Industrial Market Report
The Houston Industrial Market Even with a flood of industrial inventory and continued new construction across the city, vacancy is still slightly down from last quarter. With a large amount of new construction on the horizon through the second half of the year, we’ll continue to keep a close eye on vacancy rates to see if inventory catches up with demand. Net absorption of industrial space reached a positive 2,120,817 square feet in the second quarter, but absorption was almost equaled by 2,033,291 square feet of deliveries in 37 newly constructed buildings. The first quarter of 2014, by comparison, saw a net absorption of positive 1,825,186 square feet with a total in deliveries of 3,032,780 square feet. The total Industrial market vacancy rose from a 5.1% low in early-to-mid 2013 to its current level of 5.3% as a result. Flex projects reported a vacancy rate decrease from the end of the first quarter of 0.9%, down to 7.9%, with a year-to-date net absorption of positive 294,389 square feet. Warehouse project vacancy increased from 5.0% to 5.1% over the quarter, as well, with a positive net absorption of 3,651,614 square feet, which was unable to match-up to the new 5.01 million square feet in deliveries year-to-date. Rental rates, on average, have remained unchanged at $5.89 per square foot for the total Industrial market from the end of the first quarter of 2014 to the end of the second quarter of 2014. Asking rents for Warehouse properties averaged $5.51 per square foot over the course of the second quarter. Asking rents for Flex properties averaged $9.12 over the same period. The total Industrial inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2014 stood at 531,113,460 square feet in 17,482 buildings. Contributing to these figures are 482,632,984 square feet of Warehouse space housed in 15,570 buildings, and 48,480,476 square feet of Flex space in 1,912 buildings. Currently under construction in the Houston area are 4,818,651 square feet of Industrial space in 74 buildings. Houston’s market has consistently absorbed 1 to 2 million square feet per quarter. 819,718 square feet, or 17.0%, of the current under construction inventory is preleased.

“
The Market
With a slight loss of momentum, 2014 is still showing signs of growth across the U.S. in the second quarter. National unemployment continues to move in a positive direction, as Texas, and New York continue to show record breaking numbers. Now that first quarter’s weather crisis is just a memory and conditions have improved, hiring has taken off again. With an estimated 288,000 jobs added nationally in March across both small and large businesses, overall unemployment rate is down to 6.1%. We continue to see Texas topping the charts across the board. Texas and New York are still the only states that have restored all the jobs lost in the economic downturn, while the rest of the nation is on it’s way to a full recovery. Houston’s economic development has played a significant role in keeping Texas at the top of the economic charts. The Houston Business Cycle Index pins the city’s rate of economic growth at a robust 5.4% as recently as May, a step up from an already strong 5.2% showing one year ago. The Texas unemployment rate is down from last quarter and stands at 5.1%, two points less than the national average and the lowest it has been since November of 2008. Houston’s own unemployment rate equaled the state average, at about 5.6%. A slight increase in recent unemployment numbers has been seen as result of an increase in the size of the labor force, not an increase in job losses. Between April and May, the city’s payroll employment grew at an annualized rate of 5.4%. The biggest percentage gains were in the educational and health services, financial activities and other services industries. These considerations, along with strong job gains in oil and gas, good performance in refining and plastics, and overall positive labor market conditions, imply a healthy economic foundation on which Houston can be expected to grow for some time.
Demand for Industrial Space remains strong in the Houston market even though approximately 2,000,000 SF of new

Economic Outlook
construction was delivered
to the market in the second quarter. A large amount of new construction will
continue to occur through
the rest of 2014 as vacancy rates and rental rates are still attractive to
