Market fundamentals for the Houston market remain challenging due to a combination of new construction and tenant downsizing (as leases expire and through sublease space). This has pushed up the total vacancy rate (currently as 21.1%), which is one of the highest in the US. Despite the elevated vacancy and negative demand for space, average asking rates have not decreased in recent quarters.
