Trends in Investment Sales and Leasing -- Everyone needs a Story
September 18, 2014
Program
On September 18, NAIOP Northern Virginia will host a breakfast seminar focused on investment sales and leasing with a distinguished panel of speakers who continue to close deals and grow their business. It's now six years after the credit crisis. Although leasing and sales volumes are well below historical norms, these trendsetters continue to buy, sell and lease prime real estate in the greater Washington region. The real estate fundamentals are challenging, so, owners and developers must innovate to differentiate their assets and achieve greater success in leasing and selling real estate. Our panelists' stories are interesting and informative ... don't miss out.
Topics will include:
- Does good design help you lease space, raise capital, and sell buidings?
- What is the impact of interior build-outs and design on residual value?
- How have tenant wants and needs changed over the last 10 years?
- Will tenants start growing again and if so, when?
- What is the "smart bet" in Northern Virginia?
- When will we start to see speculative office construction again? If so, where?
- If you can only pick one, would it be amenities or Metro?

Governor McAuliffe Luncheon
June 11, 2014
Governor McAuliffe at NAIOP Northern Virginia Luncheon, June 11, 2014
Program
-
"I'm going to do what I have to do to make sure that Virginia continues to be the leader, a global leader, in 21st century jobs, (that) our communities are safe, our folks are healthy and we have an effective transportation system."
Governor McAuliffe, Richmond Times-Dispatch, May 8, 2014
On June 11, NAIOP Northern Virginia welcomed Governor Terry McAuliffe to hear his thoughts on how he plans to accomplish these goals.
Inaugurated as Virginia's Governor in January of this year, McAuliffe has had an eventful five months on the job. He has worked with the General Assembly to pass legislation to reform Virginia's mental health system, streamline the state's Standards of Learning education tests, and establish a data-driven process for prioritizing transportation projects. The Governor is continuing to work with the legislature to end the standoff over the state's 2014-16 biennial budget and to determine whether Virginia accepts federal money to expand its Medicaid program. Meanwhile, in Northern Virginia, we are contemplating what our next economic drivers will be, which is not only critical to our region, but to the future success of the Commonwealth.
Throughout his life, McAuliffe has pursued entrepreneurial endeavors and built a reputation as a dealmaker in both business and in politics. As a longtime resident of our region, he has witnessed the growth of Northern Virginia and understands the various components of our current economy.
This was a great opportunity to hear insights from the Governor about how he plans to keep Virginia "Forbes magazine's number one state in the country for business."

REIT Update
May 28, 2014
Program
Many properties throughout the greater Washington area are owned by Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which operate somewhat differently than a privately held real estate company. In the past two years, we have seen a number or REITs making adjustments to their portfolios. Some have sold their holdings in a particular industry sector, others have entered new markets, and many are updating their older properties, all in an effort to produce a strong return for their investors. On Wednesday, May 28, please join NAIOP Northern Virginia for a panel discussion with several leaders in the REIT industry, who have significant holdings in the region. They will discuss their company's philosophy, their product focus, views on the local markets, and future real estate trends

Real Estate Trends in Higher Education
May 22, 2014
Program
Greater Washington is home to a wide range of first-class higher educational institutions, which impact our economy and provide services to the region's highly educated workforce and their employers. These colleges and universities are continually evolving to respond to the ever changing needs of their students and our community. On May 22, we will hear from a group of panelists, who represent different segments of Higher Education, about how their schools' programming drives their real estate strategy, and if the regional real estate market supports or challenges their programming.
As our panelists discuss changing educational delivery models and contexts, topics will include:
- Land use, property acquisition and location drivers
- Owned space versus leased space
- The importance of campus environments
- The differences in real estate strategy for public and private institutions
- The impact of non-traditional education delivery on real estate needs
