This is a report of industrial sector figures for the first quarter of 2026 in Houston, published by CBRE on March 31, 2026. The report covers industrial real estate data and metrics for the Houston market and includes national comparisons.
Houston's industrial market in Q1 2026 remained stable with net absorption of 3.7 million square feet, quarterly leasing velocity of 9.3 million square feet, and a vacancy rate that increased to 7.5% due to 4.7 million square feet in new deliveries, while average asking rents decreased 2.2% quarterly to $0.87 per square foot (NNN) but rose 10.1% annually. The construction pipeline expanded to 27.9 million square feet with only 25% pre-leased, and investment sales totaled 11.0 million square feet across 372 properties for $87.5 million at an average capitalization rate of 7.0%.
Houston's industrial market in Q1 2026 recorded a 5.9% vacancy rate with 4.9 million square feet of net absorption and average asking rents of $7.67 per square foot, reflecting strong tenant demand and balanced supply-demand conditions despite 24.3 million square feet under construction. The market's employment grew 0.6% year-over-year to 3.5 million jobs, with leasing volume reaching 7.8 million square feet and speculative projects comprising 82.2% of the development pipeline, indicating developer confidence in sustained industrial fundamentals.
Cushman & Wakefield's Houston Office Q1 2026 report analyzes the Houston metropolitan office market, which recorded 2.4 million square feet of leasing activity, 24.9% vacancy, and $31.77 per square foot average asking rent, with Class A space dominating demand while the market experienced negative net absorption of 817,000 square feet for the third consecutive quarter. Houston's employment reached 3.5 million with 0.6% year-over-year growth, outpacing the 0.2% national rate, though the construction pipeline remains constrained to two projects totaling 253,000 square feet, with limited new supply expected to help contain downward pricing pressure on lower-tier assets while well-leased Class A buildings benefit from tenant flight-to-quality demand.
The Houston retail market in Q1 2026 maintained a vacancy rate of 5.5% with net absorption of 660,125 square feet and 497,340 square feet of new construction deliveries, while the construction pipeline increased 26.6% to 4.2 million square feet.

Houston's office market in Q1 2026 recorded negative net absorption of 158,417 square feet, a vacancy rate increase to 26.5%, and construction deliveries of 464,450 square feet, though leasing activity rose 29.8% to 2.7 million square feet with average rental rates increasing 0.7% quarterly to $30.84 per square foot. Class A properties drove positive absorption of 95,067 square feet while Class B properties declined, and the under-construction pipeline decreased 39.6% to 622,040 square feet, with investment sales volume totaling $788 million over the prior 12 months across 166 properties.
