Houston Flooding and the Potential Impact on Commercial Real Estate Houston Flooding and the Potential Impact on Commercial Real Estate • Houston ranks as the 6th largest MSA in the country by total SF of commercial real estate space, with more than 1.6 billion SF (or 232 SF/capita). Only Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas- Fort Worth, and Atlanta have more rentable building area (RBA). • About 27% of Houston’s GLA may be under water today, representing an estimated $55 billion in property value. There are more than 12,000 properties containing 433 million SF located in the floodplain. This includes 167,281 apartment units, 60 million SF of office, and 73 million SF of retail space. In addition, 11 hospital buildings, including a 1.1 million SF building at the Texas Medical Center fall within the 100-year floodplain. Figure 1: Buildings in the FEMA Designated Floodplain • Only 9 million SF of space, including 4,000 apartments are within a designated floodway, and probably inundated with floodwaters today. However, 175 million SF is located in the 100-year floodplain, including 72,000 apartment units and 20 million SF of office space, and are likely seeing some incursion of water today. Another 225 million SF sits in the 500-year floodplain and is also at some risk of flooding.

This highly dense section of Houston is home to more than 66,000 apartment units, of which, nearly 30% are estimated to be impacted. The inventory is mostly workforce housing and 1980s vintage garden style (2-3 story) construction. Within Southwest Houston, the Braeburn, Greater Fondren and Sharpstown neighborhoods have the highest number of units that are in the 100-year floodplain. Each of these neighborhoods borders Brays Bayou, one of the river ways that snakes through southwest Houston and has overflowed as a result of the torrential rain levels.

Most of the apartment buildings (totaling 1,170 units) underway within the 100-year floodplain are concentrated near the Medical Center. • The most impacted office submarket is Greenspoint, which has elevated vacancies after the departure of ExxonMobil in late 2015. Here, some 3.5 million SF falls within the 100-Year floodplain.

The army corps of engineers has been releasing water to prevent the earthen dams supporting these reservoirs from failing, sending increased water flows through the Buffalo Bayou. The Bayou runs west to east and crosses through Woodlake, River Oaks, the Energy Corridor, Memorial Park, Briarforest, and Uptown Park. There are some 117 buildings that are within a quarter of a mile from the bayou, totaling 17 million SF. More than 2.5 million SF is at high risk, located within the 100-year floodplain and is made up of mostly office properties in the Energy corridor and Post Oak neighborhoods.

Abstract Over the years, the Palm Center (PC) in Houston, Texas, has been the beneficiary of several economic development endeavors designed to ignite economic and community growth and revitalization. While these endeavors brought forth initial success, they have failed to transform the PC into a lasting model of economic growth and prosperity and to inspire community pride and engagement. The development of METRO’s Southeast Line light rail station at the Palm Center Transit Center presents the prime opportunity for meeting the needs of the community by implementing design concepts and principles that provide social, environmental, and economic benefits to those living within close proximity of the transit station.

  • 2015 Newsletter 08.28.15.Pdf
    Issue 7 August 2015 NEWSLETTER Dear Friends, Thank you to everyone who came out to our Post- Session Legislative Town Hall last month. Nearly 50 people attended and we had a great discussion about the issues and legislation that we worked on during the 84th Legislative Session. There were a lot of great questions and I hope to hear from more of you in the interim as we continue our work. Even though the next regular session of the Texas Legislature reconvenes in January 2017, my staff and I have not stopped working for you. This month, we helped our kids and families prepare for another school year at two community events in Rep. Wu volunteers at the Back to School event at PlazAmericas the District: the WalMart Back To School Health by distributing clothes and supplies to kids. Fair hosted at the Baker Ripley Neighborhood Center, and the Annual Back to School Drive, Health Fair and Business Expo hosted at PlazAmericas Mall. These events helped thousands by providing free supplies, resources, and support to families in need. We have also been following a number of important issues, including: reviewing jail standards, safety, and reform; ensuring birth certificates for U.S. citizen children; and the impact of Medicaid reimbursement rate cuts in acute care therapy services. Recent stories at the national, state, and local level have also prompted me to release public statements to advocate on behalf our communities. Please enjoy the seventh edition of our E-Newsletter.
