Q4 2014 marked the 15th consecutive quarter of positive absorption at 2.2 million square feet, topping the year off with a record absorption of 8.1 million square feet.<\/p>\n<p>CBRE designated Houston\u2019s excellent transportation infrastructure as one of the main factors leading to the city\u2019s excellent performance in the industrial sector.  Thanks to Houston\u2019s position along the Grand Parkway and the route of the proposed I-69 NAFTA Superhighway, and the city\u2019s easy access to other major thoroughfares, in 2014 developers focused extensively on creating large industrial parks. As such, over 1.7 million square feet of new industrial space were delivered in Q4 2014 and more than 8.4 million square feet are still underway.<\/p>\n<p>The large amount of industrial space delivered or still under development did not have a negative impact on Houston\u2019s vacancy rates. On the contrary, the average industrial vacancy rate dropped to 5.0 percent in the last quarter, while rental rates remained steady at a gross average of $0.67 per square foot throughout Q4.<\/p>\n<p><i>Chart courtesy of <\/i><a title=\"CBRE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbre.com\/EN\/Pages\/Home.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><i>CBRE<\/i><\/a><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston has it happening in terms of real estate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1158,"featured_media":1004112163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37301],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004112162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
