HOUSTON OFFICE MARKET
Houston’s Office Market Construction Pipeline Expands to
10.5M SF
Houston’s strong job growth, spurred by growth in the energy sector,
continued to boost Houston’s office market in the third quarter. More than
1.4M SF was added to Houston’s office inventory and, at the close of Q3,
10.5M SF of new office development was under construction. Energy giants
such as Chevron, Apache, BHP, and many others have announced plans to
build new office buildings to accommodate growth. Approximately 9.9M SF
of office space is either under construction (ExxonMobil, Shell and Anadarko)
or planned over the next two to three years.
The citywide average rental rate increased 2.0% from $24.31 per SF to
$24.80 per SF over the year and 1.5% from $24.43 per SF between quarters.
However, rental rates in some of the top-performing Class A buildings
increased by as much as 11.0% between quarters.
The Houston metropolitan area added 80,700 jobs between August 2012
and August 2013, an annual increase of 3.0% over the prior year’s job
growth. Further, Houston’s unemployment fell to 6.1% from 6.9% one year
ago, and Houston area home sales increased significantly between May and
August, 2013, up 16.2%.
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.

More than 1.4M SF was added to Houston’s office inventory and, at the close of Q3, 10.5M SF of new office development was under construction. Energy giants such as Chevron, Apache, BHP, and many others have announced plans to build new office buildings to accommodate growth. Approximately 9.9M SF of office space is either under construction (ExxonMobil, Shell and Anadarko) or planned over the next two to three years. The citywide average rental rate increased 2.0% from $24.31 per SF to $24.80 per SF over the year and 1.5% from $24.43 per SF between quarters. However, rental rates in some of the top-performing Class A buildings increased by as much as 11.0% between quarters. The Houston metropolitan area added 80,700 jobs between August 2012 and August 2013, an annual increase of 3.0% over the prior year’s job growth. Further, Houston’s unemployment fell to 6.1% from 6.9% one year ago, and Houston area home sales increased significantly between May and August, 2013, up 16.2%. 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.
