The CBD had a quiet fourth quarter but a strong 2014 overall, recording 477,000 SF of absorption for the year. Class A direct vacancy is down to 5.8% from 6.7% at year-end 2013, and Class B direct vacancy dropped to 7.3% from 10.2% over the same period. Rental rates climbed throughout 2014 as competition for top tier space remained high. Asking rents for Class A and B were $42.71 per SF gross and $28.13 per SF gross, respectively. 609 Main at Texas is still looking to sign its first prelease, which became more difficult recently with the decline in oil prices. There are several proposed buildings in the submarket, but it is unlikely that any will break ground in 2015 given the uncertainty in the energy market.

SnapShot

The Energy Corridor continues to have the largest development pipeline of any submarket in Houston with over 6.0 million SF under construction at 58% preleased. Even with almost 2.5 million SF in deliveries in 2014, overall direct vacancy only edged up to 6.6%, from 4.9% at year-end 2013, a credit to the strong preleasing activity in the submarket. Leasing velocity will likely slow in 2015 as energy companies hold expansion plans in the current energy climate.

SnapShot

The Westchase submarket saw a healthy level of leasing activity this quarter, which was overshadowed by 407,000 SF of deliveries at only 21% preleased. Class A direct vacancy shot up to 9.6% from 7.8% last quarter and 6.0% at year-end 2013, while Class B direct vacancy rose to 10.0% from 9.1% at third quarter and 8.8% at end of last year. There are several large blocks of space available, including Statoil’s 311,000 SF of sublease space recently put on the market due the steep decline in oil prices. The company signed a long-term lease for 581,000 SF in the fall of 2013 and had yet to even move into its new spaces. Leasing velocity may slow in 2015 as energy companies take a wait and see approach in the current environment.

The Woodlands continues to have the second largest development pipeline of any submarket in the Houston metro. Close to 3.1 million SF is still under construction after the delivery of the first phase of Exxon’s campus, 1.0 million SF, and Southwestern Energy’s campus, 515,000 SF in the fourth quarter. Even with over 3.0 million SF of deliveries total in 2014, direct vacancy for all classes of space only rose to 4.6%, from 4.0% at year-end 2013. Net absorption was a record 2.8 million SF for the year, due in large part to corporate campus deliveries. Class A and B rental rates are both up year-over-year, finishing 2014 at $39.56 per SF gross and $25.63 per SF gross, respectively.

VACANCY RATES

NET ABSORPTION

RENTAL RATES (FSG)

SnapShot

Greenspoint/North Belt has significant opportunities for tenants looking for space, including 13 large blocks over 100,000 SF available for lease. With Exxon vacating more than 800,000 SF in 2014, the Class A market took a hit with direct vacancy rising to 19.9% from 9.5% at the end of 2014, and Class A absorption recording -568,000 SF for the year. Conversely, the Class B market fared well in 2014 with direct vacancy down to 15.0% and absorption at 101,000 SF for the year. Rental rates continued to climb for both classes, though that will likely change for Class A in 2015 as more large tenant move-outs take place.

The Northwest submarket had a quiet fourth quarter with Class A vacancy up to 20.8% for direct and 23.2% for overall. The large year-over-year vacancy increase is largely due to the loss of properties along the Beltway to the new West Belt submarket. Class B vacancy edged up to 15.1% for direct and 15.3% overall at fourth quarter. Rental rates were on the rise at year-end with Class A at $23.67 per SF gross, and Class B at $18.50 per SF gross. Class A net absorption was 7,000 SF for the quarter and 38,000 SF total on the year, while Class B had -36,000 for the quarter and was negative on the year as well at -35,000 SF total.
