bike
trail,
along
with
zoning
that

encourages
mixed-‐use
development,
has
made
Fort
Totten
one
of
the
most

attractive
places
to
buy
or
rent
a
home
in
the
District.

Investors
are
making
out
so
well
that
Redfin
named
the
neighborhood
the

sixth-‐best
place
to
flip
a
home
in
the
nation
in
2013.

29

There
is
a
great

inventory
of
classic
rowhouses
both
in
Fort
Totten
and
in
Riggs
Park,
the
leafy,

quieter
neighborhood
to
its
north
that
experienced
the
highest
growth
in
the
value
of
its
housing
stock
of

any
other
neighborhood
in
D.C.
in
2016:
16
percent.

30

Traditionally,
residents
in
those
rowhouses
did
not
have
much
in
the
form
of
shopping
or
restaurants.

That
is
no
longer
the
case.
Big
developments
keep
cropping
up
in
the
area
right
around
the
Metro.
This

year
came
news
that
a
345-‐unit
mixed-‐use
residential
development
will
replace
a
parking
lot
next
to
the

Metro.
Another
developer
announced
it
would
build
37
luxury
townhomes
nearby.

31
32

H&R
Retail
is
set

to
complete
Art
Place
at
Fort
Totten,
a
major
residential,
retail
and
cultural
space,
by
the
end
of
2016,

according
to
leasing
agent
David
Ward.
The
project
is
planned
to
hold
520
luxury
apartments,
about

90,000
square
feet
of
retail,
a
children’s
museum
and
other
art
space.

7

Petworth,
NW

Petworth
is
at
a
more
advanced
stage
of
development
than
Fort
Totten.

Stocked
with
rowhouses
and
single-‐family
homes
with
expansive
porches,

the
area
is
full
of
hip
cafes,
restaurants
and
grocery
stores.
It’s
right
on
the

Green
and
Yellow
Lines.
A
155-‐unit
luxury
apartment
building
with
ground-‐
floor
retail
lies
on
the
same
block
as
the
Metro.

But
home
prices
are
still
booming.
Petworth
was
the
best
neighborhood
in

the
country
to
flip
a
home
in
2013,
with
investors
gaining
an
average
of
$312,400.

33

The
numbers
have

kept
going
up,
with
the
median
sales
price
at
$534,000
in
the
first
quarter,
a
23
percent
increase
from
the

year
before.
And
the
average
sale
price
was
96
percent
of
the
listed
price.

34

Despite
the
changing
demographics,
neighborhood
watchers
say
the
area
has
maintained
its
diversity
and

strong
sense
of
community.

“The
good
parts
about
the
neighborhood
have
stayed
the
same,
and
that
probably
contributes
to
why
it’s

so
hot
right
now,”
Petworth
blogger
Dan
Silverman
told
the
Washington
Post.

35

Brightwood
Park,
NW

Just
up
Georgia
Avenue
from
Petworth
is
Brightwood
Park.
Similar
with
a

great
stock
of
old
homes
and
its
diversity,
but
different
in
that
it’s
a
bit
less

accessible
to
the
Metro
and
has
fewer
shops
and
cafes.
That
has
begun
to

change,
with
more
amenities
popping
up,
and
housing
developments,
too,

like
a
modern
16-‐unit
building
set
to
come
to
the
area,
according
to

documents
filed
in
July.

36

Jason
Story,
who
opened
a
charcuterie
shop
there
four
years
ago,
told
the
Washington
Post
he
has

witnessed
his
store
become
a
gathering
place
for
neighborhood
regulars.
“We
see
a
lot
of
young
families,

and
a
lot
of
highly
educated
people
who
know
enough
to
move
in
where
real
estate
is
cheap,”
he
said.

37

The
exact
location
of
the
neighborhood’s
borders
seems
to
confuse
lots
of
people,
and
a
larger

neighborhood
called
Brightwood
(with
a
Walmart
and
a
Safeway),
lies
to
its
north.
In
Brightwood,
the

median
home
sale
price
increased
by
13
percent
in
2015
–
to
$450,000
–
and
the
amount
of
time
a
listing

stayed
on
the
market
dropped
36
percent
to
53
days.

38

D.C.’s
Development
Potential

Home
prices
and
rents
are
projected
to
maintain
their
steady
climb
as
record-‐setting
demand
continues
in

the
market
for
D.C.
apartments.
There
is
vast
development
potential
in
the
neighborhoods
profiled
in
this

paper.
As
Delta
Associates
reported,
“Over
the
long
term,
the
Washington
metro
area
housing
market
has

performed
consistently
better
than
other
metro
areas’
housing
markets,
and
is
among
the
most
stable
in

the
nation.”

39

What’s
more,
if
the
government
adopts
creative
solutions
to
find
more
development
space,
in
the
long

run
the
housing
market
would
be
able
to
grow
even
more.
With
the
city’s
current
leadership
seeking
to

accommodate
continued
population
growth,
there
is
good
reason
to
think
it
will.

The
D.C.
blog
Urban
Turf
posed
a
question
to
David
Versel,
a
former
researcher
at
George
Mason

University’s
Center
for
Regional
Analysis,
who
now
works
for
Delta
Associates,
about
whether
this
high

demand
in
the
housing
market
can
continue.
Or,
the
blogger
asked,
will
all
these
new
projects
go
without

renters
and
buyers?

40

Versel
saw
three
reasons
for
optimism:
strong
job
growth
expected
through
2017,
the
continued
demand

for
rentals
due
to
flat
wages
and
rising
home
prices,
and
the
expectation
that
millennials
will
start
forming

households
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
