Akridge

In 1974, John E. "Chip" Akridge, III founded the organization that bears his name with a plan to create a Washington-based commercial real estate leader. The firm has developed millions of square feet since, earning numerous awards, setting ground-breaking precedents, and generating important results for our Clients and investors.

In every aspect of commercial real estate, Akridge strives to exceed every standard.

With a range of services that includes all commercial real estate disciplines and executive involvement in every project on a daily basis, Akridge offers the capabilities that today's real estate challenges demand. We understand the Washington metropolitan region as only a locally-based market leader can, and we count among our Clients not only investors and property owners but the properties' occupants as well.

A full-service in-house leasing staff is yet another way the Akridge philosophy of service, flexibility and creativity maximizes value. Our leasing professionals are proactive, greatly expediting the lease-up of every new project and keeping the project leased throughout its lifespan. Through our comprehensive view of a project, we maintain the optimum balance between the investor's goals and the occupant's needs. Since 1974, our annual office vacancy rate has averaged less than 1% across our portfolio. This has been one-tenth the average vacancy rate of the overall Washington metropolitan market.

Their expertise, responsiveness, and diligence expedite the lease-up of each project, and keep Akridge properties leased throughout their lifespans, leading to average occupancy across the portfolio of better than 98% over the past decade. The team adeptly balances Ownership goals with building Clients' needs, while maintaining a sterling reputation among DC's brokerage community and dedicating effort and resources to keeping those ties strong.
