Houston CRE Outlook 2025: What’s Next for Our Market?

Houston’s commercial real estate market has always been defined by resilience, adaptability, and a steady flow of opportunity. As we step into 2025, ACRP members are watching trends that will shape leasing, development, and investment for years to come.

Industrial Keeps Growing

With continued demand from logistics, e-commerce, and energy services, industrial remains the hottest asset class.
Vacancy rates are tightening, pushing developers to explore new corridors outside the Beltway.

Office is Reinventing Itself

Hybrid work isn’t going away. Instead, landlords are re-thinking space: smaller footprints, more flexible leasing, and hospitality-style amenities.
Tenants want experience-driven offices, not just square footage.

Mixed-Use Momentum

Live-work-play continues to drive Houston’s submarkets
Developers who can blend retail, multifamily, and office into walkable nodes will have the advantage.

Capital Markets & Investment

Interest rates are stabilizing, but underwriting is stricter.
Local investors are finding opportunity where institutional capital is pulling back.

At ACRP, our members don’t just follow the trends—they create them. Join us at our next luncheon or happy hour to hear how local professionals are putting these ideas into action.
