Options for DC Government Contractors Seeking Affordable DC Office Space

The Obama administration’s new focus on healthcare and financial matters is expected to increase the number of jobs available in the nation’s capitol, particularly the number of opportunities for D.C. government contractors. Estimates predict that the number of job openings for this group will increase between 600,000 to 750,000 new positions in the next decade.

The increase, experts say, is expected to involve primarily private sector careers such as professional and business services, and will likely to be fueled by retirements, as more than 300,000 Baby Boomers begin to leave their jobs within the next five to seven years.

Unfortunately, with the national vacancy rate for office space hovering in the neighborhood of 17 percent, rental rates in Washington D.C. are also expected to increase, rising roughly 3 percent from their current rate of around $42 per square foot. Whether you are a newly employed contractor, or an established government employee rising in the ranks, choosing one of Metro Office’s Maryland, Virginia or DC office space locations can help you to spend less time and money on renting office space and more on accomplishing your work.
