According to recent statistics by CBRE Group, Houston's vacancy rate for office space declined in the third quarter of this year, with .1 percent fewer vacant offices when compared to the second quarter of 2013. Brook Scott, CBRE Interim Head of Research, Americas, stated that the decline in office vacancy in major markets in the U.S. has been lead by slow, steady job growth and and a decrease in new office development, which has allowed leasing to cut into excess supply. 

In Houston, CBRE reported, 1.6 million square feet of new office space was delivered in the third quarter -- the highest amount in the nation -- but most of that space was pre-leased. Houston is also seeing millions of square feet of industrial space being developed, with the availability in that market holding steady at 8.4 percent. Add to this that Texas is leading the nation in job creation -- with an unemployment rate well below and an employment growth rate well above the national average -- and you have demand for both new and existing space.
