Is Office Finding it's Footing?

Here's something to feel good about this Friday... #FeelGoodFriday

After several challenging years, there’s a shift worth paying attention to.

National office tenant demand has moved back into positive territory for the first time since 2019, with roughly 12.5 million square feet of net absorption in 2025. Vacancy has stabilized near 14%, and modern, high-quality office space is leading the momentum.

That’s not a flashy headline.
It’s something better: stability.

And stability is where confidence begins.

What we’re seeing nationally reinforces a theme we’ve been discussing locally in Houston and The Woodlands:

▪️The office market isn’t moving in one direction — performance varies by asset quality and location.
▪️Well-designed, amenitized spaces are outperforming older, less updated inventory.
▪️Strategy matters more than ever — for landlords, tenants, and investors alike.

For landlords, that means thoughtful positioning and competitive leasing strategies.
For tenants, it may mean opportunity in today’s market.
For investors, it suggests early signs of a turning point — particularly in premium assets.

Here in North Houston and The Woodlands, high-quality office space could benefit if this trend continues — especially as companies refine how and where they bring teams together.

Sometimes progress doesn’t look like a surge.
It looks like steady ground returning beneath your feet.

Wishing everyone a strong finish to the week.💪
