Sublease Space in Downtown Houston Will Likely See Major Absorption
Sublease space has been a drag on the Downtown Houston office sector for a long time, but there is hope for the market as it appears sublease space in downtown is in line for some major absorption. Three major sublease assignments (One Shell, BG Group Place, and Hess), which represent about 1.3M SF of sublease space, are expected to be absorbed by the end of the year. With Downtown responsible for 2.3M SF of that sublease space total, completing deals on those spaces could have an outsized effect, reducing Downtown’s sublease availability by over 56%. These deals are not closed, but when they are finalized Downtown’s sublease availability will be reduced by over 56%. Read the full story here.

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 are 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.
