Research & Forecast Report HOUSTON | OFFICE Q3 2019
Houston’s office market continues to see expansion in the co-working niche
Lisa Bridges Director of Market Research | Houston
Commentary by Taylor Wright Market Indicators Annual Quarterly Quarterly “Co-working” and, more specifically, WeWork continue to dominate Relative to prior period Change Change Forecast* the CRE news cycle. With billion-dollar annual losses, the recent withdrawal of their initial stock offering, the removal of the founder VACANCY as CEO and seemingly a different executive vacating every day, NET ABSORPTION both your average newsreader and our commercial real estate colleagues are questioning the viability of WeWork specifically and NEW INVENTORY co-working in general. After meeting with different well-known UNDER CONSTRUCTION flex space operators and talking to landlord’s who lease space to various co-working companies (not necessarily WeWork), our *Projected view is a little more positive. The concept of co-working is nothing new, but the way people and companies today are viewing their workspace occupancy has definitely changed.
The total co-working footprint is miniscule in Houston’s overall office occupancy (an estimated 1.3 million square feet out of 230.7 million total square feet). We believe co-working has a place in occupancy solutions, albeit a relatively small one. Summary Statistics Houston Office Market Q3 2018 Q2 2019 Q3 2019
When discussing flex space operators with landlords, we hear Vacancy Rate 19.8% 19.9% 20.2% that they serve as a valuable building amenity. For example, in the instances where tenants face a time crunch between vacating Net Absorption 845,983 -919,041 -135,127 their previous space and when a new space will be ready, co- working space can serve as an effective stop-gap solution. When a New Inventory 52,562 1,143,267 264,433 company has to staff up quickly for a short-term project, but does not want to commit to long term space, co-working can meet those Under Construction 3,485,669 2,397,805 2,619,230 requirements. Co-working space is also an effective solution for employees who cannot justify a commute to the corporate office Class A Vacancy Rate 5 days a week. These are just three examples of how co-working CBD 22.1% 19.6% 19.4% space may be utilized. The concern and focus on WeWork may be Suburban 19.3% 21.4% 20.9% more of financial viability versus the core underlying offering. In a Asking Rents booming economy, this niche should be enjoying financial success. Per Square Foot Per Year The concern has historically been what happens to these operators in a downturn where “flex” space is the first to go. Every co- Houston Class A $35.74 $35.36 $35.07 working operator has filed bankruptcy at some point in their history. CBD Class A $46.04 $46.01 $45.64 WeWork made a huge splash entering the world market; let’s hope Suburban Class A $31.50 $31.99 $31.83 that after the splash – they float.
With regards to the more traditional office market in Houston, we

(not seasonally adjusted) Q2 recorded a much healthier 229,836 square feet absorbed Downtown. UNEMPLOYMENT Suburban Office (everything outside of Downtown) posted negative absorption 8/18 8/19 for the second straight quarter with -153,671 square feet following Q2’s negative HOUSTON 4.4% 3.9% absorption of -1,148,877 square feet. The citywide vacancy has increased slightly to 20.2%, as opposed to 19.9% in Q2. Asking rental rates for all classes has TEXAS 4.0% 3.6% remained relatively unchanged. Landlords continue to offer attractive tenant U.S. 3.9% 3.8% improvement allowances and other concessions to maintain face rates.
The strategy that most of the Class A landlords have embraced is to upgrade Annual # of Jobs JOB GROWTH Change Added the older Class A product in order to slow the “flight to quality” that has tenants embracing new construction and moving to the newer assets. This massive HOUSTON 2.7% 81.9K capital investment should result in better occupancy, but we believe that there will TEXAS 2.3% 292.2K be very little upward pressure on lease rates in most submarkets. The Woodlands and Sugar Land are the outliers in terms of market occupancy with vacancy U.S. 1.4% 2.1M rates in the low teens. Tenants in those markets will see slightly less aggressive positions from the landlord community, but in all markets, the tenant has the near- term leverage.
