The market's flexible-space inventory grew from 1.8 million sf at the end of 2017 to 3.4 million sf at the end of 2Q2019. The flexible space market now accounts for 1.5 percent of DFW's total office inventory, up from 1.2 percent a year ago. Still, that ratio comes in below the U.S. average of 1.8 percent, indicating there is room for the sector to grow. Flexible space in the Far North submarket accounts for 31.3 percent of the market's flexible space inventory, but since the beginning of 2019, 28 new locations have opened or are scheduled to open in eight different submarkets across DFW.

The Texas capital's "deep talent pool, unique lifestyle, and ambitious commitment to business and real estate expansion" pushed the city up from sixth place a year ago.
According to ULI, transaction activity in Austin is above what is expected from a market of its size, and 2019’s early results are above the three-year historical average. Survey respondents rate Austin a "solid buy" for industrial, offices, and apartments for the coming year.
Austin's challenges include traffic and housing affordability pressures.
Austin ranked sixth overall in homebuilding prospects.
Dallas-Fort Worth also landed in the top ten, ranking sixth in overall real estate prospects and ninth in homebuilding prospects. The Metroplex's development growth to the outer perimeter keeps land costs down
but challenges efforts to develop the
downtown areas as
24-hour or even 18-hour urban centers. Texas' property tax may face
upward pressure to sustain infrastructure
growth. Houston ranked third in homebuilding prospects. It was 42nd in overall real estate prospects.
