Houston Class A overall occupancy continues to decline, ending Q3 2015 at 80.8 percent (including sublease space), down from 88.1 percent this time last year. Average quoted rental rates declined Q3 2015 to $25.64 per square foot, down $0.63 from Q3 2014.

Currently, Colvill Office Properties is tracking a total of 5.8 million square feet of one-floor-or-more sublease space in Class A & B buildings in the city, an increase of 400,000 square feet from the previous quarter’s 5.4 million square feet. We continue to see increased M&A activity, as well as energy companies adding additional space to the sublease market.

In addition to companies downsizing as a result of layoffs, several of the large leases signed over the previous few years included space for anticipated growth that did not occur, thus contributing to the continued uptick in sublease inventory.

As the competition between office space options continues to increase, many landlords have reduced asking rental rates, as well as offering more concessions such as higher tenant improvement allowances and rental abatement.

Houston has witnessed a flight-to-quality over the past few years, thus driving Class A, Tier 1 absorption. Many of the new buildings that signed leases during that period are still delivering, causing net absorption to remain positive in Houston Class A buildings at this time.

Houston delivered 759,000 square feet of new office development space during Q3 2015, bringing the total to 4.2 million square feet year-to-date (60.3 percent leased) with an additional 2.7 million square feet (52.2 percent pre-leased) set to deliver by the end of 2015.

During the current quarter, we began tracking a new submarket located far west along I-10 and the Grand Parkway. Although the emerging area is comprised of smaller office, retail, and medical buildings, we believe it will be beneficial to follow course of the growing number of developments in the area.

Included on the following pages is an in-depth look into the Houston market performance during Q3 2015. As always, please let us know your feedback or if we can be of further service.

Market Snapshot

During the past ten years, the city typically gains an average of 50,000 jobs within the last four months out of each year, causing most employment forecasts to predict Houston should gain a total of 20,000 – 30,000 jobs in 2015.

COLVILL OFFICE PROPERTIES 3Q 2015 OFFICE MARKET REPORT 5

EMPLOYMENTAs of August 2015, Houston employment remains 22,200 jobs below its December 2014 peak. Although some employment sectors continue to grow, their growth is not enough to offset the losses elsewhere. During the past ten years, the city typically gains an average of 50,000 jobs within the last four months out of each year, causing most employment forecasts to predict Houston should gain a total of 20,000 – 30,000 jobs in 2015.

HOME PRICINGThe Houston residential real estate market witnessed above-average single-family home sales during the third quarter of this year. Q3 2015 single-family homes sales totaled 22,294, compared to 21,244 sold during Q2 2015 and 14,785 sold during Q1 2015. The average price of a single-family home dipped from its peak of $302,942 in June 2015 to $270,901 in September 2015. Months of inventory, the estimated time it would take to deplete the current active housing inventory based on the previous 12 months of sales, increased to a 3.5-month supply versus a 2.5-month supply at the end of December 2014, but remains well below the current national supply of 5.2 months of inventory.

OIL & GASJust when oil prices looked like they had stabilized during Q2 2015, the West Texas Intermediate crude price dropped to $45.48 per barrel at the end of September, significantly lower than the $59.82 reported at the end of June 2015. Natural gas prices ended September 2015 at $2.66 price per MMBtu, compared to $3.92 price per MMBtu one year ago. RigData reports that 33,779 U.S. wells (onshore and offshore) have been permitted so far this year, down 34.2 percent from the 51,337 permits issued during the first three quarters of 2014. The firm also reports 16,987 wells were started the first three quarters of this year, down 45.2 percent from 31,034 started in the same period last year.

SUPPLY VERSUS DEMANDThe Houston Class A office market delivered 860,000 square feet of new office buildings to the market during Q3 2015. Of the 860,000 square feet, 759,000 square feet is considered “for-lease” buildings. The remaining total is comprised of other office buildings, such as owner-occupied buildings, data centers, and non-competitive office buildings. Class A net absorption posted a positive 2.7 million square feet year-to-date, which includes a positive 528,000 square feet absorbed during Q3 2015. Currently, 7.5 million square feet of “for-lease” office buildings are under construction in the city. Of that total, 2.7 million square feet is scheduled to deliver during Q4 2015.

COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT SALES ACTIVITYSales volume in Houston totaled $469.5 million during Q3 2015, lower than average for the second consecutive quarter. Average price per square foot dropped to $146 per square foot during Q3 2015; the lowest average the city has seen since Q1 2010 when $105 per square foot was posted. High quality, well-leased assets for sale in Houston are scarce, causing investors to look for opportunities focused more on well-located but under-leased assets which present significant upside.
