Co-working Space on the Rise in Houston
In Houston, co-working space is on the rise. Over the last decade, the amount of flexible, co-working space has grown at a compound annual rate of about 17 percent, while the office market only increased 1.7 percent. This means that a growing share of Houston's office space is being used as flexible space, as opposed to traditional offices. Co-working space is expected to rise faster than traditional space in the coming years as well—in 2019, several flexible office spaces in Houston either opened or announced development plans.
Dallas Attracts More Millennial Workers than Any Other City
A new analysis from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that in 2018 Dallas grew its millennial population more than any other city in the country. As a younger workforce moves in, Dallas is quickly becoming a top hub for tech workers. North Texas now has the fifth-largest labor pool for tech talent in North America, and is working to attract large companies like Uber, who is strongly considering Dallas-Fort Worth for its second headquarters.

Is it Better to Buy or Rent?
Should your company buy or rent space? We get this question quite often. On the commercial side of real estate, space is more expensive, so commitments are much longer, and liabilities that much greater. Because of this, you should never put something under contract without a complete review and understanding of the full dynamics of what a purchase means for your business.
