Vacancy & Availability Houston’s medical office market occupancy increased during the first half of 2013 with the citywide average vacancy rate decreasing by 160 basis points to 11.3% from 12.9%.

By property class, Class A vacancy rates posted the largest decrease during the first half of 2013, 530 basis points to 8.5% from 13.8% in 4Q 2012. Class C vacancy rates decreased 130 bps to 11.2% from 12.5%, while Class B vacancy rates increased 20 basis points to 12.8% from 12.6%.

Sublease space has not had a significant impact on current vacancy rates, remaining below 0.5% of total vacant space over five years. Of the 3.0M SF of vacant space on the market at mid-year 2013, only 50,700 SF was sublease space.

Disciplined medical office development activity has helped prevent major upheavals in current occupancy levels. There were only eight (8) new buildings (1.2M SF) added to the market during 2012 and just one (1) building (30,000 SF) delivered in the first half of 2013. The largest project completed within the past two years was the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Administration Building located at 7007 Bertner Avenue in the Texas Medical Center (895,600 SF owner occupied).

Currently, the medical office construction pipeline is empty.

Absorption & Demand Houston’s medical office market recorded 467,400 SF of positive net absorption in the first half of 2013.

By property class, Class A posted the largest amount of positive net absorption in the first half of 2013, with 393,176 SF, followed by Class C properties posting 65,237 SF of positive net absorption. Class C posted only 8,986 SF of positive net absorption in the same period. Most of the Class A absorption occurred in Q1 2013 when MD Anderson moved in it’s new building on Bertner Avenue in the South Main/Medical Center submarket.

Rental Rates Quoted full-service rental rates for all medical office property classes averaged $23.02 per SF at mid-year 2013, a decrease from $23.13 per SF recorded year-end 2012. Medical office building landlords continued to offer lease concessions including free rent to credit worthy tenants, but have decreased the amount of tenant improvement packages.

By property class, on a bi-annual basis, the average Class A rental rate of $28.40 per SF decreased from $29.35 per SF, Class B increased to $22.91 from $22.77 per SF, and the average Class C rate increased from $17.21 to $17.83 per SF.
