Office demand surge: Law firms drive Washington DC's leasing market
- Law firms account for nearly one-third of total office demand at 32.6%, followed by non-profits and associations with a 21.7% share.
- Law firm, government, and non-profit/association tenants have stabilized DC’s post-pandemic leasing landscape as many office using tenants have since decreased their need for office space.
- Non-profit and association demand for office remains strong, while federal and local government demand has nearly ceased following the actions of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Trump administration’s effort to curb federal spending.
