More than 2.1M SF was added to Houston’s office inventory and, at the close of Q1, 15.1M SF of new office development was under construction. Energy giants such as Apache, BHP, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, and Shell have expansion projects in the construction pipeline currently, and many others have announced plans to build new office buildings to accommodate growth.

The Houston metropolitan area added 91,300 jobs between January 2013 and January 2014, an annual increase of 3.4% over the prior year’s job growth. Local economists have forecasted 2014 job growth to remain strong, adding between 68,000 and 72,000 jobs. Houston’s unemployment fell to 5.6% from 6.9% one year ago. Houston area home sales increased 8.35% between February 2013 and February 2014 and the average price of a single-family home rose 12.5% over the year.

VACANCY & AVAILABILITY

Houston’s citywide vacancy rate fell 10 basis points between quarters to 12.0% from 12.1%, and dropped by 80 basis points annually from 12.8% in Q1 2013. Between quarters, the average CBD vacancy rate remained at 12.4%, while the average suburban vacancy rate decreased 250 basis points to 11.8% from 14.3%.

The average CBD Class A vacancy rate increased 20 basis points between quarters from 9.8% to 10.0%, and the average CBD Class B vacancy rate fell 10 basis points from 13.5% to 13.4%. The average suburban Class A vacancy rate decreased 60 basis points from 9.1% to 8.5%, and the average suburban Class B vacancy rate remained at 14.9%.

Of the 1,644 existing office buildings in our survey, only 43 have 100,000 SF of contiguous space available for lease or sublease. Further, only 16 have 200,000 SF of contiguous space available. Citywide, available sublease space totals 4.0 million SF or 1.9% of Houston’s total office inventory, but only 1.8 million SF of this sublease space is currently vacant.

ABSORPTION & DEMAND

Absorption increased in Q1 as new space was delivered and tenants expanded. Houston’s office market posted 2.3M SF of positive net absorption, a significant improvement over the 548,000 SF of negative net absorption posted in the same quarter one year ago.

Suburban Class A space posted the largest gain, with 2.2M SF of positive net absorption, mostly due to tenants expanding into new space in The Woodlands and Katy Freeway submarkets. Class A space in the CBD posted the largest loss, with 37,190 SF of negative net absorption.

Some of the larger tenants that moved into new space during Q1 include: Wood Group Mustang (186,000 SF) moved into Westgate II in the Katy Freeway submarket; C & J Energy Services (125,000 SF) moved into 3990 Rogerdale located in the Westchase submarket; Alliantgroup (125,000 SF) moved into 3009 Post Oak Blvd in the West Loop/ Galleria submarket; and JGC America, Inc. (52,000 SF) moved into Granite Briarpark Green in the Westchase submarket.

RENTAL RATES

The average citywide rental rate increased 2.5% from $25.45 per SF to $26.09 per SF over the quarter, and 6.1% from $24.59 per SF over the year. Average citywide Class A rents increased 3.7% and Class B rents increased 2.0% over the quarter.

The Class A average rental rate in the CBD increased 1.1% from $38.38 per SF to $38.80 per SF between quarters, while the suburban Class A average rental rate increased 4.9% from $30.34 per SF to $31.83 per SF.
