The Chesapeake submarket and the Hampton Roads region have historically
experienced balanced deliveries and net absorption. From 2000 to 2013, the submarket
has, on average, delivered 150 units and absorbed a net of 133 units annually, capturing
9% of rental absorption in the region. The Chesapeake submarket absorbed 418 units in
2011 and delivered 523 units in 2012 both marking the highest levels in at least two

decades. The submarket’s capture of regional rental absorption also reached a record
high of over 30% in 2012, though the long term trend points to future capture at around
10% to 15%. Chesapeake, like much of the region, is experiencing healthy vacancies
and rental rates. Though the submarket does not command rents as high as Kempsville
and Lynnhaven, it is located near the more expensive areas and has room to grow.
