Houston’s industrial historical and projected construction

Bar chart of Houston’s industrial historical and projected construction pipeline from 2016 to 2024
  • Houston’s industrial construction pipeline remains robust, with 29.7 msf underway and 24.8 msf projected to be delivered by year-end.
  • Nearly half of the new construction (49.2%) are buildings larger than 500k sf, developed in anticipation of continued demand from e-commerce. However, leasing demand for large occupiers above 500k sf has declined in recent quarters, causing absorption to normalize and return to pre-pandemic levels.
  • Only 26.1% of current developments underway are pre-leased, and recent deliveries are 42.1% leased. Vacancy will continue to climb as new product is delivered but is expected to stabilize in 2024.
