In the second quarter, 2.5 million SF of space delivered to the market at 54% preleased. Net absorption for Class A space totaled 813,000 SF, while Class B recorded negative 19,000 SF of absorption. Class A direct vacancy rose to 12.4% and overall was 14.6%, and Class B vacancy grew marginally to 14.2% for direct and 15.2% for overall. Rents for both classes of space increased with Class A reaching $35.13 per SF gross, and Class B rents were $21.53 per SF gross. Rental rates are anticipated to remain flat or fall slightly in the period ahead and concession packages offered by landlords are becoming more prevalent in order to backfill large blocks of vacant space. Over 1.5 million SF of sublease space was put on the market during the second quarter, bringing the total to 10.6 million SF. Sublease levels are likely to reach 11.0 million SF by the end of 2016. Market fundamentals in the office sector will continue to see softness for the next 18-36 months, as the economy remains uncertain.

Overall leasing activity in the CBD has slowed significantly with only one lease signed over 50,000 SF. Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. renewed their 88,874 SF lease in Heritage Plaza. Sublease space continues to affect vacancy and now there is nearly 2.0 million SF of sublease space on the market. The is the third consecutive quarter of increasing vacancy for Class A space with direct vacancy reaching 8.7% and 11.0% for overall. Class B vacancy jumped to 17.2% for direct and 18.6% for overall. Rental rates continue to decrease as demand for space remains weak. Class A rents were down 1.8% from year-end to $43.08 per SF gross and Class B rents dropped 1.2% over the same period to $28.33 per SF gross. Continental Airlines, Plains Exploration and BG Group put large blocks of space on the market in the second quarter, leaving 13 large blocks over 125,000 SF available for lease.

SNAPSHOT

With the majority of tenants tied to the energy sector, the Energy Corridor experienced another slow quarter. Class A direct vacancy increased to 12.3%, and overall was 16.8%, while Class B vacancy rose to 15.0% for direct and 17.0% for overall at second quarter. Class A vacancy saw a large jump due to BP and Conoco putting over 1.0 million SF of sublease space on the market. Conoco’s space has a term through May 2028 and BP’s space has a term through June 2023. Rental rates for Class A space fell to $36.54 per SF gross and Class B dropped to $22.60 per SF gross from year-end 2015. There were three smaller leases signed in the second quarter as large transaction activity has weakened. The only delivery was Energy Center Five, a 525,000 SF speculative building. The construction pipeline in the Energy Corridor is shrinking with only two projects under construction totaling 655,000 SF. The Energy Corridor will remain weak as the energy downturn continues to have an affect on overall market fundamentals.

In the second quarter, the West Loop experienced rising vacancy and negative absorption as demand for space remains weak. Class A vacancy was 12.2% for direct and 13.2% for overall, and Class B vacancy was 10.4% for direct and 11.0% for overall.

The only delivery in the second quarter was 1885 Saint James Place, a 165,000 SF development, at 0% preleased. Sublease space continues to affect the market as the Galleria exceeded 1.0 million SF at mid-year, and is expected to increase through 2016. Leasing activity was highlighted by the 54,021 SF renewal and expansion of RSM Global in Four Oaks Place. However, overall leasing activity has been limited as tenants delay long-term leasing decisions. Currently, the West Loop submarket has three projects under construction that are 97% preleased.

Contrastingly, Class A vacancy decreased to 16.4% for direct and 17.4% for overall. The 35,000 SF new lease inked by Patterson-UTI Energy helped boost Class A absorption to 35,000 SF. Class B remained quiet with 0 SF of absorption. Class A rents increased to $32.29 per SF gross, while Class B asking rents dropped to $23.66 per SF gross.

A large majority of the Class A space available is from newly developed projects that have yet to sign any tenants. Following a huge development cycle in 2014 and 2015, there are currently no projects under construction in the West Belt submarket.

In the second quarter, the Katy submarket had one building deliver, leaving the construction pipeline empty. Class A vacancy increased to 32.5% for both direct and overall vacancy in the second quarter. Class B vacancy remains extremely tight at 1.7% and 1.8% for direct and overall, respectively. Net absorption for Class A space was 23,000 SF and Class B absorption was negative 4,000 SF. Class A rental rates increased marginally to $32.67 per SF gross, from $32.65 per SF gross in the first quarter. Conversely, Class B decreased to $24.15 per SF gross, compared to $24.28 per SF gross over the same period. Grandway West II, a 124,295 SF development, delivered at 17% preleased in the second quarter. There are several proposed developments in Katy, but these are unlikely to break ground without a large preleased tenant. All the large blocks of space available come from recently delivered projects. Katy is poised for a quick recovery when the oil begins to rebound due to the small amount of sublease space on the market.
