Houston, TX — Avison Young today released its industrial market report for the firm’s Houston office for the second quarter of 2020. The industrial sector continues to outperform other commercial real estate segments during disruptive economic conditions.
“Online shopping bodes well for Houston’s industrial market and there’s been a lot of clicking, ordering and delivering going on during the last few months,” commented Drew Coupe, a Vice President in the firm’s Houston office specializing in industrial tenant representation. “It’s no surprise that national discount retailers such as Dollar Tree and Ross continue to build and expand distribution facilities as the economy slowly gets back on track.”
Deliveries slowed during second quarter with all new 2020 deliveries collectively 38.3% leased. Availability is up slightly from last quarter’s 10.9% to 12.2% this quarter and Houston’s construction pipeline remains steady with 16.7 million square feet (msf) in 85 buildings.
