reportPowerful Performance. Extraordinary Results.

Houston Economic IndicatorsThe Houston Business-Cycle Index has expanded at an average annual rate of 3.3 percent so far in 2017 - close to its historical average. Revisions to data at the end of 2016, however, left the index reading considerably weaker than initially estimated.

After surging in 2015 and 2016, the number of layoffs filed with the Texas Workforce Commission under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act is normalizing. At an average level of 376 from March to May, monthly filings are close to their historical average for Houston. Current figures are still higher than those observed between 2009 and 2015 but are consistent with a market that is putting the oil bust behind it.

In past oil busts, it took about three months for the rig count and about a year for the mining-related job count to bottom out once oil prices began to recover. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil hit bottom in February 2016, followed by the rig count in May 2016. It looks like mining-related employment in Houston bottomed out in December 2016, though that data may be revised. Since December, mining-related jobs have grown by 7,300.

Recent changes in other leading indicators such as stock values, single-family permits, chemical production, home sales and job advertisements are—in aggregate—supportive of a modest pickup in employment growth in the months ahead.

HOUSTON’S PREMIER

WESTCHASE LOCATION

The Houston Class A office market closed Q2 2017 with 21.5 million square feet (20.5 percent) available for direct lease and 7.9 million square feet (7.5 percent) available for sublease, putting the effective vacancy rate at 28.0 percent, a number Houston has not experienced in more than two decades.

June marked the third anniversary of the collapse in oil prices and although the worst is hopefully behind us, oil price stability remains uncertain. At the close of 2016, oil prices were forecasted to rise to $60.00 per barrel by the end of 2017, but most have revised their forecast stating oil prices will continue to hover closer to $50.00 per barrel.

The good news is that job growth continues to improve and office absorption is tied to job growth. Houston has already surpassed the annual forecasted job growth and if momentum continues for the second half of the year, we should be on our way to witness recovery in office market conditions.

Certain submarkets in Houston are experiencing a significant uptick in leasing activity as tenants that sat on the sidelines in 2016 are now out in the market. Large tenants with leases expiring in 2019-2021 are seeing what opportunities the current market may generate based upon the advice of their brokers that now is the time to strike a good deal. Many of these tenants are leveraging their existing landlord to renew early and possibly allow them to “right-size”.

With “flight to quality” always being prevalent in the market (seemingly a trend experienced in either a good or bad market), existing buildings continue to embark upon significant capital improvement programs to enhance their assets to remain competitive with both new office developments that have delivered, as well as within their own competitive set - all in order to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants. If you have not already renovated your existing building, you’re most likely behind your competition. With this, we look for continued renovations of existing buildings even in tough current market conditions.

We look for the balance of 2017 to be an active market, but with the continued overhang of sublease space, it will remain a competitive tenant environment.

“...job growth continues to improve and office absorption is tied to job growth. ”

In the NewsThe Airbnb of Commercial Real Estate ArrivesSpacegrab is a new online commercial leasing platform that allows tenants to sublease a portion or all of their space, and it launched in Los Angeles this quarter. GlobeSt.com interviewed Founder David Hay on the new concept introduced into the commercial real estate marketplace.GlobeSt.com: Tell me about the concept behind Spacegrab?David Hay: Spacegrab is a secondary marketplace for commercial real estate leases. We are the only online site where leaseholders can exit a portion or all of their lease through a sublease or assignment. There is no other service that allows leaseholders to exit through these two options. We are really allowing for a user-friendly and easy-to-use listing service so that users can get a listing in two to three minutes. Those users can then get in touch with the listing tenant directly. We have partnered with BizEquity, which is a company that does evaluation services, and Sharplaunch, which is a marketing company that provides marketing packages for people looking to market their space. We are really the one-stop-shop if someone wants to come in and understand what their business is worth, what their lease is worth and get brokerage services, if needed. We are really looking to provide opportunities that no one else has.

GlobeSt.com: What was the impetus to launch this platform?Hay: I have a background in all facets of the commercial real estate industry, whether finance, brokerage, acquisition or development. Through my own experiences, I realized that the industry lags other industries in terms of efficiency and transparency, and most importantly, there is a need for everything to be cloud based and digital. In the last couple of years, there has been a massive push toward tech. In 2016, there was more than $2.6 billion in venture capital money spent on commercial real estate tech investing. My motivation was seeing that a lot of tenants were dissatisfied both on the landlord side and with their financing. They couldn’t accurately predict their sales and growth for three to five years, but were forced to commit to leases that were locking them in for longer periods of time. I have been able to acquire properties where the tenant was under-performing, and I was able to negotiate the early termination of the lease and bring in a tenant that would be more suitable for the property, thus creating value. Value-propositions that I put into place through my own experiences and by bridging the gap between business owners and leaseholds were really the main motivating forces.

GlobeSt.com: Is there a conflict with leaseholders transferring their lease to other users?Hay: We are offering a marketplace. Ultimately, the leaseholders will need to get approval from the landlord. If the lease rate is so low that the landlord would never agree to it, then maybe it is a situation where the landlord would want to buy out the tenant. If the lease term allows for a transfer by a sublease, the landlord can purchase it or someone else can. What we are doing is creating a transparent system where the leaseholder can value their lease, value their business, and potentially make the most use of their space. Right now, it is highly inefficient for someone to be locked in a lease without a lifeline. It does no good for the landlord. It is both inefficient and inelastic, and it makes no sense.

GlobeSt.com: Are landlords able to use the site as a marketing tool?Hay: This is meant for current leaseholders to either sublease a portion of the space or assign the lease over to someone else completely. The landlord has only one role to play in this, and that is agreeing to the transfer. The landlord is ultimately going to be getting a tenant that is better suited for their property. This platform is meant for leaseholders.

GlobeSt.com: Why are you launching in L.A., and where is the business headed?Hay: Los Angeles is a pretty good testing ground for this, because it has a diverse economy. We are going to be going to San Diego and San Francisco next, working our way through California. The plan is going to be to go nationwide in the near future.

COLVILL OFFICE PROPERTIES 2Q 2017 OFFICE MARKET REPORT 7

Houston’s EconomyEMPLOYMENTThe Houston metro area added 22,900 jobs during the first half of 2017, a significant increase over the 14,600 jobs added in the same time period last year and already ahead of the 18,700 jobs added during the entire year in 2016. So far this year, the following sectors contributed the largest gains: Leisure & Hospitality (+17,000 jobs), Professional & Business Services (+12,600 jobs) and Manufacturing (+10,500 jobs). Trade, Transportation & Utilities (-24,500 jobs) contributed the largest loss in jobs, and while this sector typically sheds jobs in both January and February of each year, growth during the remaining months in 2017 was less than usual. Houston’s May unemployment rate was 5.1 percent, down from 5.7 percent in January. Texas’ unemployment rate was 4.4 percent, down from 4.9 percent in January and the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 percent, down from 5.1 during the same period.

HOME PRICINGAccording to the latest monthly report produced by the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR), home prices and sales volume reached new heights the first half of the year, keeping 2017 on track to be a record year for Houston real estate. The greatest sales gains took place among homes priced from $750,000 and above (categorized as the luxury market), followed by homes in the $150,000 to $249,999 range. June was the eighth straight month that the luxury segment enjoyed rising sales. A total of 47,354 single-family homes sold in the first half of 2017, compared to the previous four years when 43-44,000 single-family homes sold in the first six months of each year. On a year-to-date basis, home sales remain ahead of 2016’s volume by 7.4 percent. New listings pushed inventory levels to a 4.4-month supply, the highest in almost 5 years. The single-family home median price (the figure at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less) climbed 2.6 percent to $239,000. The average price edged up 1.5 percent to $304,155. Both figures are all-time highs.

OIL & GASThe West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude price closed June 2017 priced at $45.18 per barrel, down from $48.76 a year earlier in June 2016. 2017 prices peaked in February at $53.47 and have slowly dropped since. In a June story headlined “Big Banks Wave Goodbye to Hopes for Year-End Oil Price Surge,” Bloomberg reported that Bank of America, Citi and Goldman Sachs no longer expect crude to reach $60 per barrel by year’s end. They now expect crude to hover around $50.00 throughout the remainder of 2017, according to the report. Henry Hub spot prices have been relatively flat in 2017, averaging $3.04 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) during the first half of the year, which is the same as the fourth quarter 2016 average price. Prices averaged $2.98/MMBtu in June. Closer-to-normal winter temperatures are expected this winter following last year’s warm winter, which contributes to growth in residential and commercial consumption. Also, export growth is forecast to increase in the second half of 2017 and in 2018. Both factors could contribute to modest upward price pressure.

SUPPLY VERSUS DEMANDThe Houston Class A office market did not experience any new deliveries during Q2 2017. According to CoStar, the Class A Houston office market posted 822,591 square feet of negative net absorption during Q2 2017. Coupled with 228,722 square feet of negative net absorption posted during Q1 2017, the year-to-date amount totals just over 1 million square feet of negative absorption so far in 2017. According to the Colvill Office Properties defined Houston Class A market, the direct available rate rose to 20.5 percent in Q2 2017. Factor in the nearly 8 million square feet of Class A sublease space available and the effective vacancy rate now stands at a historical 28.0 percent.

COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT SALES ACTIVITYHouston market sales volume totaled $979.1 million during Q2 2017. While 2017 total sales volume numbers are healthy, average sales price per square foot remains much lower than usual, closing the quarter at $174.00. Those numbers should rise throughout the remainder of 2017 as a few Class A trophy buildings have recently hit the market and expect to trade within 2017.

The second quarter of 2017 ended without any new Class A office buildings delivering

to the market. Three office projects totaling 600,000 square feet broke

ground Q2 2017, bringing the total amount currently under construction in the Houston Class A office market to just over 2.4 million square feet.

Of the 2.4 million square feet currently underway, 47.1

percent is pre-leased, leaving just under 1.3 million square feet

available for pre-lease.

727,000 square of the space currently under construction is scheduled to deliver throughout the remainder of 2017.

Most spec projects planned were placed on the shelf until market conditions improve. Other than a few small office buildings in the outlying Houston submarkets, the build-to-suits and Skanska’s new office tower downtown are driving what little construction is occurring. Some companies are still willing to pay higher rents in brand new office buildings that offer the latest workplace trends, while other companies are taking advantage of a soft market by locking in affordable rates.

SUBMARKET HIGHLIGHTS

CBD

Overall occupancy rates in the CBD declined 210 basis points during Q2 2017, ending the quarter at 77.1 percent occupied, down from 79.2 percent occupied during Q1 2017. Following its merger with Spectra Energy, Enbridge added the entirety of its space (13 floors) at 1100 Louisiana to the sublease market. Enbridge plans to consolidate employees at the Spectra headquarters located in the West Loop submarket. Although future available space is not included in the market report statistics, 1000 Main began marketing four floors available January 2018 as they anticipate NRG will relocate. Quoted net rental rates declined slightly from $28.97 during Q1 2017 to $28.88 during Q2 2017.

WEST LOOP

Although the West Loop submarket experienced an increase in leasing activity during Q2 2017, the space removed from the market did not negate the additional space added during the quarter. The submarket ended Q2 2017 at 75.7 percent occupied, slightly lower than the 76.0 percent occupied the previous quarter. Direct available rates rose from 18.7 percent available Q1 2017 to 19.3 percent available Q2 2017. Sublease space available declined from 5.3 percent available to 5.0 percent available during the same time period. Quoted net rental rates declined slightly from $24.38 during Q1 2017 to $24.22 during Q2 2017.

ENERGY CORRIDOR

With very little office space activity occurring during Q2 2017 in the Energy Corridor, market conditions remained relatively unchanged. The submarket ended Q2 2017 at 61.5 percent occupied compared to 61.2 percent occupied the previous quarter. Direct available rates declined from 24.1 percent available Q1 2017 to 23.8 percent available Q2 2017. Sublease space available remained unchanged ending Q2 2017 14.7 percent available. The cloud over the Energy Corridor does have a silver lining. This is the first quarter since Q1 2016 that a large tenant has not added its space to the sublease market. Quoted net rental rates declined from $22.92 during Q1 2017 to $22.46 during Q2 2017.

WESTCHASE

Overall occupancy rates declined 110 basis points during Q2 2017, ending the quarter at 66.1 percent occupied, down from 67.2 percent occupied during Q1 2017. Direct available rates rose from 20.5 percent available Q1 2017 to 20.9 percent available Q2 2017. Sublease space available rose from 12.4 percent available Q1 2017 to 13.0 percent available Q2 2017. Quoted net rental rates declined from $22.98 during Q1 2017 to $22.61 during Q2 2017. Aker Solutions recently added its 2.5 floors located at Pinnacle Westchase to the sublease market.
