HOUSTON OFFICE MARKET
HOUSTON’S OFFICE MARKET BUILDING ON A BOOM –
9.4M SF UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Houston’s strong job growth continues to boost Houston’s office market in
Q1 2013. Although leasing momentum slowed in the first quarter, vacancy
levels only increased 10 basis points between quarters, and decreased by
120 basis points on an annual basis. Absorption slowed too, due to a lack of
quality blocks of space. Houston’s office market posted only 76,000 SF of
positive net absorption in the first quarter, much less than the 1.3M SF
posted in the same quarter one year ago. Absorption will pick up
momentum again later in the year when some of the 9.4 million SF of office
space under construction is delivered.
The citywide average rental rate increased slightly from $23.70 per SF to
$23.86 per SF over the year; however, some of the top-performing Class A
rental rates increased by as much as 8.5% to 10.0%.
The Houston metropolitan area added 118,700 jobs between February 2012
and February 2013, an astounding annual increase of 4.5% over the prior
year’s job growth. Further, Houston’s unemployment fell to 6.3% from
7.3% one year ago, which bolstered annual Houston area home sales by
17.1%.
With continued expansion in the energy industry and a strong housing
market, Houston’s economy is expected to remain healthy for both the near
and long-term.

VACANCY & AVAILABILITY
Although Houston’s overall average vacancy
rate increased 10 basis points between
quarters, vacancy decreased by 120 basis
points to 13.9% on an annual basis. Between
quarters, the average CBD vacancy rate
increased by 30 basis points to 14.0% from
13.7%, as additional sublease space was added
to the market. On a year-over-year basis, the
average CBD vacancy rate decreased by 110
basis points from 15.1%. Between quarters, the
average suburban vacancy rate increased by 10
basis points to 13.9% from 13.8%, and
decreased 130 basis points from 15.2% over
the year.
The CBD Class A vacancy rate increased by 210
basis points to 11.9% from 9.8% between
quarters. The CBD Class B vacancy rate
decreased more significantly moving 560 basis
points to 14.6% from 20.2%. The suburban
Class A vacancy rate decreased by 20 basis
points between quarters to 11.2% from 11.4%
and suburban the Class B vacancy rate
increased by 20 basis points to 16.3% from
16.1%.
Of the 1,716 buildings in the Houston office
market, only 43 have 100,000 SF of contiguous
space available for lease or sublease. Further,
only 19 have 200,000 SF of contiguous space
available. Citywide, available sublease space
totals 3.7 million SF or 1.9% of Houston’s total
office inventory, of which 1.6 million SF is
currently vacant.
ABSORPTION & DEMAND
Absorption slowed too, due to a lack of quality
blocks of space. Houston’s office market posted
only 76,000 SF of positive net absorption in the
first quarter, much less than the 1.3M SF posted
in the same quarter one year ago. Absorption
will pick up momentum again later in the year
when some of the 9.2 million SF of office space
under construction is delivered.
CBD Class A space posted the largest loss, with
286,000 SF of negative net absorption, mostly
due to the addition of sublease space vacated by
Devon. Some of the larger tenants that moved
into new space or expanded into additional
space during the first quarter include Energy
Transfer, moving into 220,000 SF in Travis
Tower which they purchased in late 2011; Noble
Energy moved into 497,124 SF in 20555 Hwy
249; Wood Group Mustang moved into 170,000
SF in Westgate 2 and Subsea 7 Inc. moved into
100,000 SF in Westgate 1. UHY Advisors TX,
LLC relocated to 90,000 SF in 2929 Allen
Parkway from 85,000 SF in 12 Greenway Plaza.

$23.86 from $23.70 per square foot on an
annual basis, but decreased between quarters
from $23.97 per square foot. The CBD Class A
average quoted rental rate decreased to $36.86
from $37.02 from per square foot between
quarters, while the suburban Class A average
quoted rental rate increased to $28.43 from
$28.20 per square foot. The average CBD Class
B quoted rental rate decreased to $24.77 from

quarter.
