District of Columbia Market Overview

Washington, D.C.'s economy is anchored by federal government operations, with a large ecosystem of contractors, law firms, and trade associations generating consistent office demand. The District has diversified into technology and life sciences sectors.

D.C.'s Height of Buildings Act limits most structures to 130 feet, constraining supply and supporting property values in the core. The District's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) gives commercial tenants the right of first refusal on property sales, which can complicate and delay CRE transactions. Federal lease expirations and the shift toward remote work have reshaped the office market, pushing investors toward adaptive reuse conversions of older office buildings into residential or mixed-use properties.

Commercial Mortgage FAQ

What's the difference between a commercial mortgage and a residential mortgage?
Commercial mortgages are for income-producing properties (5+ units, office, retail, etc.). They're underwritten primarily on the property's income, not the borrower's personal income. Terms are typically shorter with balloon payments.
