Commentary by Patrick DuffyMCR Market Indicators Annual Quarterly Quarterly Colliers generally uses this space to discuss the trends we see Relative to prior period Change Change Forecast* in market data and in conversations we have with our clients, prospects and friendly competitors. We take that data and attempt VACANCY to project activity going forward. The bulk of the first quarter was, NET ABSORPTION for all practical purposes, pre-COVID. Net “move-in” data, as well as new leases signed, were likely unimpacted for Q1 based on the DELIVERIES virus or only marginally impacted. Our industry has a lead time of UNDER CONSTRUCTION at least 4-6 months before a lease is signed or space made ready for occupancy. The real impact of this COVID crisis will not present *Projected in the data until later in Q2. Inertia will carry us for a few more weeks.

The world is focused on the COVID driven economic slowdown. Houston has two issues to watch – COVID and a collapse in oil prices. The oil issue is driven by Saudi Arabia and Russia failing to reach an agreement on production and by the severe decline of oil and gas demand driven by the COVID shutdown. Oil has been Summary Statistics Houston Office Market Q1 2019 Q4 2019 Q1 2020 in the low 20’s since the collision of these two events. The Energy Information Administration is projecting that supply will continue to Vacancy Rate 19.4% 19.8% 20.0% outpace demand for the balance of this year by approximately 10MM barrels per day. If that projection holds, all land-based storage (3.3B Net Absorption 417,937 837,872 -177,916 barrels) will be full by mid-May. We will likely not see much relief in oil prices for at least 18-24 months, which means the upstream and Deliveries 73,773 0 251,672 midstream companies and the companies that support them will be under a great deal of pressure to trim costs.

Houston has diversified its economy and is far less reliant on just Class A Vacancy Rate oil and gas to drive its economy.

The ultimate impact on the office market will likely be a factor of a lack of new space acquisition vs. a significant increase in sublease space, UNEMPLOYMENT 2/19 2/20 which we saw after the 2014 price crash. We hope that overall occupancy will not substantially decline on a net basis by year-end. We are currently projecting HOUSTON 4.2% 3.9% less than a 2-5% decline in occupancy by year-end from Q1 2020 levels based on 3.7% 3.6% these assumptions. This marginal move would increase the overall vacancy rate by about 250 – 400 bps. U.S. 4.1% 3.8%

Another issue to watch is the tenants unable to make rent payments or to make reduced rent payments if possible and the impact on the owners of office Annual # of Jobs JOB GROWTH Change Added buildings. There is a potential domino scenario where rent payments are delayed or lost altogether. Owners are then unable to cover their debt, and a loss of HOUSTON 2.2% 68.9K liquidity is created that could easily translate into owners being unable to fund TEXAS 2.4% 306.5K tenant improvements and commissions for new leases. It is a little too early to tell how significant an impact this scenario will have. U.S. 1.6% 2.4M

If the US economy, followed by the global economy, recovers relatively quickly, Houston will get back to work. The energy sector will lag this recovery and will not help the Houston real estate market much in the next two years.

2 Houston Research & Forecast Report | Q1 2020 | Office | Colliers International Absorption & Demand

Houston’s office market posted negative net absorption of 177,916 SF in the first quarter, a huge decrease from the 837,872 SF of positive net absorption posted in the fourth quarter of 2019. Suburban Class A space recorded the largest gain, posting 463,878 SF of positive net absorption, while suburban Class B space reported the largest loss, posting 330,799 SF of negative net absorption. Since tenants typically do not move into lease space immediately after signing a lease, absorption lags and can occur at anytime after. We believe absorption numbers will trail even longer than usual in the short-term due to the “stay-at-home” orders amid COVID-19, so absorption will more than likely remain negative moving into Q2 2020.

Rental Rates

Houston’s average asking rental rate decreased over the quarter from $29.78 per SF to $29.62 per SF, primarily due to the average CBD asking rate dropping from $40.52 per SF to $39.57 per SF. Houston’s average suburban rental rate remained relatively flat, dropping only $0.04 to $27.00 per SF. Overall, rental rates only decreased by 0.5% on a quarterly basis and by 0.3% on an annual basis. CBD Class A rates posted the largest quarterly percentage decrease of 4.2%.

Leasing Activity

Houston’s office leasing activity increased slightly over the quarter from 3.4M SF to 3.6M SF, and decreased 31% on an annual basis. Leasing activity includes new/direct, sublet, renewals, expansions in existing buildings and pre-leasing in proposed buildings. Some of the more notable transactions are listed in the table below.
