HLC OUTLOOK The Central Business District (CBD) is the largest Houston office submarket, containing more than 50M SF of class A and B office space in an area totaling less than two square miles. Houston’s CBD continues to command the highest rents in the city with a current average of $39.46 per square foot for class A and B property types. The submarket is home to a large concentration of energy, professional and business services, and government tenants. Recent residential and retail developments, and the existing infrastructure of the underground tunnel system, have helped Houston’s CBD become a true live-work-play environment. At the close of 1Q 2020, the CBD submarket had a vacancy rate of 20.7% which was slightly higher than 4Q 2019. Absorption was negative with more than 300K SF, opposite of the 300K SF of positive absorption in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity remained solid with more than 940K SF of deals completed and activity was higher than the 750K SF of deals completed in 4Q 2019. Currently, 1.2M SF of office space is under construction in this submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK Other than the Greenspoint submarket, no major Houston office submarket besides the Katy Freeway West submarket was hit harder by the oil downturn. This submarket includes the Energy Corridor which is home to large energy corporations ConocoPhillips, Shell, and British Petroleum, among other energy and energy service related organizations. With the downturn of the energy sector, the Katy Freeway West submarket has transformed from a landlord-driven to a tenant-driven submarket. This submarket, along with most of the metro, has experienced a recent and significant flight-to-quality so these large corporations can continue to attract a talented workforce. At the close of 1Q 2020, the Katy Freeway West submarket had a vacancy rate of 21.2% which was over 1% higher than 4Q 2019. Absorption was positive with more than 360K SF, down from the 550K SF absorbed in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity remained strong with more than 250K SF of deals completed but still lower than the 430K of deals completed in 4Q 2019. Currently, no office space is under construction in this submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK
The Westchase office submarket is located 15 miles west of the CBD and five miles southeast of the Energy Corridor. Historically, this submarket has been popular with oil, gas, and engineering firms as it provides an alternative to the nearby Energy Corridor. However, given the concentration of energy related tenants in this submarket, demand in Westchase is affected by changes in the energy sector similar to the Energy Corridor. Westchase surpasses almost all other submarkets with its unrivaled ingress and egress, along with the submarket’s vicinity to Houston’s population center. These attributes make it an attractive alternative to CBD, West Loop, and other competing submarkets. At the close of 1Q 2020, The Westchase submarket had a vacancy rate of 25.0% which was higher than 4Q 2019. Absorption was negative by 340K SF, up from the 200K SF of negative absorption in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity consisted of 180K SF of deals completed and was lower than the 475K of deals completed in 4Q 2019. Currently, no office space is under construction in the submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK The Greenspoint/IAH office submarket continues to suffer more than any other submarket in Houston and there is unfortunately little to suggest this trend will reverse anytime soon. This northern Houston submarket’s vacancy rate was largely affected by the downturn within the energy sector and remains the highest in the city. Rents have fallen significantly and investors have been working persistently to rebrand the submarket. At the close of 1Q 2020, the Greenspoint/IAH submarket had a vacancy rate of 45.0% which was slightly lower than 4Q 2019. Absorption was positive by 68K SF, up from the 27K SF absorbed in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity remained steady with 160K SF of deals completed, almost the same as the 155K SF of deals completed in 4Q 2019. Currently, no office space is under construction in this submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK The West Belt submarket spans a quarter-mile along the West Sam Houston Parkway/Beltway 8 between Clay Road and Highway 249. This submarket houses nearly 7M SF of class A and B office space. The submarket’s proximity to the Energy Corridor makes it one of the most energydriven office markets in Houston. With the submarket’s heavy concentration of energy related tenants, the West Belt submarket felt the oil downturn more than most other submarkets. Notwithstanding this, the outlook for this submarket looks promising given its close proximity to the population center of Houston. At the close of 1Q 2020, the West Belt submarket had a vacancy rate of 22.1% which was higher than 4Q 2019. Absorption remained negative by 140K SF, lower than the 102K SF of negative absorption in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity remained steady with 46K SF of deals completed, but was lower than the 65K SF of completed deals in 4 2019. Currently, no office space is under construction in this submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK HLC’s Northwest/Highway 290 Corridor office submarket includes CoStar’s Northwest Near and Northwest Far submarkets. The struggles in this submarket over the past few years are primarily attributable to the extensive expansion and reconstruction of U.S. Highway 290 which has impacted traffic flow within the submarket. The 290 project is now complete and the submarket is starting to see an increase in activity, but the recovery is sure to take some time. Most of the more than 4M SF of class A and B office space is located in the vicinity of Highway 290 and Hollister Road. At the close of 1Q 2020, the Northwest/290 Corridor submarket had a vacancy rate of 18.3% which was lower than 4Q 2019. Absorption remained positive with 50K SF, up much higher than the 3K SF of absorption in 4Q 2019. Leasing activity remained steady with 43K SF of deals completed. Currently, no office space is under construction in this submarket.
