​​​​​HOUSTON – Sublease space continues to inundate the Houston office market—as leasing demand has been unable to keep pace with supply, Houston’s office availability hit 26.6 percent at mid-year.

Here’s what you need to know about the Houston office sublease market right now:

  • Sublease space in top submarkets is more than double the average inventory: Approximately 587,000 sf of sublease space is coming online each month.
  • More than 5 million sf of sublease inventory is here for the long term: Only 2 percent of current sublease space will revert back to direct basis by year-end and Houston’s sublease market may grow to 13 million sf by 2017. Looking forward, additional deliveries combined with space contractions may push vacancy over 20 percent market-wide.
