Over the past year, office employees have adapted to working from home, hospitality groups have rolled out new services options and staycations, residential properties have adopted technology to conduct virtual space tours and the construction sector has continued grow. More than $1.9 billion in construction projects are currently underway in Downtown Houston, an area defined by IH-45 to the west and south, Highway 59 to the east and IH-10 to the north. “In recent years, Downtown Houston has transitioned from a central business district to a prime destination to live, work, play and stay,” said Bob Eury, president and CEO of the Houston Downtown Management District. “While the pandemic has resulted in some set- backs, we’re seeing confidence in the market: businesses and office employees have adapted to the new normal with agility, developers are leveraging the opportunity to maximize construction across all sectors and the area remains a culinary and cultural destination for Houstonians and visitors.” Office Projects Downtown Houston remains a dynamic business center with a workforce of approximately 158,000 employees and more than 51 million square feet of office space.

As a greater share of the population is vaccinated, the robustness and pace of the economic recovery will follow as we return to public spaces like offices and restaurants in greater numbers. There is also hope in broader macroeconomic trends. During the pandemic, Americans trimmed back spending on discretionary purchases with the personal savings rate peaking in April at 33.7% and now 12.9% in November, well above the rate of 7.5% in 2019. This means many households have reserves to boost their spending once they have confidence the pandemic is over. This coupled with a low interest rate environment and the recent passage of the $900 billion pandemic relief package, mean the economy is poised for a sharp and sustained rebound. Looking at Houston in particular, we still have a long road to a full recovery. Using seasonally adjusted data, Houston is down 184.1 thousand jobs from February through November.
