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 YTD average of $39.96 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 3Q 2020, the CBD submarket had a vacancy rate of 21.1%, slightly higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption was negative with 98K SF of space given back, slightly higher than the 136K SF given back in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity increased with 400K SF of deals completed and activity was more than double the deals completed in 2Q 2020. 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 was hit harder by the oil downturn than the Katy Freeway West submarket. This submarket includes the Energy Corridor which is home to large energy corporations including 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 helping these large corporations to continue attracting a talented workforce. At the close of 3Q 2020, the Katy Freeway West submarket had a vacancy rate of 22.8%, nearly 2.0% higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption turned negative with 476K SF of space given back, down from the 31K SF absorbed in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity fell with 121K SF of deals completed with almost a third of deals completed in 2Q 2020. Currently, 150K SF of office product 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, providing 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 other energy dependent submarkets. 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 3Q 2020, The Westchase submarket had a vacancy rate of 25.7%, slightly higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption was negative by 102K SF, up from the 18K SF of negative absorption in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity consisted of 79K SF of deals completed, nearly half of the 160K SF of deals completed in 2Q 2020. Currently, no office space is under construction in the submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK The Greenway Plaza office submarket received its name from the eleven building, fifty acre, master-planned complex at the heart of the submarket. Given its convenient location between the West Loop, Medical Center, and CBD submarkets, Greenway Plaza continues to be one of the most desirable submarkets in Houston. Recent improvements to the master-planned Greenway Plaza complex and other recent developments in the area have helped breathe life back into this submarket. At the close of 3Q 2020, the Greenway Plaza submarket had a vacancy rate of 17.9% which was 2.5% higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption turned negative with 165K SF of space given back, up from the 51K SF absorbed in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity fell with just 116K SF of deals completed, significantly lower than the 976K SF of deals in 2Q 2020. Currently, no office space is under construction in the submarket.

HLC OUTLOOK HLC’s Northwest office submarket is located northwest of the CBD and starts at the transitioning Heights and Oak Forest/Garden Oaks communities and also 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 the major freeways which have impacted traffic flow within the submarket. The 290 project is now complete and the submarket is starting to see an increase in activity but recovery is sure to take some time. Most of the more than 10M SF of class A and B office space is located at Loop 610 and Highway 290 or in the vicinity of Highway 290 and Hollister Road. At the close of 3Q 2020, the Northwest submarket had a vacancy rate of 19.4%, which was barely higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption turned positive with 80K SF of space absorbed, up from the 6K SF of negative absorption in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity remained strong with 97K SF of deals completed. Currently, there is no office space 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. However, the outlook for this submarket looks promising given its close proximity to the population center of Houston. At the close of 3Q 2020, the West Belt submarket had a vacancy rate of 26.7% which was slightly higher than 2Q 2020. Absorption remained negative by 12K SF, much lower than the 262K SF of negative absorption in 2Q 2020. Leasing activity remained flat with 40K SF of deals completed, lower than the 50K SF of completed deals in 2Q 2020. Currently, no office space is under construction in this submarket.
