library_books Houston's east side industrial market near 2% vacancyArticle Synopsis
Houston’s shift in industrial warehouse demand from the West side of town to the East market is undeniable. While historically light on fractional vacancy, East Houston and the inner Port of Houston market is now incredibly tight on available a space. Even more concerning, this submarket has an even stronger outlook with increased break-bulk traffic foreseen for the port and continued rise in manufacturing and refining. What is available now? See a map below (from Costar.com) of available space for lease between 10,000 and 50,000 SF . I culled the list a bit of functionally obsolescent buildings. Quality space on the East side = almost Zero.
As a tenant/buyer rep broker, I can tell you first hand that locating viable lease/purchase alternatives for clients, near the Port of Houston, has never been more challenging.

library_books 4 Reasons why there is very little warehouse space for lease or sale in East HoustonArticle Synopsis
Why is there little to no available manufacturing and/or storage warehousing available for purchase or lease near the Port of Houston? Strong local economy? Maybe. Top Port in the Nation in many stats? Partially. Booming energy sector? Possibly, but fading.
The real reason the industrial lease and sale market is so tight in East Houston near the port of Houston is due to an almost complete lack of development over the past 30 years in the Loop 610 East/Hwy 225/I-10 East/Port of Houston corridor out to Beltway 8. Yes there have been a few distribution projects which were developed on a speculative basis, however those have been full for some time. As for freestanding crane served warehouses from Loop 610 out to Beltway 8…there are less than 4-5 properties available on any given day. Is this a pure shortsightedness of developers? Probably somewhat. However, land is scarce and what is available is overpriced for industrial use. The Panama Canal will be opening soon and with an expected 20% increase in traffic in the short term, where will this business go? Probably to another port with adequate available storage and manufacturing warehousing.

library_books Houston area Industrial real estate - 2013 year end summaryArticle Synopsis
Warehouse brokerage in Houston, Texas…wow, what a year. 2013 may end up being a record year for many Houston commercial brokers, given the tremendous influx of businesses relocating and/or expanding into the area. However, the high demand results in “slim pickings” for business owners looking to acquire a warehouse for lease or sale. With an approximate vacancy rate of around 4.9% in 2013, the industrial real estate sector has little inventory for potential owners and lessees.
Moving into 2014, warehouse lease and purchase prospects will see continued rental and sales price increases on available warehouse space and premium rates and prices for the record number of freestanding warehouses under construction and proposed for the new year. The new construction is also driving up land prices and reducing availability of land parcels which lend themselves to industrial development.
As an Industrial real estate broker with 22 years in the Houston area, I am blessed to be doing business in Houston and really appreciate both the rewards and the challenges this market brings.

library_books What does it cost to build out commercial office space?Call Kenny Roch at KMR Construction and findArticle Synopsis
As a seasoned commercial real estate broker and developer at Centermark Commercial Real Estate, I have handled 100’s of commercial lease and sale transactions and then been involved in the buildout processes. Assuming all the sanitary sewer, water and electrical connections are reasonably located, plain office buildout runs about $38 to $45 PSF. This is turn-key with standard private offices, RACO doors (9’) and 28 oz. carpet. Medical finish with smaller rooms and multiple sinks runs about $65 PSF on the low end depending on finishes in the lobby/receptions areas (not including medical equipment). These estimates include full HVAC and minimum millwork in the break areas and restrooms. These estimates of cost PSF are more accurate on spaces over 3,000 SF. Smaller spaces tend to be higher PSF as you have a smaller SF by which to divide the cost of the restrooms, electrical, etc. If you need office space built out in a new building, are adding space to existing offices, or just want to upgrade your commercial property, contact our preferred contractor in Houston and does great work:

library_books Houston Commercial Real Estate's Rising Property Taxes: Is Harris County Appraisal District PuttingArticle Synopsis
The overall tone in the Houston commercial real estate market is an optimistic one. Experts are speculating a continued turn-around for this year and beyond. One would assume this is good news for Houstonians - not necessarily. It seems property owners are not the only ones paying attention to real estates “sunny forecast.”
In a preemptive attempt to balance the market values with the appropriate taxes, the Appraisal Districts have begun to increase commercial real estate property taxes. According to Harris County Chief Appraiser, Jim Robinson, “the values of commercial and industrial real properties and apartment properties are all beginning to show strong signs of economic recovery. These three categories of property are expected to increase between 6-11%.”
Out of 600 commercial real estate properties included in a recent study, it was found there are significant appraisal value increase, across the board:
- Retail - The average increase was 18.4%, with the highest increases in A&B-class properties. The largest increase found was as much as 84% year-over-year
- Multifamily - Average increase - 17.8%. The hardest hit were the B & C-class properties, with as much as a 129% and 184% value increases over last year
- Office - office properties are experiencing increases of 23.5% on average, with highest value increases occurring in B-class properties and some reaching as much 85% and 98.9% higher than the 2011 tax value
In every realm, decision making without a thorough understanding of all factors is never a good thing. Unfortunately for Houston property owners, that seems to be precisely what the Harris County Appraisal District is doing.
So what can you do? Fight your taxes! A professional tax consultant can help you help the Appraisal District to see that through their efforts to “balance” the market, they are actually tipping the tax scale.

library_books ATCO Business Park - New Construction - Office/Warehouses13701 FM 529 - For Sale or LeaseArticle Synopsis
Freestanding Flex-Service Office/Warehouse Buildings - 6,000 SF to 12,000 SF Shell Complete
Call for Reduced Pricing Information
Centermark Commercial Real Estate has been retained to market the newly developed ATCO Business Park in Northwest Houston. We have two buildings shell complete, 6,000 SF and 12,000 SF.
The project will ultimately consist of fifteen (15) freestanding buildings for sale or lease in Northwest Houston. While geared towards light industrial and service uses, the buildings can accommodate 100% office finishes as well.
ATCO Business Park has been designed to offer a more contemporary feel and look to its product. These are not ordinary metal buildings. The developer’s goal was to provide attractive structures without compromising function. Each office/warehouse provides dedicated storage yard area, ample area for dock wells and 480 volt, 3 phase electrical service. These clear span buildings are fully insulated. Crane capable warehouses will also be offered over 10,000 SF.Located in Northwest Houston on FM 529 and outside the city limits, this industrial park is in the high demand NW quadrant. Because we are outside the city, the tax rates are low at $2.34 per $100 of value. ATCO BP is a great compliment to the nearby Northwoods Industrial Park which caters to larger crane served tenants. Quality freestanding buildings for sale or lease under 20,000 SF are rare in Houston and ATCO BP is eager to meet the demand.

library_books Commercial Warehouse for Lease - Property CategoriesArticle Synopsis
“Commercial warehouse” as a label is broadly used to describe a number of types of commercial space typically offered for lease or rent. For purposes of this article, we will use Five (5) main categories.
General Office/Warehouse
Typically grade level, this type of building is suited to businesses that provide a product and need to receive materials/items and ship out materials/items which may be at grade level or at dock high. The dock-high loading requirement with smaller freestanding buildings is usually facilitated thru use of in ground dock truck wells where the truck backs down a ramp to adjust for the height of the shipping container.
Bulk Distribution
Used for the distribution of palletized products in large volume, these buildings have true 4’ dock high loading with multiple doors, high clear height and fire protection systems.
Heavy Manufacturing
With grade level overhead doors and ample outside storage yard, these buildings often have large overhead cranes, heavy power and high clear heights.
Flex office/warehouse (aka Service Center Space)
Heavy office ratio and air-conditioned and heated areas used for tech or assembly are common with Flex space. High parking ratios and generally higher end business park settings are also popular with this type.
Truck Terminal w/Cross Dock
Used to transfer goods quickly from container to container, these buildings are usually very shallow and long to allow for a very high number of offloading spaces and overhead doors. Additionally, an abundance of trailer storage area and staging yard is normally required.
These are some of the main categories of buildings in Commercial Warehouses which are found for Lease.

library_books Free Rent! Warehouse for Lease! Really? - Let Me Explain...Article Synopsis
“So we need to lease a warehouse - how much free rent can you get us?” That is a common question I get from my clients. It generally does not matter if they are local or global, $100k/year or $100mm/year, everyone wants to feel they got the upper-hand or a good “deal.” But what does “free rent” really mean?
Free rent is, in most circumstances, a period of time where the tenant pays no rent or partial rent during the lease. This period is usually front loaded on the lease term. This is a great marketing ploy for landlords and is generally a win for the tenant too. It is pushed as a savings in rent to offset move-in and set-up costs incurred by the tenant. Free rent is also called “Rental Abatement” - which is, as a description, generally more palatable to Landlords. Owners hate to give away money. At the end of the day, owners want to lease their properties up and if they can lease it now, give a few months of free rent and eliminate the risk of additional months of vacancy, then it ends up being a wash for the owner.
Let me explain the tricks around Free Rent. Typically, free rent is never free. Rental abatement is recouped later in the lease. While time value of money may be gained, the Landlord will generally pad his proposal to account for any opportunity costs. As an example, if you as the tenant want to rent 10,000 SF for 60 months and the Landlord gives you 3 months free rent, he will typically add the months to the term of the lease - so 63 months. Now the Landlord will want rental increases in later years and will start those “bumps” in month 13 of the lease. Now the added three months will be at the highest rate in the term, thereby increasing the average rate over the lease.Free rent up front is a plus for the tenant, provided the tenant does not have to pay more in rate over the term in order to get the free rent.
